Woodland Hills Lutheran Homes in Muscatine operates as a continuing care retirement community, allowing residents to remain on one campus even as their health needs change. Short-term respite care is available for individuals who need temporary support after a hospital stay or when a primary caregiver is unavailable. The community coordinates routine health monitoring, medication management, and rehabilitation services through on-site licensed professionals and visiting specialists, providing residents and their families with a predictable plan for ongoing medical oversight.

The residence is equipped with an emergency call system that links each apartment to staff who are on duty around the clock. Response protocols focus on quick assessment and coordination with outside medical services when necessary. Regular safety checks, care plan reviews, and coordination with physicians help maintain consistency of treatment. By combining these safeguards with scheduled wellness assessments, the team aims to reduce unplanned hospital visits and promote stability for residents with chronic conditions.

Accommodations at Woodland Hills Lutheran Homes include studio and efficiency apartments designed for single residents or couples who prefer a smaller footprint. Each unit is wired for cable TV and Wi-Fi, and many—though not all—have an in-unit washer and dryer. Housekeeping and linen services are provided on a recurring schedule. Outdoor areas and landscaped grounds are accessible for walking or casual recreation, giving residents space to spend time outside without leaving campus.

Meals are provided three times daily in the community dining room. Menus are built to align with general nutritional guidelines for older adults, and the kitchen staff can adjust portions or ingredients for common dietary restrictions when requested. Residents who prefer to take a meal in their apartment may arrange tray service, although most choose the communal setting to stay engaged with neighbors.

Recreational amenities include an activity center for group events, a library and computer lounge for reading or internet use, organized clubs and interest groups, and scheduled social outings to local attractions. These programs are structured to encourage regular participation and help residents maintain cognitive and social engagement.
