Set on a wooded hill, in a small village like neighborhood, Glen Haven Village is a project that will offer 6 skilled nursing cottages to the area’s aging community.  One of the cottages will specialize in providing the highest quality memory care for those affected by dementia related illness, while another will be designated to serve those from the community needing short-term rehabilitation services in order to return home.  The neighborhood of cottages will feature private suites with bathrooms as well as other accommodations to meet the individual needs of its residents.  Each newly renovated cottage would staff two personal assistants at all times; thus, each resident would receive more one on one time with staff to fulfill their needs.

The Board of Directors for Glen Haven Home Inc. is very excited about bringing this concept to Iowa, as many other states are adopting this style of retirement living and rehabilitative care. The Glen Haven Village will not only optimize resident privacy but also brings many opportunities for socializing in a home environment.  Additionally, this particular location, on the outskirts of the Glenwood Resource Center Campus, is an ideal site for providing care in a peaceful, home-like atmosphere surrounded by nature and picturesque views of our area’s rolling hill landscapes.

For the past two years the Glen Haven Home Board of Directors has been working along with many community partners to lay the groundwork for this project, which will replace the 54 year old Glen Haven Home.  The project includes the complete renovation of 6 existing buildings on the state-owned Glenwood Resource Center Campus.

Great progress has been made to-date, Glen Haven Home has now signed a 50-year lease for cottages on the Glenwood Resource Center campus and despite delays,  renovations are now underway with a projected completion in August of 2019.
