A Helping Hand, A Caring Heart

Long-term and short-term care options are available for individuals who need more assistance than an at-home caregiver can provide. As the largest non-profit senior health care provider in Iowa, we take our jobs very seriously and are committed to providing friendly and professional skilled nursing care.

If you or a loved one has recently experienced a hospital stay and requires short-term care to recover, our skilled nursing care is tailored to meet individual rehabilitation needs. Our skilled nursing care involves a range of services, including speech, physical and occupational therapy. The goal for this level of care is to be able to return home to an active and independent lifestyle.
