Sunrise Villa Assisted Living

Sunrise Villa Assisted Living sits on North 12th Street in Bellevue, Iowa, in a quiet area about 17.5 miles from Maquoketa, and it helps seniors who need help with daily living, offering both assisted living and memory care for people with different health concerns, and it's the kind of place where you'll find 36 licensed studio rooms all on one property, so everyone's got their own space but the building isn't so big that folks get lost in the shuffle, and you'll see that their care focus mostly stays on helping with things like bathing, dressing, and medication, all while letting people do as much for themselves as they can. The staff here helps with meals, food prep, housekeeping, and even some specialized needs like diabetic or incontinence support, which can be a real load off for families who don't live nearby, and they keep the place friendly with plenty of activities both on and offsite, so nobody has to sit alone if they don't want to. There's a few common areas for socializing, and they offer devotional activities. Some folks in the community have said the staff is friendly, with people getting awards for being helpful and kind, but reviews about the community average low, with an average rating of 1 out of 10 on at least one public site, and that's worth knowing if you're considering the place. Sunrise Villa runs a state-licensed program and tries to personalize care, but they don't take Medicare, since they aren't certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, meaning all costs will come from private pay or other sources. Most residents have mobility and get around on their own but need some help now and then, and with meals made from quality ingredients and a focus on keeping folks both active and comfortable, Sunrise Villa Assisted Living does its best to offer a supportive setting for seniors in Bellevue, Iowa.
