My father has been in and out of the Anamosa Care Center for a few years. He has nothing but good to say about the facility, and the people that work there. As a family, we too see how well he is taken care of. These 1 star reviews on here are just false! Thank you for his care.. The Michels Family.

Most people in this world today just go to work, do their job, and go home. Others take those jobs to another level entirely! Our family could not be more thankful for our father/grandfathers care at the Anamosa Care Center. The loving compassion and respect given by ALL the staff did not go unnoticed. Words cannot express our gratitude.

We had a great experience at Woodland park! I loved visiting my grandma there and made it easier to visit when we transitioned her from her long time home to assisted living! We truly felt like family!

A clean facility with nurses and staff that showed exemplary care to my great grandfather, treating him like a human being with his own unique needs and interests. The administration was lovely to work with - answering all of our questions promptly so we could rest assured Popop was in the very best hands. We are forever grateful for the Anamosa Care Center!

Moved our loved one out the same day he moved in. 27 minute wait time after pushing call button- money must be being used for something else besides building maintenance and staffing.
