Arlington Place of Oelwein

Arlington Place of Oelwein had a very nice setup. It's roomier than the other place, but their hallways were shorter. It seemed more spacious yet more compact. It's not so spread out. Their studio apartments were nice. There was a little kitchenette, no stove or anything, but they had a refrigerator, microwave, and countertop. The staff was very nice and very welcoming. You can have a hairstylist come in whenever. They have their own salon there and physical therapy onsite. What I liked about it is there's a walking trail right out the front door pretty much, and if I wanted to go pick Mom up and take her for a walk, they had a nice paved trail to go on.

Oelwein Granddaughter

This facility is wonderful for families. They are very caring and compassionate. My grandmother spent a considerable amount of time there and my grandfather was able to be with her most of the time. After being married for 60 years they didn't want to be apart but he didn't need the extra care. They cared for both of them like family. The facility itself is not very homey, more institutional but I never worried about her care. The staff was the best. My grandmother never wanted for anything, was always kept clean and well looked after. My grandfather was seen to by the staff as well when they weren't obligated to do. They fed him and helped him with some issues that the family who lives so far away weren't able to.My overall impression of this facility was they are a great place for really good care. If you are looking for a homey facility this is unfortunately not it. We were more concerned with her physical needs being met and my grandfather being close by. Both of those were great.
