Evans Memorial Home

Evans Memorial Home sits at 1010 North Elm Street in Cresco, Iowa, and offers several types of senior care under one roof, so folks can find independent living, assisted living, memory care, long-term nursing, and skilled rehabilitation services all in the same place, and the apartments come in one-bedroom or deluxe sizes that are spacious and meant for people aged 55 and older, with both private and semi-private room options available for different needs. The community-owned, non-profit structure means Evans Memorial Home focuses on care over profit, and they provide skilled nurses around the clock, regular help from physical therapists and speech pathologists, and a full activities program to help keep residents engaged, whether in devotional, social, or physical activities, both on-site and offsite, and there's a memory support area designed in an open concept with natural light so folks can move about safely and keep their routines. People in assisted living get a homelike setting with 24/7 nursing help and care plans made with nurses for those who want a little extra assistance, while other services like incontinence and diabetic care, medication management, special diets watched by a registered dietitian, and even transportation to medical appointments for an extra charge are all part of what goes on here, and respite care is also there for adults with disabilities who might need a short stay. Meals come chef-prepared, two per day, focusing on good nutrition, and utility costs, cable, and Wi-Fi are tucked into the monthly rent except for the phone, and daily convenience services like housekeeping are standard, with emergency services staffed around the clock. For those needing help at home, Evans Memorial Home connects to Home Care, Home Health, and Hospice, along with support and referral services, which stretch the help into the wider community. Room and board can be paid month-to-month, and they accept veterans benefits and some long-term care insurance for those who qualify. The on-site staff includes nurses, one RN, one therapy aide, and consulting specialists, making regular check-ins and taking care of physical needs, and everyone living here can join in life enrichment programs. Families and residents can use a private log-in for more information, and you'll find both indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxing or joining with others. Evans Memorial Home works to create a safe, comfortable place to live for seniors who want independent apartments, more hands-on nursing, or specialized care for memory loss, all while keeping things straightforward and neighborly.
