My mother is living in this facility. She is treated with respect. The staff has always been accommodating and kind to her. She thinks of Maquoketa Care as her "now" home. The staff is kind to me and my family.

I brought my Mom to MCC after being hospitalized when she needed physical rehab. Everyone who works here is so incredibly friendly, caring and gracious. They are so accommodating and the staff will bend over backwards for your loved ones. I would never hesitate to bring a loved one here for care!

I know that this staff and facility are dedicated to giving all their patients ( who they consider their family) the best care available. Everyone has taken all precautions during Covid to making sure everyone is safe and happy

I am truly disappointed on the intake process of this facility. My father unfortunately was found unresponsive a couple months ago due to a massive GI bleed. Due to the trauma on his body and brain being deprived of oxygen he experienced a common disorder called icu delirium and goes away with time. When discharged my father was sent to a rehab facility and due to immobility concerns needed a long term care. We called this facility and was denied due to a medication he was taking for the delirium. Mind you my fathers mind is clear he is able to make financial decisions, and using his laptop computer and cellphone. This facility only cares about money and nothing about patient care. We chose this facility because it has a lot to offer but to be denied over one medication is insanity. They also claim they offer memory care services for patients with Alzheimer's and dementia. If you were to ever look into there medication history you will find the pages of medications for mental health and mood stabilizers. Don't go here they really don't care about helping our community.

My husband was a resident at Maquoketa Care for 16 months suffering from Parkinsons and Dementia. The staff was so kind to him even though he was difficult at times. He had excellent care and I cant' say enough good things about our experience . I give them a 5 star rating.
