Oak Park Estates AL & Memory Care

Oak Park Estates AL & Memory Care is an intimate 16-bedroom assisted living community at 3212 Greenhill Circle in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Co-founded and administered by Michelle Rasbeck, RN, the facility is certified as a dementia-specific program serving Black Hawk County with a focus on personalized, small-scale memory care. The campus emphasizes a home-like environment where residents step directly from private rooms into shared social spaces to encourage interaction and reduce confusion.

State oversight from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing confirms the facility holds an active dementia-specific license through July 2026. While public databases currently show limited historical inspection data, the community reports maintaining a fully secured building with keypad access controlled exclusively by staff to prevent wandering. The 24-hour care model operates with approximately three staff members per shift and a full-time nurse on-site during business hours to oversee clinical needs. All-inclusive monthly rent is reported to start near $4,710, though specific care levels may impact final pricing.

Professional care is guided by a leadership team with 17 years of healthcare experience, focusing on high-acuity memory support and hospice coordination. The facility maintains a staffing model that includes personal care assistants and nurses who utilize a monitoring system to track resident movement within the short, easy-to-navigate hallways. Residents have access to specialized dementia training for all caregivers, alongside medication management and pharmacy services coordinated on-location. Clinical partnerships with Sartori Memorial Hospital and UnityPoint Health – Allen Hospital facilitate medical transfers when advanced care becomes necessary.

The campus environment features a professional kitchen led by a chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu, focusing on nutritious, home-cooked meals tailored to resident preferences. Common areas are equipped with cable TV and Wi-Fi, while outdoor amenities include fenced walking paths and a backyard designed for residents and their pets. Resident life includes two daily organized activities ranging from music performances to crafting, and the kitchen accommodates various dietary needs such as diabetic, kosher, and low-sodium plans. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and group outings, while on-site salon services and companion care assist with daily living tasks.

Families and prospective individuals should evaluate the current staff-to-resident ratios and nighttime safety protocols during an on-site visit. It is advisable to ask the director for specific details on the transition process for new residents and to verify that the all-inclusive fee structure covers the resident’s specific 2026 clinical requirements.
