Your Trusted Senior Living & Memory Care Community in Iowa
At Hansen House, we began with a deeply personal mission: to create a compassionate, secure environment for individuals facing memory loss. Our journey started when my father, William Hansen, faced the challenges of dementia. Witnessing his struggleand the lack of specialized care optionsmotivated us to build a community where residents receive personalized attention while living with dignity. Today, we operate two locations in Council Bluffs and Harlan, Iowa, dedicated to memory care and assisted living. Our team brings decades of experience in senior care, combining clinical expertise with a family-centered approach. We prioritize safety through thoughtfully designed environments, including secure courtyards and attentive staff trained in dementia support.Our life enrichment programs address physical, mental, and social wellness, fostering joy and engagement through music, exercise, and creative activities. With 24/7 supervision and a commitment to transparent communication, we aim to ease the burden on families while ensuring residents thrive. Recognizing the emotional challenges of transitioning to senior living, we offer tours, personalized care plans, and ongoing support to help families make informed decisions. Our testimonials reflect our dedication to making Hansen House not just a residence, but a true home for those we serve.
