Oaknoll Retirement Residence offers three levels of living—Independent Living for residents who want minimal assistance, Assisted Living for those who need routine help with daily tasks, and a dedicated Memory Care program designed for individuals with cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Residents can transition between these care types if needs change, allowing couples or friends with different support requirements to remain on the same campus and eliminating the stress of relocating to a new provider.
Beyond the core living options, Oaknoll emphasizes medical continuity. Short-term Respite stays are available, and licensed professionals deliver consistent Diabetes Care and individualized Physical Therapy programs. An emergency call system links residents to staff around the clock, while on-site services include nursing oversight, occupational and speech therapy, stroke and ambulatory care, podiatry, dental visits, incontinence support, hospice coordination, and ongoing resident or family counseling. Because the community offers continuing care, residents have access to increasing levels of support without leaving the property.
Apartments range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger floor plans, each with wall-to-wall carpeting, window treatments, cable TV, Wi-Fi, and basic utilities included. Select units add washers and dryers, while others rely on communal laundry and housekeeping services; not every residence features every upgrade. Outdoor areas, landscaped grounds, and an on-site garden provide places to walk pets or simply enjoy fresh air, and reserved parking is available for those who still drive.
Three daily meals are prepared on site, with attention to balanced nutrition and individual dietary needs. Residents dine in shared spaces that encourage conversation, and staff accommodate modified textures or physician-ordered restrictions when required. Meal service is built into the monthly fee, sparing residents the logistics of grocery shopping and meal preparation.
For recreation, Oaknoll maintains an activity center that hosts structured clubs and community gatherings, yoga sessions, wellness programs, live entertainment, arts and crafts workshops, TV and movie nights, and scheduled social outings into Iowa City and surrounding areas. These offerings provide residents with a variety of options to stay mentally, physically, and socially engaged.
