Fort Dodge Villa Care Center sits in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and provides nursing home care, assisted living, dementia care, memory care, and short-term respite care for seniors, and it's connected with Villa Cottages just next door, offering more assisted living options so families with different needs can stay close by, and there's a steady focus on making things comfortable and maintaining dignity, even as the center operates under tough conditions like a court-appointed receivership and being in a state-managed shutdown process. The center's got 61 residents as of the last update, with meals every day made to meet nutritional needs, and rooms come either private or semiprivate, each with cable TV, phones, Wi-Fi, and a call system at the bedside for nurse help, which gives both independence and peace of mind. Folks at Fort Dodge Villa Care Center get access to skilled nurses 24/7, pharmacy services, medication management, and a mix of physical, occupational, and speech therapies, all covered by trained staff who keep a close eye on every resident, and, even now, there are rehabilitation therapies on-site for recovery from hospital stays, surgeries, or injuries, along with care options for hospice and end-of-life needs. The place runs regular outings, parties, games, and exercise groups, plus activities like reading with school kids and participating in Fort Dodge community programs, making sure residents have a chance to stay social, while church services and on-site beauty and barber care are also offered each week. Families wanting to know what it's like can use an online form to see verified reviews, honest ratings, and more information about services, since there's strict privacy enforcement in place and reviews get checked to make sure they come from real families. The advisory team can help answer questions Monday through Friday from early morning until the evening, with shorter weekend hours, and there's a strong focus on helping families find the best fit based on their situation, because the management behind Fort Dodge Villa has experience running healthcare centers across Iowa, though financial challenges and state oversight have meant many changes lately, including an ongoing relocation plan for current residents as the facility winds down operations. Fort Dodge Villa Care Center, also known as Webster Post Acute Rehabilitation and QHC Fort Dodge, keeps its doors open as long as required by state rules, provides various services like podiatry, dental, companion care, and even senior transportation, always aiming to help seniors live as well as possible despite the recent difficulties and changes.

Compassionate staff unsafe management issues
I had a mixed experience: several staff - especially Jessica, some CNAs, nurses and the PT team - were compassionate and skilled, with good meals and a pleasant social program. However the building felt outdated and unclean, office/administration were unprofessional and hard to reach, and care was inconsistent (missed meds, slow bathroom help, some CNAs clueless or refusing tasks, no space for belongings). Because of those safety and management concerns, I cannot recommend this facility.
