I never even got the chance to visit here myself because in the short time my grandpa was here he he was treated so badly he was sent in an ambulance to the er full of infection due to not changing a clogged catheter for over 3 days. He had zero output for 3 days and no one blinked an eye at it. He was still healing from a fall and his body was not able to fight off this infection and he has since passed. No justice for him has been found. Do not send your family here.

Staffing was horrible, had a call that my mom was slightly lethargic we went up to check on her she was on the verge of unresponsive, I told them to call the ambulance, was told we would have to pay for it because they didn't think she needed a ambulance. Her blood sugar was 600, we asked to see her charts, was told there was no one on staff that knew how to pull them up,no RN on staff after 4, this was 6 in the evening when this happened. I asked to talk to Tina,the director, was told she didn't come in …

I chose the Oskaloosa Care Center for my father and our experience is really good. They have a nursing home, I didn’t care for it that much.

Nothing is store-bought, everything is home-made and cooked so the food is excellent. They keep everybody busy, they shower them twice a week, so it’s good and I’m really happy with…

I have been here for skilled care and therapy for over a month and find the care excellent. The staff and kitchen are to be commended for the care and kindness given residents. The therapists are great and push at you to strive to improve.

I visited this facility

It's the best care center in oskaloosa as far as that goes. I have been visiting there every year for the past 4 years. This year I felt very uncomfortable being there. The care has gone downhill. The care givers attitudes are terrible. They blame shortage of help. When you take this kind of job, patient care should be #1. They should know what they signed up for. This job needs compassionate friendly caring people.These patients are so vulnerable. I saw care givers shoveling huge amounts of food in their mout…

I visited this facility

I came from out of town to visit my family at Oskaloosa Care Center and was very impressed with how well the staff and management of the facility treated me and my family. It was nice to meet them face to face because I was only able to communicate with the facility on the phone. The administrator walked me down to my families room and was very professional and welcoming to the facility. I have been in a lot of nursing homes and you would of never know the administrator let along have them take the time with us. TH…
