We would like to express our gratitude to the staff of Crestview for the wonderful care that our mother received during her time with you. Even more striking that the peerless level of professionalism found at all areas of Crestivew, is the obvious culture of caring and commitment to making each resident feel special.

 I enjoy being here! The staff is hard-working, the food is good, and there are lots of activities to participate in. I knew quite a few of the staff before coming to Belle Plaine Specialty Care and have made many friends since! I enjoy enjoys in Sara’s office and visiting as I have known her since she was a little girl. The facility is “cheery” and I would recommend it to anyone!

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.

From the moment I talked with Admissions about the possibility of (having Mom) come to Ravenwod, to the present, we have been welcomed like family. The staff made the paperwork painless; the nursing staff took over Mom's health care; and the social worker has aided me every step of the way. Thank you all for making Ravenwood home!

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.
