Oakwood Care Center in Clear Lake, IA functions as a nursing-home community that serves both long-term residents and individuals recovering from illness or surgery. On-site medical support includes regular physician visits, diabetes monitoring and treatment, speech therapy sessions, and the availability of respite or other short-term stays when caregivers need temporary relief.
Beyond direct medical services, the center provides 24-hour licensed nursing supervision, medication management, vital-sign tracking, and coordination with hospitals or specialists to keep each resident’s care plan current. This approach supports safe transitions between hospital, facility, and home and helps reduce avoidable rehospitalizations.
Living quarters at this assisted-living facility include a mix of private and shared rooms with basic utilities in place. Select accommodations offer wheelchair-accessible showers, convenient parking access, and direct entry to outdoor areas, but not all rooms have every one of these features.
Three nutritionally balanced meals are prepared daily and served in a communal setting, with staff available to assist residents who need help eating or who require modified textures. Vegetarian selections are always an option, and dietitians collaborate with nursing staff to align menus with individual medical and dietary requirements.
Recreational amenities feature an activity center for group programs, resident clubs and community gatherings, scheduled outings around town, and opportunities to spend time outdoors on the grounds. Golf outings are arranged at nearby courses for those who wish to participate, and regular social events help residents stay engaged with peers and the broader Clear Lake community.
