Apple Valley Place of Clear Lake

This is Senior Living, Only Better.

The Rhythm is Yours. The Support is Ours

At Apple Valley Place of Clear Lake, senior living is shaped around the people who live here. Support is provided with care and respect, while daily life is guided by resident choice, personal routines, and the connections that grow naturally when people have a voice in their community.

Set in Clear Lake, IA, Apple Valley Place reflects its lakeside surroundings and close-knit small-town feel. Residents have easy access to local shops, restaurants, seasonal events, and the shoreline that defines the area, giving each day a mix of familiar comfort and opportunities to get out and enjoy what they love.

What truly defines life here is how residents help lead it. From shaping activity calendars and sharing input on dining to welcoming new neighbors and contributing ideas for community events, residents play an active role in decisions that affect daily life.

This resident-driven approach creates a Clear Lake Senior Living community that reflects the interests, preferences, and individuality of the people who call it home.

This is senior living, only better.

Care That Grows With You

At Apple Valley Place, we offer three levels of care under one welcoming roof, so residents can settle in and stay as their needs evolve. By offering assisted living, memory care, and short-term respite stays close to home, our team shapes support around how each resident wants to live.

For residents who need a little extra help with daily living, our Assisted Living program pairs personalized support with the warmth of neighbors who know you by name. From medication management to dressing, bathing, and mobility, our team is there when you need them and happy to step back when you don’t.
