English Valley Care Center in North English, Iowa, offers several levels of care with skilled nursing, long-term care, and assisted living services, and you'll find licensed nurses like RNs, LPNs, and CNAs on staff around the clock to help with whatever you might need, including common things like daily medications, baths, dressing, or more complex health needs like diabetic care and incontinence management, all within a safe environment where the staff keeps an eye out for everyone. The center has private, semi-private, and suite accommodations, and people can join organized resident groups or take part in daily activities, both on-site or even offsite, plus some enjoy gardening or using the picnic backyard, and you'll see staff making sure laundry, housecleaning, and meals are all taken care of, which many find helps things feel pretty home-like.
Medical and support services hit a wide range and you can expect services from physician extenders, regular wellness checks, dental care, podiatric services, pharmacy access, and mental health care, with weekly support coming from physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech pathologists for anyone needing those therapies, and there's also help from social workers as people's needs shift, because care plans are made just for each resident by a team of nursing and social work professionals after a functional assessment. The center has 60 certified beds, though 44 are staffed beds, and regular inspections show low health deficiencies-just one was noted at the last visit-plus all required areas have automatic sprinkler systems for safety, and you'll see safety and accessibility features throughout the building.
Amenities like utilities in rent, indoor and outdoor common areas, devotional activities, and plenty of chances for residents and their families to be involved through councils help life stay social, while Valley View Assisted Living, which is part of the same community, offers extra support for those who are more independent but might still need help now and then, with services like respite care available too. Nurse staffing keeps up above expectations, with RN coverage getting the highest possible score-people get about 3.3 nurse hours a day, plus a little over an hour per day from RNs, which is more than expected-and the facility holds high scores in quality, overall rating, and health inspections. The place accepts Medicare and Medicaid, and the team says they aim to keep costs down while holding up service quality.
Special programs, memory care, and a mix of therapy services help meet changing needs, and you'll notice accessible living, clear wellness activities, and an effort to build a supportive, caring community that values both health care and quality of daily life.
