Overview of Apple Valley Place

Facebook

Apple Valley Place is a 78-bed assisted living facility at 300 Lyndale Street in Osage, Iowa. Administered by Chelsea Wogstad, the community serves Mitchell County under license S0283, which remains active through September 4, 2026. The facility maintains a 65% occupancy rate with 51 of 78 beds filled, demonstrating stable community demand. The location holds a Walk Score of 64, indicating that some nearby amenities are accessible on foot.

State-level monitoring through the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing highlights a record of significant recent improvement. Since 2004, the community has undergone 13 inspections resulting in 29 total deficiencies, an annual average of 1.3 which is 34% below the state average. Notably, both the May 2025 complaint investigation and the October 2025 recertification resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. These clean results follow a period of non-compliance in late 2023 and early 2024, where 25 combined deficiencies were cited for medication errors, failed emergency response protocols, and non-functional door alarms.

Clinical services at this 17-year-old campus include assisted living, memory care, and respite care. While recent inspections indicate corrective actions have been successful, the 2023–2024 records documented instances of medication administration by unqualified personnel and missing nurse delegation training. The facility currently operates on a private-pay basis, providing furnished resident rooms and medication management support. Historical data shows the community also maintained clean recertification surveys in 2017, 2019, and 2021 before the recent fluctuations in compliance.

The residential environment features cozy common areas and dedicated outdoor seating for residents. The campus maintains standard business hours and focuses on providing individualized support within a memory care setting. Although past evaluations highlighted unsafe food temperature practices and incomplete evaluations, the dramatic shift to zero findings in 2025 reflects a comprehensive management response to regulatory feedback.

Individuals evaluating this community should note the successful resolution of previous medication management and safety documentation issues. It is advisable to verify that the emergency pendant system and dementia unit door alarms are fully functional during an on-site visit. Families can contact the administrative office to confirm current staffing credentials and discuss the sustainability of their 2025 compliance performance as they plan for care in 2026.
