For All of Life's Health Transitions

   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.

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.

We would like to acknowledge and thank the associates of LaPorte City Specialty Care.  Our mother was lovingly cared for while a resident there.  LaPorte City Specialty Care  concern for their residents was evident by quality care, a personable-friendly greeting and warm touch.  Due to State of IA directives (to keep residents safe) we were kept at a distance while visiting mom.  It was hard for us not to give mom a hug but we took great comfort knowing she was receiving those loving and warm touches from staff.

We will be forever grateful for the care provided to mom.  To the associates from housekeeping, dietary, maintenance, nursing aides, nurses, social workers and administration we thank you all. Your kind words and care do not go unnoticed.  Blessings to you all.  

Everyone was welcoming and very sincere. The department was very nice in every way.

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! 

Your loving kindess to my mom is so appreciated. Your kind and fun stories about her are cherished! I have been watching the compassionate care of all patients for 5 ½ years. It is truly a gift of God. You are a very personal staff and for that we are grateful.

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.

To all the workers from Care Initiatives Hospice - Greenfield from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. Your calls seemed to come when I needed them most. You showed love with your ever visit. Thank you.
