We want to thank each and every one of you for the love and care you had given to our mom. She always looked forward to your visits and made her feel better after you left. You also gave us the comfort to make us feel better and what to expect. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! (Sioux City)

My mother was in the memory unit. The staff took such good care of her. She felt loved by all the staff. Everyone always greets you with a warm smile and hello. I knew my mom's care was great and they always would take time to listen to your concerns and address them right away. I highly recommend Heritage for the care they give. I knew I could leave and felt comfortable in knowing my mom was in a good place.

La Porte City Specialty Care has always had a special place in my heart since my dad was there. I wanted all the residents and staff to know how much you matter to this world.

We want to thank you all for the great care you gave Mike. As he always told us, "everyone is so nice," the food is very good" and they take good care of me." It always made us feel he was in good hands. Thanks for all you do!

I would like to thank your staff on every shift at Care Initiatives - State Center for looking after my friend and neighbor. I would appreciate very much if you could let the evening and night shifts know how she is a kind and loving person and has been throughout her life. I'm thankful that she has a place to turn to in the time of her life where she needs more assistance.

We were very happy with the care Dubuque Specialty Care gave to our son, Josh, while he went through skilled nursing after being hospitalized. Their staff are very thoughtful and caring and we truly appreciate everything they did for our son during his rehabilitation. Thanks again :
