Arlington Place at Oelwein offers three levels of residential care—Independent Living for residents who are largely self-sufficient, Assisted Living for those who need help with daily tasks, and a dedicated Memory Care program for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Short-term respite stays are accepted, allowing family caregivers temporary relief, and the community is equipped to manage diabetes through glucose monitoring and diet oversight. A visiting speech therapist is available for residents who need help maintaining or regaining communication skills.

The campus is a secured community, an important safeguard for residents who may be at risk of wandering. On-site clinical services cover a wide range of needs, from routine medication management and nursing oversight to more specialized support such as incontinence care, ambulatory assistance, and hospice coordination. Occupational and physical therapists visit regularly, while a podiatrist, dentist, and massage therapist round out allied health services. Spaces are designed to accommodate memory loss, and the Memory Care wing operates as a stand-alone environment with staff trained for cognitive support.

Apartments feature optional kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable or satellite TV access, Wi-Fi, and wheelchair-accessible showers; some floor plans offer balconies, patios, or decks. Select units overlook landscaped outdoor areas, and common spaces include a central fireplace, piano or organ, and areas where pets are welcome. Because layouts vary, not every residence includes every listed feature, so it is best to verify specifics during a tour.

Dining follows a restaurant-style approach with meals available throughout the day. Menus accommodate low-sodium, no-sugar, gluten-free, and other physician-ordered diets, and guest meals can be arranged. International dishes appear regularly, providing variety alongside familiar favorites.

Residents have access to an activity center, clubs and peer groups, a library and computer lounge, and both indoor and outdoor walking paths. Raised garden beds support seasonal planting, and outdoor spaces are open for fresh air and recreation. Scheduled events include happy hour, live music, dances, birthday celebrations, intergenerational visits, reminiscence programs, and off-site social outings, giving residents multiple ways to stay engaged and connected.
