This was the first time we had had an experience with assistant living. After the first month we realized our dad probably needed more help than we realized. They were very helpful with us and kept him there. They helped us get extra help for him. He was a 94 year old. He really enjoyed all the workers. We could call or visit at anytime.... Read more

Response from River Valley Place of Fort Madison
July 26, 2024Thank you for your 5-star review! We're thrilled to hear your positive experience at River Valley Place of Fort Madison. It's wonderful to know our team could provide the necessary support and care for your dad, and that he enjoyed his time with us. We appreciate your kind words and are here for you anytime.
This facility has gone through a number of operators since 2019. It seems they come with big promises, but nothing changes. There is no commitment to fixing deferred maintenance and resources to the staff must be limited, the food is so bad.

Was a very warm and welcoming tour, residents seemed happy and very active.
My father-in-law was a resident of Sunnybrook in Ft. Madison for almost 3 years. Prior to moving to Sunnybrook, his health was poor and he was hospitized monthly. He enjoyed the social aspect of visiting and playing cards with his friends at Sunnybrook. His mental and physical health also improved while at Sunnybrook. We credit Sunnybrook with giving us a couple more years with him.

I have lived here at Sunny Brook for almost 2 years. I enjoy getting my room cleaned and my laundry taken care of. I come and go as I please. I love the trips we take to the different casinos every month.

It is an excellent facility for anyone needing extra help. It is very clean. The food is excellent, and if I do not like what the choice of the day is I just order off the menu. The bus for activities and transportation needs is a great asset. The staff and management is very friendly, and always helpful when I need it.

March 16, 2017Smarts, thank you for leaving this detailed feedback about your experience with Sunnybrook at Ft. Madison. You really made our day today.
I'm just pleasantly surprised with it. When you first walk in it looks so homey right from the start. Nice areas to sit and eat, and visit. For the most part the food is pretty good, and there have been only a few times she didn't like what they were having, and they are willing to make something else if that is the case. They do a very good job.
