Our Story
In 25 years of service to the community, we have established ourselves as the facility of choice for Mason and southern Tazewell counties.
In 1984, a group of Mason City residents discussed how they could bring more industry into town. The topic of building a nursing facility came up. From that point on, sheer determination led to the realization of that dream. Residents of Mason City and many of the surrounding towns raised over $700,000 to build our nursing home. Mason City Area Nursing Home opened in 1989 with just six residents. It was projected that it would take four years to fill the facility; however, in just one and a half years, that goal was realized.
Today, we are a community-owned, 97-bed facility offering three levels of care - shelter, intermediate, and skilled. We are also Medicare/Medicaid certified and managed by Heritage Enterprises.
