I had four major surgeries at 2 different hospitals before going to Northcrest. Right away I met very helpful and nice people that made me feel comfortable and cared for.  They explained what they were doing and why, while making me feel at home. The people at Northcrest and Care Initiatives do really care. Hats off to all of you!

The care you have given my mother has been so appreciated! I know she was in the best hands she could be. Your thoughtfulness and care of Mom, as with any patient, takes dedication and I believe the hands of God work through you. Please know I and my family are so very thankful!

A beautiful, clean facility. Newer management that is attentive, genuinely cares about their residents, and kind. One of the few 5-star rated facilities in the area.

It is so evident to us that all of the staff at Manly [Specialty Care] are very caring people. We sincerely thank you for the help and kindness you showed Chuck, as well as his wife and son. It was such a difficult time in our lives together, but you made it much easier.

 Just wanted to tell you how much your understanding and compassion meant to us. The staff on the Memory Unity are awesome. The care provided to our mother was exceptional.

I chose Dubuque Specialty Care because it was close to my house and I knew another person who lived there. They were happy with the care they were given. The staff here treat me excellent. I was so sick when I came, my medications had me so confused that I couldn’t walk. I was falling down all the time. Today, I enjoy going to bingo, music, manicures and meeting with the residents. I enjoy the food here, especially the roast beef with onions and cheese, the desserts, fresh fruit and the coffee. The atmosphere energizes me.
