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 :

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've enjoyed the time spent here with you and getting to know everyone. We appreciate the TLC the staff has given Charley which made his stay so comfortable.

Forget all the stereotypes of nursing homes - this place rocks! The food is good, everything is spic and span, concern for safety and infection control - no shortcuts. Every single encounter with ever staff was caring, competent, compassionate. The therapist treated us (family members) like we were part of the team and was interested in our success. God bless them!

I cannot possibly thank all those who took good care of (my wife). You not only looked after her but you were aware of my needs and helped me through a very trying time.
