Oakview Nursing Home sits at 511 E Center St in Conrad, Iowa, right in a small and friendly rural town, and when you walk in you'll notice private, spacious rooms, a clean and home-like atmosphere, and staff like Kefa Ogwankwa, a Registered Nurse and Wound Care Specialist, plus Rashaun Wilson and Theresa Mimnaugh in nursing, who all work together to care for the people living there. People here get a choice of one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments, each with a full-size kitchen and their own climate control, so residents have some comfort and privacy, and Oakview also handles snow removal, landscaping, and all the utilities, which takes some worry out of daily life.
There's an advanced personal response system so when a resident needs help, someone can respond right away, and the staff are certified professionals and licensed nurses, always on site around the clock, which means the care is steady and always there when it's needed. Oakview Home offers long-term skilled nursing care, assisted living, and several types of rehabilitation, like speech, occupational, and physical therapy, all coordinated as part of a personalized care plan that changes with what a resident needs. The community provides both short-term and long-term options, and the nursing services include wound care for those who need specialized medical attention.
Amenities at Oakview mean people can cook for themselves but also share three meals a day in a big community dining room if they want, and there's a barbershop and beauty salon right on site so a haircut or a shave isn't hard to get. Public spaces indoors and outdoors give residents places to socialize or just relax, with things like exercise areas, a laundry room, lounge, Serenity Room, and a spot for group activities, with both programs for everybody and time set aside for people who prefer activities alone. The place feels familiar, since the staff are always around, and groups of residents do things together, which helps create a sense of belonging.
Oakview Nursing Home focuses on smooth transitions into care, whether someone needs short-term rehab after a hospital stay or long-term living with memory care or continuing care options, and there's a secure environment for folks with specialized needs, including disabilities or diseases. Families and visitors are welcome, and the building directly connects to Oak Estates, making it easier for spouses and friends to visit without hassle or having to go outside, which is handy in Iowa winters. Staff members are compassionate and committed, which shows in the way they help out with daily needs, run community activities, and supervise health care in a steady way that doesn't feel rushed.
The facility partners with groups like AHCANCAL, the National Alliance, Iowa Health Care Association, Iowa Center for Assisted Living, and Iowa Center for Home Care, and you can read more or arrange a visit through their website, where they answer questions about care options, amenities, and what makes daily life comfortable at Oakview Nursing Home, a place known for keeping things simple, steady, and personal for every resident.
