Cedar Rapids Senior Living Options: Grand Living at Indian Creek

 Grand Living At Indian Creek


We're embarking on a tour of the Senior Living options in the Cedar Rapids area.


Why?
As Senior Real Estate Specialists we realize many people are trying to plan as they decide
what will be the right fit for them.
It can be overwhelming, but the most important thing is to do your homework

We'll feature various communities here to give you an idea about what's available.
Our objective isn't to advertise or promote any one community, but to give you a sense of what to expect.  
Please note that information is accurate at the time of this post and pricing and options change over time.

After sharing general information for each community, we'll cover 4 main aspects to consider for each.

1) The type of senior community or levels of care available
Independent living, Assisted Living, Skilled Care, Memory Care, Continuum of Care

2) Price
Monthly Fees
The less care needed, the less expensive the price is.
Fees increase with care.  Assisted living is more expensive than Independent living, and Memory and Skilled care are more expensive than Assisted living.

4) Location and Facilities

Please join our first tour . . .


Grand Living at Indian Creek

325 Collins Road SE, Cedar Rapids

Grand Lounge with fireplace & grand piano

Katie Dostal, Regional Director of Sales, graciously gave us a tour.

She explained that the concept of Grand Living communities is based on that of the Ritz-Carlton Company, where hospitality and exceptional service is key -
their community is like living at a resort full time.
And who wouldn't like that?

This newer community is nestled along the Indian Creek Reserve with views of trees and wildlife, but with convenient proximity to shopping and entertainment.

Courtyard & patio area

"We proudly offer a remarkable hospitality experience for you to enjoy the best years of your life.  Our entire service approach is epitomized by THE STERLING TOUCH, which we created in concert with luxury resort  brands.  This exceptional service to our residents and guests embraces the uniqueness of each individual.  Discover how joyful life can be at Grand Living."

Notables: Pets are allowed, there are Chef-prepared meals, FACETS - their "collection of life-enriching experiences.  From our BRAVO program of world-class music and entertainment performances in our Forum Theatre, to cocktails in the Legends Club.  Enjoy a game of cards or bocce ball, or take part in our Grand Patriots or Grand Perspectives programs."
