At Care Initiatives, we stand with those impacted by breast cancer and honor the importance of education, prevention, and hope. Early detection saves lives—regular screenings and awareness make a difference. 💗

This October, let’s come together to raise awareness, support those fighting, celebrate survivors, and remember loved ones. Prevention, early detection, and community support are powerful tools in the fight against breast cancer.

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.
