IOOF Home and Community Therapy Center

IOOF Home and Community Therapy Center sits on the southeast side of the 19th Street Overpass in Mason City, Iowa, where folks have counted on this landmark for care since 1903, which goes back to its roots with the Odd Fellows looking out for their neighbors, and you'll find they offer a wide range of services from long-term skilled nursing and short-term stays, to specialized memory care with two different memory care units, one being smaller and quieter for those using walkers or wheelchairs and another homelike secure area for residents who like to move about. They have an activities coordinator named Troy who makes sure there's always something going on, and the staff takes pride in making this a place where people really can make new friends and memories, not just pass the time, and the nursing suites are set up with all the usual comforts so it doesn't feel like an institution. There's certified Parkinson's therapy, both inpatient and outpatient therapy programs tailored for all sorts of needs, like pain management, stroke recovery, arthritis, heart health, neuropathy, and carpel tunnel, and the therapy team uses Accelerated Care Plus, which is the latest equipment for more personalized rehab. Folks here get 24-hour nursing care, health and medication monitoring, nutritional and diet support, and if you want a late-night snack or a special meal, the kitchen offers a 24/7 menu with customizable meals. The staff tries to help each resident keep or regain their routines and skills after illnesses or accidents, focusing on what each person can do and what they want from daily life, and family members can count on regular updates. As a part of the IOOF Home and Community Therapy Center, the community's mission really centers on home-like care and steady support, always trying to be innovative in the ways they serve North Iowa, and you'll see that history and community remain at the heart of the place.
