Not home-like, but home: Iowa’s first freestanding small house nursing homes for people with dementia What is it you love about being in your home? Maybe it’s your favorite chair, the view from your porch, the meals you enjoy, or simply the freedom you have there. Maybe the loss of home is why more people fear moving to a nursing home than dying. We’re working to change that. Our first two cottages for nursing care opened in June 2015. Do the photos at right look like a traditional nursing home, or a real home? Only 16 residents live in each of the two cottages, designed like a Craftsman-style family home with life revolving around the great room with a fireplace and open kitchen. Each resident enjoys a spacious, private bedroom and attached bathroom with European-style shower. No more long hallways, nurses’ stations, tile floors, overhead paging, large sterile dining rooms, shared rooms, noisy med carts, and one-size-fits-all daily routines. No more following a model of care that puts medical needs and staff efficiency first, as nursing homes have done for decades. Show All
