Wheatland Manor

Wheatland Manor sits quietly on the edge of Wheatland, Iowa, right at 316 E Lincolnway Street, and you'll see big trees around it and a new look thanks to a recent $2 million addition that really gave the place brighter spaces, so there's a bright dining room now and even a comfortable lounge area with a big 60-inch TV and fireplace where people like to gather, and all 44 beds are in private rooms that have good-sized closets and updated furniture with flat-screen TVs and views of the nearby landscape, which the residents appreciate. This place connects with Lincolnway Villa, which provides assisted living too, so folks can pick different types of care depending on how much help they might need, with assisted living focusing on independence and long-term care for more help if needed, and both offer things like daily activities, therapy services through Millennium Therapy that cover physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and they keep a pretty strong focus on letting everyone in the building reach their best independence and quality of life, so a lot of effort goes into things like life enrichment programs and all-day dining, which makes mealtime easier for different schedules. Residents get housekeeping and laundry done for them, and there's help with meals, nutrition, and hydration, plus access to beauty and barber shop services right on site, and if family comes to visit for a big gathering, there are spaces folks can use. There's a safe, lighted courtyard outside where people can stretch their legs or sit, and if someone wants to smoke, they're allowed in certain areas that are set aside for it. There's free Wi-Fi, which is good for those who like to keep in touch or watch something on the internet, even though sometimes you might run into issues accessing certain sites like Facebook depending on the browser, but the facility does have a Facebook page and a full website where more details about amenities and services can be found. For comfort, there's a whirlpool spa with a TV, a therapy room with up-to-date equipment, and in-room TVs, and all spaces are filled with as much natural light as possible, which helps brighten the mood. Folks here get spiritual services too, along with support for health care needs and daily living tasks, whether they're in for short-term rehab after a hospital stay or planning to stay longer, and the place truly tries to run with kindness, compassion, and practical support. Wheatland Manor has earned a 5-star rating from CMS for skilled nursing care and focuses on making the surroundings comfortable and safe, so the unique mix of private spaces, programs, and attention to "everyday living" tends to stand out in its quiet, straightforward way.
