Arlin Falck Assisted Living sits within the Barthell O.E.S. Homes community, which also has townhomes, nursing homes, independent living, and other care services for older adults in Winneshiek County and nearby counties, so it's connected to a wider support system. The building has 32 apartments, including both one- and two-bedroom units, fully furnished and offering private or semi-private layouts, and all come with their own bathroom, kitchen, and storage, with sizes from 625 to 900 square feet, and some even have a balcony or porch-everything's accessible by elevator across the first and second floors, and every apartment has air-conditioning, cable, internet, individual thermostats, and emergency alert buttons or pull cords if help's needed. The place focuses on seniors who want independence or need help with daily living tasks, whether it's medication reminders, getting dressed, bathing, or other personal care-staff are always available, with the nursing team on-site for 12-16 hours daily and call support 24/7, so assistance is close by, and there's a daily wellness check managed by a registered nurse and social services.
Residents don't need to worry about things like cooking, cleaning, or laundry, since meals (with options for continental breakfast, noon meal, and supper), weekly housekeeping, linen service, and personal laundry are all part of the package, plus they use organic food and ingredients for meal preparation, while extra help like bed-making or more laundry can be arranged if needed. The apartments have walk-in shower stalls with safety bars, fold-down shower seats, grab bars, and hand-held shower heads for easier use, and units are wheelchair accessible for folks with mobility issues, even offering standby assistance near at hand, or assistance with transfers and non-ambulatory care. Utilities-including heat, electric, sewer, and trash-are part of the monthly rent, and payment can be made by credit card or check after a phone call starts the simple application process.
Arlin Falck Assisted Living supports residents with a busy calendar of activities set by the full-time activity director, so there are group activities, game nights, book clubs, cooking clubs, religious services from local clergy, wellness and fitness classes like yoga and chair yoga, exercise equipment including a Nustep machine, and offsite outings, all to keep folks busy and connected. There's a wide choice of hangout spots-a second-floor lounge with card tables, another TV lounge with a piano and fireplace, a library space good for reading and puzzles, a multipurpose room for private family gatherings, and common areas indoors and out, including walking paths, gardens, and a backyard patio with nature views, just right for relaxing. Residents and families can also reserve a Guest Room Apartment with two beds, a kitchenette, and a bathroom if they're visiting, and garage stalls and reserved outside parking make it easy for those who drive, while in-house transportation by van gets people to appointments.
Staff are ready for all sorts of care needs, from independent seniors who like not having housework, to those needing nursing home support or memory care, with Alzheimer's care programs and 24-hour supervision as needed, and help is available for veterans' benefits, financial advice, and cost assistance. Every apartment connects to public Wi-Fi, and specialized services include on-site beauty salon, haircuts, barber services, plus indoor laundry rooms on each floor for added convenience. Residents join community meals in the spacious dining room or enjoy their own kitchen, and there's always help close by for emergencies or daily needs-since Arlin Falck Assisted Living provides an honest, safe, and neighborly place for older adults to call home.
