Continuing Care Hospital Cedar Rapids is It Still Open
HallMar Village
An inclusive senior living community for older adults & those living with chronic conditions
Mercy is partnering with Presbyterian Homes & Services — a national leader in housing and services for older adults — to create a new standard for senior living for the Cedar Rapids community. HallMar Village is being constructed on 42 acres of land in northeast Cedar Rapids, east of the C Ave. Extension and northeast of Robins Road.
When completed in fall 2023, HallMar Village will be an advanced, medically integrated community for older adults — including those living with dementia — and provide healthy living unlike other options available today. This new senior living community will provide a full range of housing and services for the rapidly growing population of older adults in the region.
HallMar Village will replace the existing Mercy Hallmar nursing home, which opened in 1960. In addition to a long-term care community, HallMar Village will also include independent living and assisted living apartments, as well as an expansive village center.

The Chris & Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging & Dementia of Mercy
A hub of research, training and education in aging and dementia
The HallMar Village community will also be connected to The Chris & Suzy DeWolf Family Innovation Center for Aging & Dementia, which will provide support to people living with dementia, care partners and families, and where best practices in aging and dementia are discovered, evaluated and piloted. Specifically, it will provide access to:
Mercy Center for Memory Health
Mercy's Center for Memory Health, which is currently housed on the hospital campus, will be relocated here to conveniently serve those living on-site, as well as extend services to the broader community. The Center for Memory Health is a source of medical evaluation and assessment for people seeking to determine whether their changing memory is a normal part of aging or a form of dementia. To make an appointment now, please call (319) 398-6435.
Healthcare Services On-Site
A geriatric medical clinic will have dedicated clinic space to provide ongoing care to residents for drop-ins and same-day acute services. Geriatric providers will also see residents in their homes, if necessary. Additionally, multi-specialty services will be available, including counseling and telehealth.
The Family Caregivers Center of Mercy
The Family Caregivers Center of Mercy will offer resources consistent with those currently provided at their 901 8th Ave. SE location, including individual caregiver visits, support groups, educational events, art, music and chair yoga. For assistance, call (319) 221-8866.
Adult Day Activities
- Will offer events and activities to bring meaning and purpose to people living with early-stage dementia
- Tailored for early-stage dementia
- Open to residents and the broader community
The Research & Training Institute
The Research & Training Institute will offer training to Mercy Medical Center and clinic staff, as well as family care partners and other care centers in the community. The Institute will include:
- An aging and dementia think tank made up of a multi-disciplinary group of experts who will stimulate, inspire and advise innovations
- Assistive technology that will offer assessment and training in the use of tools (like GPS and tracking devices; robots; reminder messaging; and monitoring devices and in-home cameras) will be featured in a variety of ways to help older adults and people living with chronic conditions, including dementia, to live as independently as possible
- A living classroom model in which students will learn from staff, residents and care partners, as well as instructors, to become personal support workers using HallMar Village as a training site
Additionally, the Institute will collaborate with area colleges and universities and include learning labs. It will also offer education and training to Mercy staff, senior living community staff, and families experiencing chronic conditions like dementia.
