    Since my experience several months back, all of the staff in wapello have went above and beyond to ensure a more positive experience for nor only my son but myself as well. I am happy we have gotten the opportunity to learn each other and for the sake of my dear son everyone has taken great lengths to make a better and happier environment. I'm proud to be a part of the community and wapello care, and I just want to say thank you for taking the steps to make everyone feel welcome. Good job staff God Bless

    I have served many hours as a volunteer at WSC and seen the staff demonstrate great professional care and compassion. One family member told me this home has shown much more care for her loved one here than other homes she had tried.
