About Oakwood Village

Oakwood Village is a faith-based, locally operated, not-for-profit retirement community with two campuses in beautiful Madison, Wisconsin.

We’re not your typical retirement community. Our two campuses both offer a full continuum of care – skilled nursing, memory care, assisted living and apartment homes – and sit on over 50 acres, and are home to a nine-acre nature preserve, large community gardens and beautiful landscaped courtyards. We’re worth a visit.

At Oakwood, we put people above everything else. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate where you’re at in life. We encourage our staff to build relationships with the residents we care for, the families we serve, and with one another. To learn a bit more about how our residents feel about our community, watch this short video.

We believe we’re the very best at what we do in Madison. But don’t take our word for it. Readers of Madison Magazine consistently name us “Best Retirement Community” in Madison and “Best Assisted Living Facility.”

As we prepare to celebrate 75 years of service, we’re only getting better. Our new, state of the art skilled nursing and rehabilitation center is scheduled to open in 2023. We are growing to better serve our residents, as we seek nurses looking for an exciting opportunity to help us start our new home health program and hospice program. Join us!
