I was at Simpson Home everyday for the past 8 weeks to visit my best friend. I want to personally thank all the staff and management at Simpson Home for their kindness and compassion given to my friend. Everyone was friendly from the staff who greeted you at the door and processed each of us in, to the nurses and aides who provided compassionate care. Absolutely every time I was there, staff would check my friend for comfort, bring food, provide medicines and bathe. I was always amazed that daily clean clothes and shaving would have occurred. He loved the food and hi favorite was strawberry with chocolate smoothies. I can't tell you the number of times staff told him they loved him, and he loved them back. I am personally gratified that we have such an excellent facility in our community. Clean and well managed. Thanks Simpson Home staff for taking good care of my best friend.

I had the honor of bringing a little bit of the Muscatine County fair to this facility as it was way too hot outside for the folks who live here to visit the fairgrounds. A more pleasant atmosphere you cannot find.
