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.

My experience with them was great, however my mother moved herself out & is responsible for her own care. I would recommend them.

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.
Overall, the experience has been average. Cleanliness is excellent, and most of the staff are very friendly. The quality of care ranges from below average to average. The food has been poor, although I have...
