Stonehill Health Center sits in Dubuque, Iowa, and offers a wide range of care options for older adults, including independent apartments and villas for those who want to stay active, as well as assisted living, memory care, long-term care, and post-acute care. Stonehill supports people's daily needs by offering round-the-clock care, help with mobility, bathing, and health monitoring, and you'll find social workers available and a friendly environment overall. There's a special focus on health and wellness, with a modern wellness center that has a rubberized indoor walking track, treadmills, elliptical machines, NuStep® machines, recumbent bikes, strength training and circuit equipment, group fitness classes, and educational sessions. Stonehill also offers outpatient therapy, physical and occupational therapy, and rehabilitation, and the HydroWorx® 2000 underwater treadmill therapy pool and sauna are standouts, with aquatic therapy open to the public through appointments. The wellness center holds special classes, health coaching, and personal training, and hosts both virtual and in-person group activities and retreats.
The memory care program is designed to support the body, mind, and spirit, which fits with Stonehill's roots in faith-based, not-for-profit service led by a team that values compassion, hospitality, stewardship, and reverence. The staff cares for up to 214 older adults using a continuous care model, with a chapel inside the building where mass, bible study, and rosary services are held daily, including visits from on-site priests. Folks who value their animals will appreciate that Stonehill welcomes pets. There's a special short-term rehab unit with private suites that include flat-screen TVs, phones, and cable. Stonehill's services include transportation, programs like GUIDE Dementia Program and Mindful Moments, and a caregiver resource center for education and support. The organization accepts VA benefits and Elderly Waiver and is CARF-accredited. Both full-time and part-time staff work to maintain a welcoming environment based on Christian love and ensure good stewardship of the grounds and community resources. The care community's philosophy centers on dignity, empathy, and encouragement, with management led by President and CEO Peggy Stockel. The facility is connected with Stonehill Franciscan Services and aims to meet changing needs as people grow older.
