Our Story

Oakwood Specialty Care is a relaxing and refreshing senior health care center that offers privacy, dedicated care in a family-like setting. Located at the edge of Albia, our residents enjoy the serene, country-like setting along with the deer, turkey and pheasant.

Our staff is highly experienced and very attentive to each of our residents, many of whom spend only a few short weeks with us while rehabilitating from illness or injury, or while on respite away from family. Other long-term residents get to know our staff and become our extended family.

Highly-trained professionals in physical therapy and occupational therapy work one-on-one with each resident using state-of-the-art therapy tools and programs striving toward the goal of increased independence, minimizing pain and eliminating other risks factors such as falling.
