Heritage Gardens Healthcare & Rehabilitation sits in Oskaloosa, KS, right in the 66066 area, not too far from the neighborhoods of Williamstown and Deerfield, and this place has a building that went up in 1976, which gives it a settled-in feeling, and you'll find independent bedrooms and bathrooms for residents who like some privacy, plus the essential shared spots like a dining room, living room, and kitchen so folks can gather and eat together or have some quiet time if that's what they like. There's a small, homey section called Restwell Home Plus with only 12 rooms, so it stays pretty personal, and all the staff here take pride in being patient, supportive, and compassionate, making sure to help each resident as much as needed while also trying to let people do things for themselves when possible because they want to help everyone stay as independent as they can. The care team follows personalized care plans, which means they look at each person's needs before coming up with a plan just for them, whether that's short-term or long-term care, and they provide rehab, special therapies, and support for those recovering from illness or surgery, so there's quite a range of care and rehabilitation options available, including memory care and programs for people who need more help with thinking and remembering. You'll also find respite care, hospice care, and palliative care for those who need different support, and families looking for comfort can count on staff to be warm and thoughtful, always focusing on the well-being and comfort of those living here. Heritage Gardens offers a state-of-the-art healthcare setup and handles discharge planning to help residents prepare for their next steps, and all of this is just a little more than somewhat walkable since the walk score is 52, and the facility sits within reach of Oskaloosa schools, so it feels part of the local community. With dedicated therapy and recovery programs, comprehensive medical services, and a commitment to personalized attention, Heritage Gardens aims to be a steady, supportive place to live or recover, and it's shaped by years of care and an ongoing focus on health, independence, and kindness.

700 Cherokee St, Oskaloosa, KS, 66066- Assisted living
- Memory care
- Skilled nursing
Compassionate staff but safety concerns
I have mixed feelings. Many nurses and staff are genuinely caring, hardworking, and the new administration has made visible improvements - large rooms, freshly painted spaces, pleasant grounds and homey meals - and residents often seem well cared for. But chronic understaffing and staffing inconsistency (night shifts, long shifts, agency use) have led to late meds, slow call responses, safety lapses (falls, bedsores, infections), and cleanliness issues (stained linens, mold in showers). In short: compassionate, dedicated staff and real progress, but significant safety, staffing, and hygiene concerns mean I'd only recommend it with caution and close supervision.
