Mercyone Oelwein Senior Care

MercyOne Oelwein Senior Care sits at 201 8th Ave SE in Oelwein, Iowa, and offers senior living and medical services around the clock, seven days a week, with 25 beds in a critical access setting, and the building connects to the MercyOne healthcare network so you get care for daily needs like bathing or dressing, help with medication, incontinence, and diabetes care, plus you'll get skilled nursing, memory care, independent living, assisted living, and continuing care retirement community (CCRC) options, all focused on older adults who need a safe place with staff always close by to respond quickly through a 24-hour call system. There's a dining room where chefs and meal planners serve up nutritious meals, including options for allergies or diabetes, and you'll get housekeeping, laundry, and furnished rooms, with telephone access and move-in help to make settling in a bit easier, and the place offers common rooms, an arts room, walking paths, a garden, telephone use, a café, movie nights, and barber or salon services, as well as organized and resident-led activities, devotional gatherings, and offsite events so you can stay busy or meet others if you want, and with nearby pharmacies, parks, and health services in the same neighborhood, you won't have to go far for errands or appointments. MercyOne Oelwein Senior Care also provides cardiac and pulmonology rehab, heart care, family medicine, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, laboratory work, emergency and urgent care, imaging, and other primary care, so you don't have to travel for most medical needs, and families can feel better knowing Medicare and Medicaid are accepted. You won't see telehealth services here, but you do get in-person support from staff, who focus on the health, safety, and wellness of each resident, all in a community that's been recognized for quality by The Chartis Center for Rural Health, and, even though it doesn't hold outside accreditation, it's received state and joint commission recognition, and many people like that it stays open Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM for outside visitors or business, but the care team is always on duty. This community tries to help seniors live safely and comfortably, tailoring care as needs change, and all the activity options and amenities help folks stay active and engaged every day.
