Iowa is often referred to as the “Land of the Rolling Prairie” due to the immense fertile plains that cover the region. The state is famous for its farms, growing crops such as corn and soybeans. Iowa is more than just farmland, however – it’s home to many quaint, rural towns as well as larger cities such as Sioux City and Des Moines. Its varied landscape, relatively low cost of living, and proximity to major Midwestern cities like Chicago and Minneapolis make Iowa a convenient location to call home and a great place to retire.
There are more than 70 nursing homes in Iowa. A Place for Mom’s Senior Living Advisors can provide you with a list of nursing homes in Iowa to help you find the community that fits your needs and budget.
According to Genworth, the median monthly cost of a private room in a nursing home in Iowa is about $6,900. The median monthly price for a semi private room is around $6,400.

So far we love it. The environment is great along with the staff. It's a beautiful facility but doesn't look like the normal "facility" , looks more like apartment hallways. Thank you for everything you have...
What we like the most about the Edencrest at Riverwoods community is the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to make my mom as comfortable as possible in her last days.
Food was not great. Staff was amazing! So helpful and kind! Activities were fun and engaging. Wish bingo was every day. Dining was the only negative, food was unappealing and not a lot of choices. Definitely...

The staff is very nice and communicative. The activities are limited, but with the population they have, I understand why. The food is bad, but I think that is par of the course of any assisted living place.
