Great place for the price.
Compared to other homes in the area they are most cost effective. In regards to my other numbers 3 is average. Could do a little more activity but being a smaller size I know they are limited with staff. Overall experience has been good so far.

They're very caring. The Nursing staff is very proactive with the resident's needs.
The staff and the management are very receptive. If there is an issue, they own it. They don't try to give you excuses for anything. They've been very helpful. I think the facility is very nice. It's much more intimate than the another facility our loved one lived at previously, which is good. The menu looks good, and my loved one says the food is fine. They give the residents a calendar of activities for the month, and they usually have several things scheduled every day. They also try to get the residents outside as much as they can.

The staff we met with was very helpful and understanding of my mother's situation. After the tour we selected her room and will be moving her into Homestead early next month.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Homestead of Mason City

Homestead of Mason City offers Studio. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Homestead of Mason City 8.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
