You and your staff are to be commended for the job of taking care of (Mom). Everyone went above and beyond the call of duty. You all made me and my family feel very welcomed and comfortable. Saying thank you just doesn't seem enough, but it's what we have.

Belle Plaine Specialty Care

The nursing team is amazing and so VERY compassionate to residents and their families. The administration staff is helpful, kind and truly genuine in their desire to help families and their loved ones. I never considered any of the staff as my co-workers...they are my friends and I loved working with them all.

We would like to thank all for giving Betty the fine care and tender love. We know she enjoyed and liked all of you. Your staff went out of their way to give that extra care, gentle love and support. You welcomed our family and made us feel at ease. We can't tell you enough - Thank you for all you do and the love you give.

(Greenfield) The care that was given to my father was the very best. From all of the staff - from housekeeping, nursing and the kitchen - he lacked for nothing. His special diet needs were met, his inability to walk and his health issues were dealt with professionally and great deal of care. I cannot thank Care Initiatives enough.

Southern Hills Specialty Care

Thank you for your dedication and the crae that you give to all. Thank for working so hard to keep everyone safe during this crazy epidemic. We can't thank you enough for all that you do for my mother. Many of you have known her for a long time and for some it has been over 10 years. Living so far away in Michigan has meant our visites are never often enough, and now it is unknown when we can come again. Please know that you are in our prayers, and we appreciation you all so much.

Your loving kindess to my mom is so appreciated. Your kind and fun stories about her are cherished! I have been watching the compassionate care of all patients for 5 ½ years. It is truly a gift of God. You are a very personal staff and for that we are grateful.
