Primrose Retirement Community of Council Bluffs

No

It did not take long for my parents. It depends on care and availability. Great staff! Loved ones are very well taken care of.

My Mother, who is reliant on a walker, lives in the "Independent Living" area of the Primrose where residents are expected to be mostly self sufficent. She does recieve weekly assistance with light housekeeping and there is a three meals a day meal plan available. (My Mom eats two meals in the dining room and prepares her own evening meal in her apartment.) She has access to 24 hr a day emergency assistance provided via a button she wears on her person by the Primrose. She is provided transportation to Dr. Appts and regular trips to stores but she must be independently able for this. I know The Primrose does have a "home health care" section for less independent people, but I don't know exactly what services they provide there. I do not think they provide the level of care of a nursing home. My Mom really likes The Primrose, and I find the staff very caring and involved. There are many social areas (movie theater, hair salon, library etc.)
