Dial Retirement Communities, Iowa City, Iowa, has laid out plans to add 20 nursing facility beds to its Legacy Gardens Retirement Community. The $2.5 million private expansion targets the facility at 1020 S. Scott Blvd in Iowa City, Iowa. Government officials received a Certificate of Need application in late July 2019. Certificate of Need is a state-level approval process that controls the number of health care facilities in a region. It is separate from the city and county approval process. Dial Retirement Communities has not yet decided on architects and contractors, and no start date has been established.
