At Red Oak Rehab and Care Center, care feels like home. As a family-owned and operated community in rural southwest Iowa—just 40 miles southeast of Council Bluffs and Omaha—we provide high-quality transitional and long-term skilled nursing in a comfortable, residential setting. Our dedicated staff, many of whom have been with us for years, create a sense of stability, familiarity, and trust that families value.

Located in a peaceful setting in Red Oak, our community offers a welcoming environment designed to support healing, comfort, and connection. Residents enjoy the quiet of a small-town atmosphere while benefiting from convenient access to Montgomery County Memorial Hospital and Shenandoah Medical Center, ensuring continuity of care when it’s needed.

At Red Oak, we are guided by a commitment to serve with compassion and purpose. Rooted in respect, dignity, and kindness, our team is here to support each resident’s journey—whether recovering after a hospital stay or transitioning to long-term care in a place that truly feels like home.
