Overall pleased with the care my grandfather recieved. He wasn't there long, but I'm convinced he went peacefully. My grandfather was there from the middle of October to the middle of November before he passed away from his illnesses. The staff were really supportive with the emotional rollercoaster experience this was!!!! So thank you from the N******* F**** family ?

We would like to thank all for giving Betty the fine care and tender love. We know she enjoyed and liked all of you. Your staff went out of their way to give that extra care, gentle love and support. You welcomed our family and made us feel at ease. We can't tell you enough - Thank you for all you do and the love you give.

Atlantic Specialty Care

I spent three weeks in the rehab wing of NorthCrest after major surgery. I could not be more complimentary of the wonderful staff and care I received. Every staff person made me feel that my recovery was their primary goal. I never comment on public postings but feel I must in this case. Waterloo is fortunate to have this facility.

Thank you (Greenfield) so much for the beautiful candle. Everything happened so fast. Had you spent time with Mom you would have enjoyed her sparkling personality. We applaud you for all that you do. We are so fortunate to have such compassion at our fingertips. Thanks again!

Hospice Care

This is one of the finest places, and it is as close to home as I could get. The staff here is outstanding. They appreciate my wife and me. The food is wonderful and the housekeeping is outstanding. Their care for myself and the other residents can't be beat. The office staff and nurses are very considerate at all times

Heritage Specialty Care

After my husband passed, I caught Covid and I was having falls. It was hard for me to see the light at the end of the tunnel. After working with the therapy team, I am finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and now I am able to go back home. All of the staff have been excellent. If it hadn’t been for the therapy staff, I don’t think I would have made it through.
