Timely Mission finalizes plans for assisted living

     The plans are complete for the new assisted living facility at Timely Mission Nursing Home, and the new facility is scheduled to open in the fall of 2017.

     The assisted living facility will consist of 10 double occupancy apartments, with each containing a living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. The building will also have a central dining area, a therapy gym and facilities for laundry, beauty and spa. The assisted living will offer residents three nutritious meals per day, along with medication management, daily housekeeping, monthly health checkups and nursing staff available 24 hours a day.

     The new building will replace the Timely Mission apartment building located just to the south of the nursing home. Stephanie Morris, administrator of Timely Mission Nursing Home, says they hope to get construction going this fall. A second apartment building located further south will remain.

     Timely Mission recently got a boost for the assisted living project in the form of a $10,000 Venture Grant Award from United Way of North Central Iowa. Venture Grant funding is awarded to local non-profit programs that help meet an emerging or unmet need in the region.

     In addition to the assisted living project, Timely Mission is also looking to undergo significant renovations at the nursing home in 2018. Morris says their goal is to create private rooms at the nursing home for all residents, and to accomplish that, they plan to build a new wing onto the facility and to knock down and rebuild an existing wing.
