Homestead Assisted Living of Chariton

Homestead Assisted Living of Chariton sits in Chariton, Iowa, and gives seniors assisted living and memory care support in a single-story, easy-to-navigate building with both interior and outdoor spaces set up for comfort and safety, and the way the staff helps with activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management means families know their loved ones get the care they need. Certified staff members stay on-site around the clock, and rooms have a 24-hour emergency call system, grab bars, and step-in showers, so residents don't have to worry as much about their safety, while on-call licensed nurses and trained caregivers work together to give personalized care plans and friendly support every day. Folks can pick from private suites, shared suites, and studio apartments, and the rooms have Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, and a kitchen, and the staff lets everyone bring their own things to decorate and make the place feel more like home. The Homestead Of Chariton gives residents daily home-cooked meals served in a restaurant-style or communal dining room, plus guest meal options, and takes care of housekeeping, laundry, and all property upkeep, so seniors don't need to worry about chores. Throughout the day, staff organizes activities like games, gardening club meetings, live music, and holiday parties and encourages residents to mingle in shared lounges or outside on walking paths and patios, and there's even a salon and therapy room inside to meet more needs. The memory care program helps those living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia by offering a secure area, specialized staff, structured mind-stimulating activities, and routine wellness checks, and they always assess care plans to make sure they're right for each person. Residents can get to and from appointments or outings with provided transportation, and the building's pet-friendly, so seniors can bring a companion animal if they want. The Homestead Of Chariton belongs to the Midwest Health Family of Communities, so it follows the network's quality guidelines and has both assisted living and memory care services available at two locations in town: 1110 North 6th Street for assisted living, and 220 Northwestern Avenue for memory care. The community welcomes tours and will share more about services, care levels, amenities, and floor plans for both types of care as needed.
