Family Stories

We can not thank you enough for all you did for XXXXX and our family. You are amazing, caring and thoughtful in all you do. 

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!

I would like to comment on the excellent care we received from (Care Initiatives Hospice - Greenfield) Melissa, Becky and Lori. Becky listened to people and took her time and did not rush even though she had many miles to go before calling it a day. I have nothing but praise for the people who do this work. Keep up the good work and God's blessings upon you.

Very caring and well educated about their specialty! (Cedar Falls/Waterloo)

I want to thank the entire staff (Greenfield Hospice) for all of their amazing help with my mom during her final days. It is an organization and people like you that restore my faith in humanity. God bless you all. 

Care Initiatives Hospice - Greenfield  - Thank you so much for being involved in our father's last days. Everyone was so awesome in guiding us through making his and our days more tolerable. Your kindness was very much appreciated. 

   If you should ever have to go through a terrible time as we did, please remember Ridgewood and Care Initiatives Hospice - Albia. You will never be alone.

I am writing this letter to express my gratitude and to recognize Mechanicsville Specialty Care in Mechanicsville, IA, one of your Care Initiative care centers. My mother has been a resident there for over 9-1/2 years. She has Alzheimer's and is currently on hospice care. 
The staff is not only professional and skilled, they are caring, patient and compassionate. They give their smiles freely and can calm and reassure my mother in her confusion and anxiety. When I have visited her through the window (since COVID) I have seen my mother look up at a staff member with the look of a child seeking guidance and direction and I am convinced they are her family. The staff has changed in those 9-1/2 years but I have come to know many of them very well and they are part of my family too. 
Everyone ... are to be highly commended for their dedication in the past and heroic efforts during the COVID 19 Pandemic! I also recognize and praise the entire Care Initiative Hospice team. How reassuring it is that I can trust they are caring for and protecting my mother in such a loving way. Isn't that what anyone would want for their loved one?
