Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Tipton, IA

"Oaknoll nursing home is a great nursing home in a quiet community. Located on the west side of Iowa City residents are close to the downtown area but also have a quiet living environment because they live near mostly graduate students. Iowa City is a great college town that has many activities and restaurants. There is also a Wal-mart nearby. During the tour there was a wonderful screened in porch and sun room, plus a recently added spa and movie theater. I was surprised that there was also a gym and full sized swimming pool, because I enjoy doing water aerobics and it seemed like a nice place to do them. If the transition to assisted living is necessary that service is found on site as well. The people I saw at Oaknoll seemed happy and seemed to be at least in their 60's. I'm not sure if this is where I will wind up retiring to but it is certainly a great choice. "

"I enjoyed visiting this facility. Things seemed a little outdated, very 70's colors. All of the residents seemed pleased, and my great aunt said that they had a lot of activities and things to keep them occupied. We stayed for dinner, it was Christmas, and they let us eat there with her. The dining room was nice and spacious. They had plenty of helpers around to help the elderly that had difficult feeding themselves. The food was very good, as well. The staff was all very nice, seemed very competent. All in all, it was a very nice experience, and my great Aunt seemed very satisfied with the facilities, staff and activities. All of the other residents seemed happy as well. A lot of the residents were able just to wander and meander around, talk to folks, they seemed to enjoy that a lot. I would visit again. "
