Family Stories

Dan was a resident from January, 2013, until June 11, 2016. He received wonderful care throughout that time, as did his wife who passed in December, 2013. Dan transitioned to the care under Care Initiatives Hospice in April, 2016. As his family, we were thoroughly impressed by the extraordinary, compassionate care provided by your entire team for Dan as well as for us. We thank all of you for what you do with such grace.

I happened to have worked there, great teamwork, well organised working area, and experienced co workers.

...thanks again for all your team did for (my mom) while she was there.  I'm so grateful that she was well cared for and has a very good taste in her mouth about her experience.  She even liked the food!  Her care team of nurses, aides, therapy, and such all treated her very well.

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.

Everyone was so kind to our mother and to all of us while she was a resident. We really appreciate all of the support you have given us. Thank you so much!

We wanted to thank you so much for the care that you gave Ted L. in the last months of his life. Everyone was so caring and helpful. We really appreciate all you did to make him more comfortable.

Thanks to each of you for your love, respect and excellent care you give to all of us residents. During the difficult time of being so dependent, I felt your kindness. There was also the pleasure of wonderful food and varied activities. Thank you so much. 

Excellent place to work! Caring staff always striving to go above and beyond!

Thank you for the pretty flowers and the care of our loved one. We appreciate the affection you gave to Mom and the patience with our family at the time of need.

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'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. 

Thank you for the excellent care I received. I made my stay wonderful! A lot of hard by all employees made the rehab stay see like a vacation to ! Special people work there! 

We thank all of you who work together to provide such a great place for our dad. We observe your kind, respectful and patient interactions with your resident and their families. Thank you for doing it so well! 

A very special thank you to the staff and residents at Valley View Specialty Care. I'm so grateful you were able to be a part of our lives the past seven years. Thank you for all the special love and care. You welcomed me each day when I walked through the door. You so often went above and beyond to care not only for XXXXX, but in so many ways, for me as well. You truly became my family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
