Keosauqua Health Care Center

Keosauqua Health Care Center follows a "Residents First" approach, so they focus on privacy, dignity, and respect for everyone living there, and while they do have a skilled nursing facility with both long-term care and short-term rehab, their nursing home has a 2-star rating from Medicare and Medicaid, which isn't high, but the community's own average rating sits at 8.7 out of 10, making it the highest in the city. The staff try to meet each resident's needs as they change, whether that means moving to skilled nursing, needing memory care, or taking part in respite or rehabilitation, and they also offer hospice for those needing comfort near the end of life, saying their team is trained to give emotional and practical help. The building has studio rooms, private dining areas, and lounge spaces, so there's room to gather or have some quiet, and the place is equipped with a gym plus a team who can help with physical, occupational, and speech therapy, aiming to get people back to health and home if possible. Skilled nursing care runs day and night, and for those with memory loss, there's a secure memory care unit focused on safety and respect. Their care runs from short-term rehab to long-term support, and they also help folks with senior life solutions and provide community-based services. Keosauqua Health Care Center works with several insurance providers, including UnitedHealthcare, Wellmark, Medicare, Medicaid, Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and it's also the only one in a 50-mile area to take Humana insurance, which might be helpful for some families, plus the center is part of the Southeast Iowa Long-Term Care Network, so they've got connections across the region. There's a holistic, restorative approach to their care model, and while there isn't a lot of extra information provided, their setup promises a range of supports for different needs, and the facility does its best to keep routines and programs straightforward for residents.
