Parker Place in Parkersburg, IA
5.0

That they were very helpful getting him settled in when admitted. In contact with me on his likes on what to do n to keep busy, etc. I'd give a positive experience and recommend taking a look at. We picked this community, because they had a shared room price, friendly staff on tour, clean. Residents out in common areas n engaged. Fairly close to home town.

Northridge Village in Ames, IA
5.0

Northridge VIllage is a very professionally run community with compassionate, efficient personnel. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming for residents' demeanors and outlooks. The healthful meals are tasty, nicely varied and attractive and we appreciate the cleanliness of handling foodstuffs. Employees appear to be happy with their employment. Entertainment opportunities are numerous and diverse.

Mallard Point Senior Living in Cedar Falls, IA
5.0

Mom absolutely loves Holiday Mallard Point. The Activities Director is so good. She has lots of energy and ideas. There are new things happening each week and not the same things all the time. The staff and residents are all super friendly. We are thrilled with our choice. We really felt that Holiday Mallard Point had the best bang for the buck, as well as the best opportunity for mom to meet people and to stay active. She's also getting physical therapy on-site. Services are excellent.
