For information and application guidelines, contact Jill Grote or Taesa Bailey at 712-668-2224. 

Odebolt Nursing and Rehab Center's new 10-unit Assisted Living Facility in Odebolt is now open.  The new wing extends toward the north from the present structure.  Although the Assisted Living Unit is attached to the Nursing and Rehab section of the center, it is intended to be completely independent. 

The 8,000 square foot addition consists of two suites and eight studio rooms.  The 455 square foot suites consist of a bedroom, living/kitchenette area and bathroom, much like a small apartment.  The 388 square foot studio rooms are one-room bedroom/living area and bath.  Each room is equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, sit-down shower and other amenities.  All are handicapped-accessible. Residents may also use a commons area and a laundry room with a washer and dryer.

The new units provide needed living assistance for those who are no longer able to live independently in their own home or apartment, but are not suited for nursing home level of care.  Three meals a day are offered in the unit's own dining room.  Light housekeeping and linen service are provided weekly.

Residents pay for rent, board and services.  Additional services such as medication management, baths, dressing and extra housekeeping or laundry services can be ordered by a resident.  Care Initiatives officials said eligible residents can receive HUD assistance on rent payment sand Medicaid can help pay for extra services.

Total cost of the project, which included upgrades in the main facility, was more than $1.5 million and included the installation of a 35,000 water storage tank buried under the assisted living unit. The tank will provide water for the facility's sprinkler system.

Odebolt's Mayor, Ron Rex, is pleased that the town has this addition available to its people.  "The ONRC and its staff provide excellent care and rehabilitation, and the facility is considered a very important part of our city's infrastructure," said Rex.  "Odebolt has nearly 150 people living alone in either homes or apartments, and if I don't miss my guess, some will be moving to the assisted living portion of the ONRC."
