Recent reviews of Independent Living in Oakwood, IA
Homestead of Mason City
4.0

Compared to other homes in the area they are most cost effective. In regards to my other numbers 3 is average. Could do a little more activity but being a smaller size I know they are limited with staff. Overall experience has been good so far.

Parker Place in Parkersburg, IA
5.0

That they were very helpful getting him settled in when admitted. In contact with me on his likes on what to do n to keep busy, etc. I'd give a positive experience and recommend taking a look at. We picked this community, because they had a shared room price, friendly staff on tour, clean. Residents out in common areas n engaged. Fairly close to home town.

Arlington Place at Oelwein
4.9

A parent has been a resident here for over 1 year and I couldn't be happier with the place. It is a safe and beautiful facility with caring and competent staff. The family feels supported and informed, and included in decision making. There are constant opportunities for activities to enrich the lives of the residents. I see Facebook posts of my parent happily participating and it gives me great comfort. I trust the staff to guide the family in future decisions even as they recently acted as a team to determine the best setting type for my parent during the need for a change in their care.
