Mom has been a resident now for about 6 months now. She seemed distant and aloof when she first got there. I live on the East Coast and she wasn't too adept at phone calls at first so I relied on FB posts and family calls to see how she was adapting at first. But recently, Mom has been showing up in quite a few more FB pictures and by her smiles, it seems as though this new ownership has turned a corner for her. Thank-you!

I have had the privilege to bring my senior comedy show to many of the Storypoint facilities in central Iowa and have found the audiences fun, engaging and receptive to my unique brand of entertainment. I look forward to a strong relationship in the future with the facilities and their staff.
