Accura HealthCare of Knoxville sits at 606 N 7th Street in Knoxville, Iowa, and it's a 75-bed skilled nursing facility that serves people who need help with daily living or are recovering from illness or surgery, and they take pride in keeping things feeling home-like and family-like, which means everyone tries to look out for each other as they go about their days. Folks here can get help with things like bathing, grooming, and taking medicine, and there are nurses and aides around all day and night, providing care for both short-term rehabilitation as well as long-term stays for those who need ongoing support, and for those looking for a place for a loved one to stay for a break-maybe just a few days to a couple of weeks-there's a respite care program designed for that purpose, giving regular caregivers time to rest.
Accura HealthCare of Knoxville provides physical, occupational, and speech therapy, working on things like building strength, balance, walking, and even special exercises for posture or safety at home, and they've included things like music therapy and activities to help folks stay active and involved, making time for social gatherings and routines that can help each day feel purposeful. If a resident needs comfort care, the staff works closely with hospice providers, and they'll help manage pain and give extra support at the end of life, making sure to address physical, psychological, nutritional, and spiritual needs, because they've always believed care shouldn't only be about medicine. There's also a focus on keeping people as independent as they can be, personalizing each care plan to what the resident can do and what they want out of daily life, so some live there for quite a while and others are just passing through after a hospital stay.
The facility offers adult out-of-home respite care, nursing services, home care, and memory care along with skilled nursing, and there's a distinct attention paid to creating social and educational activities, therapeutic recreation, and life-enriching programs that foster community, connection, and purpose, whether that's a simple group meal, a game, or a therapy session. Staff members speak English, but there's no information on other languages. Hours run Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and all hours on weekends, though there's limited detail about office hours and specialties, and no more specifics about the exact nature of amenities or services. Right now, they're not accepting new patients, but their commitment has always been about giving individualized care under the Accura HealthCare name, no matter how simple or complex those needs might be.
