My parents have both resided at Homestead of Algona since 02/2023 and they absolutely love it. The staff that come in and give them their medications and showers are so kind and caring. When they moved in, my mom had very dry skin and was getting sores because she couldn’t bathe herself well. Since moving in the staff help her put on lotion every morning and she hasn’t had problems, her skin looks the best it has in a while! The nurse is wonderful and does a great job communicating with me and my siblings about any concerns. The ED is always friendly. My parents rave about the food. And the activity lady puts on great activities for the residents! The hallways and rooms are always clean and smell nice. I can’t say enough great things about this place. My parents friends are moving in by the end of the month. I wouldn’t choose anywhere different for my parents and they love it there so much!

Not a positive experience
A new corporation recently took over the management of this facility. They do have a FEW direct care workers that are kind and knowledgeable workers. The facility is so poorly managed that the great workers they have seek positions elsewhere because they cannot survive in this hostile atmosphere. As a family member be prepared to advocate for your loved ones and do some of the personal cares yourself. They do not have enough staff and weekends there are even worse. It is no lie for me to say that I have witnessed times when your loved one does not have staff available to care for them in a timely manner. The food there is of poor quality and often times very small portions are provided. The facility is kept clean. I have witnessed overnight staff that sleeps while on duty and management does nothing about this when they are informed. Some of the workers are capable of swearing at the residents and are as rude as can be to family members that have questions. I would not advise placement

Frequently Asked Questions
about Homestead of Algona

Homestead of Algona offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Homestead of Algona 6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.

Call (515) 395-1512 to reach a resident at Homestead of Algona.
