Snuggled in north-central Iowa’s Buena Vista County, Wel-Life at Alta provides a safe and quiet environment in a single-level dwelling. Small enough to provide one-on-one service, yet large enough to have several common areas and a large variety of activities, our community has the atmosphere, comfort and love of home. In addition to assisted living, we also offer respite care.
Established in 1878, Alta is a small agricultural community that is fast becoming a center for wind energy. Although a bedroom community of Storm Lake, businesses are growing and the city takes pride in housing the Buena Vista County Fair and the Alta Raceway.
We are a family-oriented health care provider, dedicated to excellence, whose mission is to enhance the lives of those we serve by providing quality care with respect, dignity and kindness.
At WEL-Life Assisted Living at Alta, our goal is to give each of our residents the support he or she needs to become as independent and safe as possible everyday, functional activities. From short-term rehabilitation to longer, more involved care, we strive to make every stay with us as comfortable and useful as possible. Our commitment to treating each of our residents with respect, dignity, and kindness make our facility feel more like home, and our top-notch staff and ever-expanding set of services and features make sure you and your loved ones get the exceptional level care that you depend on.
At WEL-Life, we understand that moving from a familiar environment to a new community is a big change. We’re here to help you every step of the way. Before you move in, we’ll develop a personalized health and wellness plan that includes a pre-admission appointment with your physician. The plan also includes your individual preferences, lifestyle interests and goals. Once you arrive, our transition team helps you thrive in your new home with services that include:
- Medication management
- Assistance with bathing and dressing
- Wound care
- Coordinated services with outside healthcare professionals
- Recreational and social programming
- Housekeeping, laundry service, and apartment maintenance
- Transportation coordination
- Three meals a day
We specialize in team care planning for our residents. Drawing on the combined input and skills of the resident, family members, physicians, nurses, therapists, departmental staff, and professional consultants, we approach the well-being of our residents from every possible angle.
Because we take such a hands-on approach to care, the quality of our staff is as important as anything in delivering on our promise. Our residents tell us we have some of the best people around, so take a second to get to know one of our staff members, and see if you agree with them.
We are committed to help you pursue the activities you love, and support you in a safe and caring environment you’ll be happy to call home.
A choice of apartment styles is available to fit your individual lifestyle:
- Studio
- Studio Deluxe
- One Bedroom
- Two Bedroom
When we say we serve our community, we mean that in more ways than one. A big part of feeling "at home" is feeling like you’re part of the neighborhood, so we always try to give our residents opportunities to participate in and add to the lives of those around us.
