Homestead of Mason City

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.
Country Meadow Place Assisted Living and Memory Care Community in Mason City, IA
3.9
It's all good but, they should tell what all you need for the room before moving love one in. We picked this community because of the memory care unit.
Cedars of Austin
3.9
Friendly staff, receptive to my concerns and feedback. The assisted living yes, the memory care side is very small and depressing . Staff are helpful and nice, but not all experienced with my dad's needs with colostomy and prosthetic leg.
