Awesome care center. All therapists are excellent. Nurses and most CNAs are excellent. Most meals are good. Bedrooms with individual bathrooms and showers are really nice. Will miss the staff now that I'm back home alone.

From the moment I walked into Southern Hills I knew this was the place for Mom. Thank you for the love you gave her and sharing your memories with me. I am deeply grateful for all you have done.

Thank you for the kindness you have shown XXX while he has been in your care. Everyday he had something new and exciting to tell me about his stay. We are both grateful for all of your help.

(Des Moines) I am so grateful for your help, support and guidance in helping my aunt in her final journey. Several times during the process I thought I was fine, but then found you there to lean on when I wasn't fine. I feel good about how my aunt was helped in her final weeks. The care she received was so much better with your involvement. It is a relief to know she isn't in pain and to really feel settled that her care was excellent.

I was asymptomatic. The staff worked hard to keep everyone safe by wearing appropriate PPE. The staff was very friendly and attentive while I was in isolation.

Just want to say "thank you" and to pass it along to the nurses for all you do for my son, John, and the other residents! Your compassion and hard work is very much appreciated!
Happy Nurses Week!
