On With Life in Ankeny, Iowa, operates as a skilled nursing facility that centers its clinical program on rehabilitation. Residents have access to a structured Rehabilitation Program that incorporates individualized Physical Therapy aimed at restoring mobility, strength, and daily living skills after illness or injury. Therapy is delivered on-site, allowing residents to receive consistent clinical oversight without leaving the building.

Around-the-clock staffing is supported by an Emergency Call System installed throughout resident areas, giving individuals an immediate way to summon help at any hour. This prompt access to assistance helps clinical staff respond quickly to falls, medical changes, or requests for routine support, reinforcing a secure environment for residents undergoing therapy or long-term nursing care.

Private and semi-private rooms are available, and some have direct access to outdoor areas or views of the landscaped outdoor garden. Because room layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents may want to verify which options meet their preferences for space and garden access.

Three meals a day are provided, prepared to meet general nutritional guidelines for older adults and those in rehabilitation. Menu adaptations for common therapeutic diets can be arranged, but not all dining rooms have the same service style, so confirming meal choices and dining times in advance is advisable.

Beyond clinical care and basic services, residents can use an activity center that hosts organized clubs and community groups, arts and crafts sessions, yoga classes, and broader health and wellness programs. A library and computer lounge offers space for reading, internet use, and informal socializing, contributing to cognitive engagement alongside physical rehabilitation.
