Overview of Oak Park Place Dubuque

Oak Park Place Dubuque offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Dubuque, IA. Independent living provides a private home with community services but no daily care, while assisted living adds help with tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private apartment. Memory care is provided in a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and the range of care levels can accommodate changing needs over time.

Opened in 2005, the community has 64 beds with studios, one bedroom residences, and two bedroom residences. A studio offers one private living space, while a two bedroom layout can work for a couple moving together or for someone who wants a companion. Laura Brandt serves as the administrator.

A salon and spa provides grooming services within the community, and transportation gives residents an option for travel without driving themselves. Rehabilitation services are also available. Dining menus balance personal preferences with nutritional needs and use fresh, locally sourced ingredients, while pets are allowed.
