Assisted Living Communities in Sheffield, IA

"My mom moved into Apple Valley in May, 2024. The staff is wonderful. The food is delicious and my mom enjoys all the activities."

"We're going with this community. The staff was on it. I like the better vibe. There was more happening there, and there was more staff there than in the other place. It's in the town where we live, so that's a big factor. It smelled good. I didn't smell mothballs when I walked in. They seemed professional, including the nurse I talked to. It was really clean and inviting. People were mingling around. It was alive. It had some music playing. It was a great atmosphere. They had a nice patio garden in the back. I didn't go out there, but I live by it; I see it all the time."

"My mom is in assisted living at Leahy Grove. It is a small town and a small place. It's pretty much for older people at least 80 years or older, so it's not a place I am looking to go. I just want a retirement living. It's very, very nice, but not right now, with COVID. They do a lot with residents. It's a small town, so a lot of people that work there know them all, and the meals are very good. They do a lot with the residents, and they keep them busy. They get them out of their apartment. They don't let them just sit in there. My mom was in the college football and college basketball, and they have a community TV where they've got a whole sports thing and they always turn the TV on for her to that channel whenever she wants to watch. They have some cable in their rooms, but not the sports channel, so they had to get out at least into the community living room with the one big TV. They do a lot for them."

"My mother-in-law was a resident there for five months. I informed one of the personnel at the front desk that we were going to be on vacation and for which dates. I get a call on our vacation informing me that they would not be able to keep her there and they had scheduled a doctor's appointment without consulting me first. This happened to be the day after my husband was having a prostrate biopsy in the hospital. Then I was informed she would have to be out by that Friday. Her appointment was Wednesday and out by Friday and they were holding a room at their affiliated nursing home. We returned from vacation late Monday, husband had biopsy on Tuesday and then her appointment on Wednesday. The facility cares nothing for what is going on in your life. We were told that as long as she could go to the bathroom herself, they would take care of her even though she was having memory problems. The minute she needed a little more assistance, they wanted her out. The day I picked her up for her doctor's appointment, 3 staff were in the lunch room just having a great time and when I returned her from the doctor, the staff at the desk was on her phone. It seems to me that if the staff did the job they were being paid to do there should be no problem. They did not even give us a chance to talk to my mother-in-law and explain to her that she could not be bothering the staff for nonemergency issues. Kentucky Ridge gave us no options, no second chance, no nothing. DO NOT PUT YOUR LOVED ONE HERE BECAUSE THE MINUTE THEY BECOME JUST A LITTLE DIFFICULT, THEY ARE OUT THE DOOR. My husband is legally blind and I have been the only driver in our family for a long time. His sister passed away 2 years ago so my husband and I are her only relatives. My husband could very well have prostrate cancer and we are awaiting the results and you would think Kentucky Ridge could take our circumstances into consideration and give us a little more time to make arrangements to move my mother-in-law but they do not care.

"We chose Country Meadow Place for my dad because it's closer to us kids, and he needs to have care for his dementia. The other place wasn't equipped for dementia, but Country Meadow Place is. The staff was super. I worked with the manager, and she was wonderful. She was super helpful and nice. The place is pretty new."
