South View Manor sits in Des Moines, Iowa and serves seniors aged 62 or older with a range of care options, so there's a Service Coordinator on hand, plus a Senior Housing Case Manager seniors can lean on, and all 50 units in the three-story building are for affordable, income-based rent with all utilities paid for one-bedroom apartments, which helps stretch fixed incomes. The Manor's got a mix of comfortable one and two bedroom apartments, with studio layouts as well, and they have an elevator, onsite laundry, parking, and community rooms so people can gather, while access to public transportation makes getting around town easier. Each apartment aims for comfort and safety, and the building's maintenance staff help keep everything in order.
Residents' well-being is a priority, so South View Manor offers home care, assisted living for help with daily needs, memory care for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, and independent living for folks wanting an active but hassle-free setting, and the building design reduces confusion and prevents wandering for those that need it. Seniors also have access to special housing services with programs for chronic mental illness, developmental disabilities, or brain injuries, and on top of that, there's a focus on physical, social, mental, and emotional engagement-activities win awards for community involvement. A Service Coordinator is always ready with information and referral services, plus there's a Senior Housing Case Manager to help handle paperwork or connect residents to more help if needed.
South View Manor keeps meals nutritious and balanced, with ingredients chosen for quality, and the kitchen staff know how important this is for health. The staff are known for being friendly, helpful, and kind, both to residents and visitors, and the facility stays busy with activities for all interests-whether that's social, physical, or creative. The facility is owned and run by Story County, Iowa, and is connected in some ways with local government, which handles everything from animal control to veterans' affairs, and even highway signs and wastewater systems, and the building itself, called the Administration Building, houses departments for records and permits. Maintenance, case management, and county services are part of the support, so needs get taken care of quickly. They work on improvements, too, as the last remodeling aimed to finish by Spring 2010.
South View Manor offers secure, affordable senior living in a community setting focused on health, safety, and connection, aiming to make daily life manageable and comfortable for older adults in Story County.
