Key Review Excerpts

It was the cleanest facility I have ever been in! From the moment you walk in the door, Connie at the front desk greets you! She is great to visit with and answers any questions you may have.

Rehab and Hospice family member · 2025★★★★★

My parents lived at Methodist Manor for one year while we were in Storm Lake. They had excellent care, good food, and sufficient privacy as was their preference. Beautiful lake setting with many activities and good stimulation.

Methodist Manor has recurring issues with resident assessments and care planning, emergency preparedness, and infection control that persist across multiple surveys since 2023, suggesting ongoing quality concerns. Two families filed complaints about failure to notify them of resident situations, and issues with providing appropriate treatment and care were also documented. While all deficiencies show correction dates, the repeated patterns across years indicate systemic challenges that warrant careful evaluation during any visit.
