Feels like home, not a hotel.
A great apartment that feels like home. Delicious dining options. Laughter with friends.
Freedom from upkeep, maintenance and boredom.
A simple lease, no mysterious fees, and a stellar reputation for over twenty years. It's no wonder we've been voted Iowa City's Best Retirement Community multiple years in a row!
Ready to embrace a new chapter? We're ready to welcome you home to Melrose Meadows.
"Do yourself a favor and don't wait too long to move here."
-Lucy M., Melrose resident
WHAT WE OFFER
Bright, private Independent Living and Assisted Living apartments in a quiet neighborhood setting.
Our friendly community of 89 apartments is nestled on a beautifully maintained campus surrounded by mature trees, a natural pond, and plenty of green space. With a stellar location right next to West High School and just minutes from University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, you'll find great food, friendship, and maintenance-free retirement living in the heart of Iowa City.
Ready to say goodbye to home upkeep, property taxes, maybe tasks like cooking and cleaning? Looking to expand your social circle? Enjoy maintenance-free retirement living with endless social opportunities and fabulous amenities (like housekeeping and meals) in one of our beautiful Independent Living apartments.

​
Want a little help with daily tasks, like dressing, showering or managing medications? Still want to do what you like and come and go as you please? With staff on site 24/7, one of our bright, private Assisted Living apartments could be the right fit for you.
​
Maybe you're interested in reminders for things like meals and activities, or some general guidance throughout the day. Assisted Living is still a great fit for folks who have memory issues, as long as they don't need a locked facility or round-the-clock supervision. Not everybody needs Memory Care! Call us with any questions, we're happy to help!
​
(This is not a nursing home - you bring your own furniture and are encouraged to be as independent as possible! Melrose Meadows is the only all-inclusive Assisted Living in the area, meaning your rent includes assistance with bathing, dressing, reminders, medications, and all daily cares.)
​
​
We do not have skilled therapy, long-term care/nursing home, or memory care here at Melrose. But feel free to give us a call, we're happy to help point you in the right direction!
COME SEE FOR YOURSELF
*YES, WE'RE OPEN FOR TOURS! No masks required!*
​
We'd love to show you around. Give us a call or shoot us an email to schedule your tour!
