Located on Washington Avenue in Iowa Falls, Heritage Care Center is a long-term care facility that has recently been purchased by Scenic Living Communities. The acquisition took place in July 2021, as the Board of Directors of Scenic Living Communities decided to take over the operations of this facility from Vetter Senior Living. The transition was prompted by changes in demographics and the healthcare industry, which had impacted occupancy rates at both care centers even before the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vetter Senior Living, the previous owner of Heritage Care Center, expressed gratitude towards the Iowa Falls community for their support over the years and acknowledged the dedication of the staff, especially during the challenges posed by the pandemic. The decision to sell the facility to Scenic Living Communities was made with the best interests of the residents, families, staff, and the community in mind. It is expected that the new owners will uphold the high standard of care that Iowa Falls residents have come to expect from Heritage Care Center.
In the coming months, Scenic Living Communities will assess both care centers to ensure a smooth transition and continued quality of care for the residents. The press release announcing the purchase highlighted the mutual respect between the previous and current owners, acknowledging the role that Heritage Care Center has played in providing care for its residents and their families. Vetter Senior Living expressed confidence in Scenic Living Communities' ability to maintain the level of care that has become a hallmark of Heritage Care Center.
As part of the Scenic Living Communities senior living campus in Iowa Falls, Heritage Care Center is poised to continue serving the community with compassion and dedication. With a focus on the well-being of its residents and a commitment to excellence in long-term care services, Heritage Care Center remains a vital resource for seniors in the Iowa Falls area.
