Nursing Home Communities in Emmetsburg, IA

"My mom was at Emmetsburg Care Center. It was really good. They did a great job. They took excellent care of my mom through rehab. They got her walking again with a walker, so she could go ahead and move back home. The place is very clean and very well-run, and they're very attentive to the people that were there. The staff was very good. They did excellent as far as taking care of my mom. She was very pleased with the staff. My mom is very picky, but she said the food was very good. For activities, they had parties like Super Bowl parties and things like that. It's not an inexpensive place, but it's worth it."

"My mom is in Valley Vue Care Center, and they give excellent care. She is comfortable and happy as she can be. They treat her very well. The staff is very nice, and are prompt at responding. They are very friendly, and they seem to really care about the residents. My mom says the food is good, and she likes them. Right now, due to Covid, it is hard for them to do a lot of activities, but somebody comes around, they bring activities to the rooms, and help them do things. The place is clean, welcoming, and homey. It is just a really nice place. It seems like a very caring and responsible place. They really take the time to be involved with other patients, and make the best out of the situation."

"Years ago two of my Grandparents lived here. My Mother moved in to Good Sam almost two years ago and my Father moved in a year ago and recently passed away in October. This facility is awesome! The care my parents have received is top notch. They were/are in the Special Care Unit there. They are always doing activities and the nurses and aides care so much about their residents. We wouldnt have our Mom any where else! "

"My father is at the Algona Manor Care Center. It's a beautiful building. They did physical therapy on him. He would walk the steps and go outside and walk off and on the curb so he would get used to that. Now he's decided that he's ready to go home, and he's going to go home, and they're going to check his apartment over to make sure it's safe for him to be there. His room is a shared room, but he doesn't have a roommate. They have an activity area. It might be the dining area, but I'm not sure."

"I have visited the Pocahontas Manor Care facility many times. My visits occurred at all times of the day during visiting hours and during each day of the week. I knew a few of the residents and also some of the workers.The facility is clean and well maintained. The exterior grounds are well landscaped and well groomed. Inside the hallways and rooms are kept freshly painted and clean. The areas are well lit and fairly cheerful.The staff was always friendly. They also treated the residents with respect and it was clear that they were well trained to care for the folks staying at the nursing home. The facility sponsored special events like school children visits for singing programs.Overall, the Pocahontas Manor Care facility is a good institution where you can feel confident that your loved ones will be well taken care of. I would recommend it to my friends and relatives. "

"My husband was put in Pleasant View to get rehab because he got sepsis and he got really sick. About a week after he was in there, he got Covid, but he's home now. I just got him on Sunday, and he's doing OK. He was at Pleasant View for two months. I really liked the people in there. I could tell they're really caring. They would always take the phone to him whenever I'd call. I can't really give a good evaluation because I was never there very much. I went in the first day to register him, and I never went again. I stood outside his window a couple of times and brought him Christmas presents, but not as far as going in and thoroughly evaluate it. As far as good care, he was better when he got home, so that's pretty good to me. He got a private room. When we put him in there, I was fearful of Covid, and then they got it on Thanksgiving weekend, but my husband is lucky he had a really light case of it. These were good women that took care of him. I don't think there were any guys there. My husband is a big guy, and he's 6'3. Honestly, I really doubt they had any activities with this Covid thing going around. They needed to isolate my husband in his room, so he didn't get physical therapy then. He was isolated in his room for a couple of weeks. It really is hard for me to give that place a grade right now, but I'd give them an A absolutely. The only thing that really mattered to me was these kind women and the care they gave. The place was real quaint, and it's the first thing you see. The second thing is this big giant church, and right across the street is this nice little rest home. It's kind of like a Y-shaped brick, and it looked modern and nice. My husband had an end room. I didn't have any complaints, but then I can't have anything to compare it to either. He didn't have any complaints with the food, and he didn't lose any weight. I've checked in with others, and it's not cheap. That's one of the reasons why I'm not keeping my husband in there because it will wipe me out. As long as I can take care of him and he can get up, I'm going to. I know that Pleasant View is $2000 cheaper than the other place here and that's huge."
