Nursing Home Communities in Marshalltown, IA

"Mayflower Home was an excellent choice for my mother. I decided for this facility because of the way the staff interacted with the residents. They were welcoming to everyone including the family. My mother is in a shared room. Music is played for the residents since they cannot endure physical activities. I tried their food and it was yummy. The family can even request from the facility if they want to dine together with the residents. "

"We found St. Francis for my mother after she could no longer take care of herself the final few months of her life. Everything about it was first rate. The facility was newer,and clean. The staff was fantastic from the administrator down to the nurses, aides, and even the cleaning staff. They made our mother feel at home from the beginning, and would even check to see how we were doing and if we needed anything prior to her death. I cannot say enough good things about them. I highly recommend them! "

"We went to Wesley Park Centre independent living, but we're also quite satisfied that assisted living would work beautifully. It has the advantage of being across the street from the public library, a major grocery store, and a hospital. It's three stories and it's extremely attractive. The staff was friendly and informative. We've looked at two or three apartments and there were spaces, in particular very nice kitchens. They have a workout room. If you want meals instead of cooking your own, even as independent, meals are available. They have all the standard amenities. The dining area was fairly spacious. The tables were not crowded closely together. They're fairly well spaced out. It's attractive and comfortable. There were other areas also that we did not look at. If you were having a meeting with 12 or 15 people there were a couple of rooms available, and that sort of thing could be done over a meal included. Upkeep and maintenance were excellent."

"My mother fell and broke her femur. The fracture was so bad that she was requiredto go to a facility until she could manage on her own. She wasn't sure where to go, and as I am an xray technician who goes to nursing home and rehab facilities to do portable xrays I suggested Newton Health Care. She was taken very good care of and they had inhouse physical therapists to work with her. She was able to have therapy twice a day. My mothers room was on the small size but it was a private room so she didn't have to put up with anyone else. Mom said the food was rather plain/bland in taste. Other than pain medications she didn't need any meds. I was able to go in every day after work and see her. It was mom's choice that I do her laundry but they were willing to do her stuff if she wanted it. Over all I was happy with her stay. "

"this place is a mixed bag. You have some staff who really care but too many that are indifferent to the clients needs. "

"some staff fail to do their jobs. some staff fail to be nice. "

"My family member was placed @ SHCC, had a lovely private room that was kept clean, meals were very good @ outset but fell below par when change in staff occurred. Meal menus (and guest dining) went downhill fast, to the point visitors were not WELCOME for holiday meals. Staff was caring and though many were sent from a staffing agency and employees were short in numbers, it was decent. The activities were very inclusive of all residents. Change in administrators became a door spinning dial. Then coVid came along. I had to forgo any form of visits which was crushing for our family and loved one. Several family visitation accommodations were suggested, absolutely none were implemented. I requested our loved one be included in frequent activities and was told forcing activities was illegal. The early deaths from pandemic included our loved one and we didn’t even so much as receive a sympathy card or online condolence. The Board of Directors needs an awakening to the main problems of the facility which would include replacement of a person to restore a reputation as a fine facility IMHO. After paying cash to the tune of $250K for a 3 yr stay, I feel entitled to complain and expect improvement."

"I believe making as many visits to see your friends or loved ones makes a big difference in there care they recieve, and if you can know there condition & what medication the facilty is giving them, does it benefit the patient or the staff, (Know the black box warnings on medications) some will do more harm then good. Always remain calm & cool. Always stat to the patients that there care is number #1, and notice how they are dressed. I really believe that the nurses & the aides doing the work , need to be always praised for their work because it goes a long way, Knowing that your loved one will be taken care of when you are away help relieve stress. I feel that care center need to worry about the care part not so much the money, just like school and we all would be in a better spot today . We need to take care of the people who bought us into this world , and give them a since of we care about what happens. This place has made it look like a home in the dining room & TV area, and many changes are happening everyday. , Glad to see that a person getting older has a since of a home & friends "

"They had my aunt in Rolling Green Village. They have very attentive staff, not a lot of activities for the group she was in, but they did a lot of checking of everybody every day, making sure the little things that each person liked was taken care of. She was there for rehab. The room she shared was well-kept and clean, and they took care of it every day. They are more for people who can't get around, and who really need the one on one care of medical people. All the nurses were incredibly nice, and very helpful to the family. It was a very reasonable price for the care that was needed."
