Thank you goes out to Care Initiatives Hospice (Sioux City) who recently helped guide my father through the final stages of his life. Your services were timely, effective, compassionate and well delivered. A special thank you goes out to Heidi and those that attended to our father's needs!

Good food. I liked it - good selection. Bingo and music OK. Therapy pushes you a little bit, because I haven't done any exercise for years. I chose to come back for outpatient because they are helping me get back to who I was. Staff is friendly.

I want to tell anyone that might have a loved one contemplating Avoca Speciality Care how impressed I have been with the care of my family member. Avoca Speciality Care is very clean and neat. All the staff have been nothing but kind and caring, and I mean exceptionally! The meals are very nutritious and tasty, and they cater to a variety of dietary needs. Activities are numerous and they help my loved one so he can interact with others.

From the moment I talked with Admissions about the possibility of (having Mom) come to Ravenwod, to the present, we have been welcomed like family. The staff made the paperwork painless; the nursing staff took over Mom's health care; and the social worker has aided me every step of the way. Thank you all for making Ravenwood home!

On behalf of all of our family, I want to thank you and all the staff for the excellent care for XXXXX during his time with you. Everyone was always so kind, loving, helpful and compassionate. We know he was well cared for. I appreciate that I was called with reports of even the littlest things concerning his care and health. We trusted all of you to give him your best.
