Fourteen apartment floor plans, three meals a day, and a utilities package that runs from wifi to garbage collection: that's what you actually get here, and the housekeeping schedule is the one thing that separates the two main levels.

Boyson Heights sits in Cedar Rapids, IA, and runs a fourth level, Enhanced Living, alongside the usual three.

Pricing at Boyson Heights

Boyson Heights doesn't share a price for any of its levels, and its floor plans page still shows empty placeholders where the square footage and rent should be. So there's no number online to compare against, and asking is the only way to get one. One request through Get Pricing gets you the monthly rent for the level you want and whether care is billed on top, so you can compare Boyson Heights properly against anywhere else on your list.

What Your Monthly Rent Includes at Boyson Heights

What the rent covers here is unusually specific:

• Wifi and basic cable
• Electric, heat, water and garbage
• Three meals a day
• Staff on hand 24/7
• An emergency pendant in the apartment
• Housekeeping and linen: every other week, or weekly in assisted living

That housekeeping frequency is the only difference the community actually spells out between the two levels, which is useful when you're weighing what the step up really buys you.

Apartment Homes at Boyson Heights

Fourteen floor plans are named as a count, with open living areas, accessible bathrooms and modern kitchenettes. Only two are shown with beds and baths, and the page shows placeholders instead of square footage and rent, so there's no floor area given for any apartment here. Their team can give you the dimensions of the apartment you'd actually take, which makes it far easier to picture your own furniture in it than anything online manages.

Care and Support at Boyson Heights

Assisted living starts with a nurse assessment, and a personalized care plan comes out of it. Enhanced Living is a dedicated area inside assisted living, meant for people in the early stages of memory loss and for couples where one partner is caring for the other and they want to stay together. That's a more specific description than most communities give. Memory Support is their own term for dementia care.

Life at Boyson Heights

Named spaces include a whirlpool spa, a fitness center, a salon and barber, a community hub and library, and The Loft. There are two activity calendars, one general and one for Memory Support, plus a monthly newsletter. Scheduled transportation runs within Cedar Rapids, Marion and Hiawatha on set days, so check whether your doctor's office falls inside that area.

What Families Say About Boyson Heights

Two things come up again and again from families here: the move went more smoothly than they expected, and the updates kept coming afterward. Several describe a parent who resisted the whole idea of assisted living and then settled in within a few weeks. More than one also mentions hearing about a change from staff rather than finding out later. If a reluctant move is the part you're dreading, ask how they handle the first month.
