Overview of Oaknoll Assisted Living

Facebook Instagram LinkedIn

Oaknoll Assisted Living offers assisted living, independent living, and nursing care in Iowa City, Iowa. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Independent living supports private living with community services and no daily care, while nursing care provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.

Having these care levels together may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time. Care can change within the same community rather than requiring a move elsewhere. The community is in the Longfellow neighborhood and has 80 beds, with Taylor Wheeler serving as administrator.

Respite care provides a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover. Dining includes varied food venues and choices, so residents have more than one setting or option for meals. The Fitness Center offers a place to exercise within the community, and rehabilitation services are available for residents who need therapy; Dementia Live® is one of the named programs.

A Walk Score of 91 out of 100 places the area in the walker’s paradise band. Daily errands do not require a car, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently for those errands. The range of care may be a good fit for someone who wants private living now but may need daily help or nursing care later.
