Bishop Drumm Retirement Center

Bishop Drumm Retirement Center sits at 5837 Winwood Dr in Johnston, Iowa, right near local hospitals, doctors, shops, and entertainment which makes getting out or seeing specialists easier for folks who live there, and the main language for staff is English. The center belongs to Chiliving Communities and works with Trinity Health Plan. They offer different levels of care like independent living, assisted living-where team members help with things like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine-plus skilled nursing, rehabilitation, adult day services, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or similar dementia. Residents can sit outside or spend time in indoor common areas, visit the beautician onsite, enjoy chef-prepared meals made with attention to healthy ingredients, or take part in devotional services. There's a full calendar of social, educational, and entertaining activities so folks have chances to meet others, make friends, and stay involved, and the staff tries to create a cozy, warm feeling and give each person some attention. Rooms include features like wheelchair accessible showers and other accommodations for daily needs, whether people get around easily or need more help, and the center offers help with things like diabetic care, managing medicine, and incontinence support, with staff available around the clock. Structured services help residents keep their independence as much as possible while having support nearby, and the lifestyle program means there's always something going on or a newsletter to read. Short-term or respite stays are available, but Bishop Drumm isn't accepting new patients right now and asks people to call about openings. The retirement center tries to make life comfortable and safe with a variety of care options, planned activities, and support for different health conditions as people age.
