WE'D LOVE TO MEET YOU HERE ~ EVERYONE IS WELCOME ~ PLEASE BRING A FRIEND!

We’re all on this journey together! Our caring staff at GARDEN VIEW PLACE commits to all who enter our doors that we will always:

* RESPECT everyone for who they are and who they may become;

* RECOGNIZE that every person is unique and has their own set of values, beliefs, ideas, and ways of doing things; and,

* RESPOND responsibly to everyone's concerns, needs, and ideas.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll around our well-maintained and carefully-manicured Garden View Park & Trail nestled in northeast Iowa's gently rolling hills, a very scenic and unique part of the Driftless Area, the only area of its kind on earth!

For an extended stroll or a picnic in cooler shaded woodland surroundings, enter our newly-extended Butterfly Trail that conveniently starts right outside our door and connects with Darby Family Aquatic Center, Butterfly Gardens, Memorial Gardens, Gateway Park's Veterans Memorial, and points beyond.

Sit, read a book or relax for a spell on one of the many memorial park benches resting under the shade trees of the Butterfly Gardens, where, at certain times of the year, you will observe a large variety of birds, butterflies and pollinators. See and smell the colorful perfumed perennial blooms and fresh rural Iowa air.

Take your friends, family or grandchildren for a walk or play-time at the nearby GARDEN VIEW PARK with its new playground, picnic-rest areas, gazebo & memorial park benches dotted along the Butterfly Trail, winding through parks & gardens around town.

Under this website's "Moving to Monona" section, you'll get to know more about Monona, Iowa's high-quality senior care at GARDEN VIEW PLACE & offered by its hard-working, loving team of care-givers!

In 2020, we just finished expanding our Memory Care units from 6 to 10, which give us 38 total one- or two-bedroom apartments and studio apartments that consist of : Independent Assisted Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care apartments, with a full range of services available such as various levels of assistance, meals, transit, garage rental, and more. In 2020, we completed building our brand new four-seasons room complete with vista views and cozy fireplace, and brand new cozy, comfy furniture. Our dining area also has been remodeled to better suit our residents' dining needs.

Please join Monona Chamber in congratulating GARDEN VIEW PLACE as our BUSINESS OF THE MONTH, highlighted in this Local Business Spotlight:

Our facility is located in Monona, Clayton County, Iowa in the northeastern tip of our great state, in the heart of the naturally-pristine, picturesque and unique Driftless Area.

Our mission here at GARDEN VIEW PLACE is simple — to make sure we do everything possible to enrich the lives of everyone we serve. Each and every person who has become part of our family will be treated with the utmost respect, compassion and dignity. That includes promoting individuality, independence and choice.

Below is a GVP resident volunteering by listening to a young student reading a book to her at MFL MarMac CSD.

One morning we were up "bright and early" to go to the elementary school to read with the children. What a wonderful feeling -- as much as we love and appreciate all those caring individuals who come in to our retirement houses to volunteer time -- we can also share our time to help groom our future leaders from MFL MarMac.

We plan to visit every other Wednesday and the school can always use more reading volunteers. So we challenge you too to share some time to give back your service to your community. It'll make you feel great inside and you'll never regret helping others. Please contact Heidi Meyer at Monona's elementary school to get started.
