You’ve been planning and saving for your next chapter for a long time. Let’s bring it to life.

Who We Are

Meth-Wick Community is a Life Plan Community in Cedar Rapids, IA for adults age 55 and older. Residents choose from five styles of living offered on our 68-acre wooded campus; independent living, Independence Plus, assisted living, memory care, and nursing care. Once a resident moves to Meth-Wick, they’ll never have to move again. Our wellness campus offers the largest range of health care options in the area. If a resident’s health needs change, they simply move down the street to a different area of campus where our capable staff provides expert care for their unique needs.  

Local and Not-For-Profit

We’re proud to be a locally managed nonprofit. That means we’re not owned by an impersonal conglomerate and we aren’t beholden to a board or investors. We are intentionally structured to make decisions based on the best interests of our residents and nothing else.

Our Campus, Our City

Since 1961, Meth-Wick residents have had the advantage of living in two communities — Meth-Wick Community and the city of Cedar Rapids. They have access to two state-of-the-art medical centers in town and the nationally-renowned University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City. Meth-Wick residents live just a few minutes from downtown Cedar Rapids, which is filled with endless activities, cultural attractions and entertainment.  It’s all part of our commitment to being a leading wellness campus with options for care.

Retirement isn’t what it used to be.

Meth-Wick Community offers a full spectrum of living options from total independence to total care. With so many options in one community, you’ll never have to worry about moving again, even if your lifestyle or health care needs change.

Meth-Wick is the largest and most experienced senior living community in Cedar Rapids, serving older adults since 1961. Why do residents continue to choose us? For some, it’s our culture centered around wellness and community. For others, it’s the chance to live among the wooded hills, walking paths and ponds of our 68-acre private campus. But for most, it’s the knowledge that they’ll get to live out this exciting chapter of their lives just as they’ve always planned.
