10 Best Memory Care Facilities in Allison, IA

I felt that the staff relieved a lot of stress from the first interview. They reassured us that this is what they do, what their staff is trained to do; care for my loved one, in my case in memory care. There was always the question in my mind 'Should I be trying to do this care myself?' I am NOT trained to do it, so am most thankful there are compassionate, wonderful people who are. During the transport process, a non-emergency medical transport, the staff stayed in contact until they pulled up to the front doors, and greeted them with smiles. I have been included every step of the way and again, reassured that it would be figured out, if I didn't have an immediate answer to a particular question. I have eaten with my mother a few times now and the food has been very good. The meals were delicious, balanced, and presented in a visually pleasing way. I would definitely recommend CedarStone Senior Living to others. It is a colorful, joyful place with a wonderful, joyful staff.

Staff at Whispering Willow were wonderful with my Dad during his short stay. Both staff and the other residents were kind and encouraging. Dad even found a brother and sister he knew, who he spent time with in his high school years. As Dad started to decline, staff kept me updated with changes on a regular basis. I appreciated this so much. I couldn’t have gone through everything the past several months without the amazing staff at Whispering Willow.

I would say receive the appropriate care, they answer all my questions and contact me as needed for follow-up care or something I need to be made aware of. Huge respect for nurse [name removed] who really cares for the patients and works exceptional hours. She is retiring soon and will be greatly missed!
