My mother had to go to Westwood Specialty Care (in Sioux City) because of a stroke. I am very impressed with the kind and professional staff at Westwood. Their speech therapy department is the best of the best. After only a few weeks, she is speaking coherent sentences. I am very happy with Westwood Specialty Care and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a safe and well run facility.

Thank you for the great care (at Pinnacle). I was a tough guy to work with and you people showed amazing patience.

Mom entered Sibley Specialty Care under the care of Care Initiatives Hospice. She was only there a week but we cannot express enough how wonderful the care was from both Sibley's staff and the Hospice staff. Our family so appreciated the gentleness and caring shown to our Mom.

Thank you for supporting our mother’s 100th birthday party “at her home”. Everything went smoothly all afternoon – which was made possible by Jodi. I cannot say enough positives about her for this day – but also for her weekly program.

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.

Just want to say "thank you" and to pass it along to the nurses for all you do for my son, John, and the other residents! Your compassion and hard work is very much appreciated!
Happy Nurses Week!
