    About Northshire

    Northshire, at 711 W. 11th St. in Spencer, Iowa, is a senior living community that offers many types of care and services, like skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care, adult care home services, hospice, and home care for people who want to stay in their homes. The facility has both independent living and nursing home care and helps folks with daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and eating, but also tries to promote as much independence as possible, and you'll find staff who help 24 hours a day and nurses on duty all the time too. Residents can choose private or semi-private rooms, each with a private bathroom, and they're welcome to bring things from home, like a radio, books, magazines, TV, computer, or even furniture, which helps make their space feel personal and comfortable. Meals are served in the community dining room with options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and snacks are available around the clock; the facility offers allergy-sensitive and diabetes-friendly diets, with dietary consulting as needed, and folks can eat in their rooms or join others for meal times, plus there's an all-day dining option.

    Everyone gets help, depending on their needs, with things like medication management, transfers, and even special therapies, including physical, speech, and occupational therapy, so people recovering from illness or surgery have extra support, and there's a focus on keeping up health through things like a blood pressure clinic and coordination with healthcare providers. There's a lot to do, with activity programs such as music, movies, games, exercise classes, book clubs, Bible study, arts and crafts, and community celebrations, and Northshire also offers religious services, like Catholic Mass, Methodist communion, and non-denominational gatherings right on site. Residents can spend time outside in the walking paths and garden or enjoy community outings, day trips, and transportation services when they need to go to a medical appointment or run errands, and the staff handles housekeeping, laundry-including dry cleaning and weekly laundry at no extra cost-so rooms stay clean and neat.

    Northshire's mission is to help every resident live at their highest level of ability, for as long as possible, while respecting their personal preferences, and they try to create a home-like, safe, and clean setting. With programs for seniors who need a little help and others who need long-term supervision or skilled nursing care, Northshire runs with a social model that values community, giving everyone choices in how they live each day. The business office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm but closed on weekends, and the facility also offers move-in coordination. The rooms have telephones, and people can use private lines or cell phones; there's a hair salon for grooming needs and resident lounges for relaxing. Special programs have unique names within Northshire, and every resident gets a personal care plan worked out with them in mind, whether they need memory care, hospice support, physical care, or more social activities. The staff makes sure each person has what they need to stay safe, comfortable, and engaged, helping with all kinds of care, from non-ambulatory assistance to managing health conditions or just making sure folks feel at home and part of a community. Northshire accepts many insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, private long-term care policies, and private insurance, making it easier for families to find care. Residents find a welcoming place with both indoor and outdoor amenities, a focus on comfort, and a steady routine that lets them thrive without losing independence.
