Parkridge Specialty Care

Care, compassion, comfort, and commitment are the cornerstones that make up the foundation of Parkridge Specialty Care.

Newly built, on the outskirts of Des Moines in suburban Pleasant Hill, Parkridge has sweeping views of the downtown skyline, state-of-the-art technology, and open, spacious private, and semi-private rooms. Our skilled nursing staff is available 24 hours a day ready with a joke or a hug and keeping everyone healthy. In our rehab-to-home wing, patients are provided every amenity along with receiving the therapies and treatments to get them back on the road to recovery and returning home. The new Penner bath/spa is a treat for everyone wanting to relax and watch their favorite program.

Our physical, occupational, and speech therapists also see outpatient clients.

Residents in Parkridge enjoy a variety of daily activities such as computer classes or Bible study, to keep everyone engaged. And then there’s the food! Equipped with all of the latest kitchen gadgets and tools, our chef who has been with us for years churns out homemade specialties for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

“Our staff is our greatest asset,” says Administrator Shawn Mikles. “They are all very warm, caring professionals. Service is our first priority.”

Parkridge Specialty Care is a 90-bed skilled nursing facility offering rehabilitation services, skilled nursing care, long-term care, and hospice care. We are a part of Care Initiatives, Iowa’s largest not-for-profit skilled nursing and long-term care provider.  Parkridge Specialty Care accepts Medicare and Medicaid.
