Testimonials

Everyone was so familylike, which made welcoming you all into mom’s home so easy. One of the best qualities you and your team offer, are your hugs. Elbow bumps, knuckle bumps are not as effective as your compassionate hugs.

- Cindy, Child of Patient

Hospice Care Givers have a special place in heaven. The grace you give to the people in your care, not to mention your sole focus on their needs (not of others), is amazing.

- Katherine Hedrick, Friend of Patient

Your staff left a lasting optimistic impression on us and we boastfully tell all who will listen just how positively impactful your staff, the atmosphere, and the genuine compassion a family may expect from Marshalltown’s own Iowa River Hospice.

- Elaine Peterson, Spouse of Patient

Our family will forever be so much more than simply appreciative of how Iowa River Hospice provided care for our precious mother at the end of her Earthly journey.

- Bradley Zobel & Diane McFarland, Children of Patient

You were always so kind and gentle in your care of her and so accommodating to her wants and needs — even learning how to make poached eggs for her!

- Donna Brandt, Daughter of Patient

I am incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to rotate with Iowa River Hospice. I am so appreciative to the patients who allowed me to take part in such meaningful moments in their lives.

The hometown heroes that make this staff second to none were always there for us. We can’t say thank you enough and encourage everyone to choose Iowa River Hospice.

- Mattox Family, Family of Patient

You were so patient and kind to him, and you went above and beyond to see he was properly cared for. We never had to question or worry about a thing.

- Trent Brooks, Child of Patient

The kindness and compassion of the grief group and the staff gave me tools and hope for the future. Iowa River Hospice helped me in the darkest time of my life. I am very grateful and blessed for all that they offer.

- Stephanie Erickson, Grief Group Participant

My family would like to extend our sincere thanks and gratitude for all the care your staff rendered to Dan Dillon during his time at the Veterans Home.

- Judy Majors, Sister of Patient

Thanks for all the love and support you have shown for my husband, Jerry Rash, and myself during Jerry’s time in Iowa River Hospice. It was amazing — I wasn’t used to having people 'care’ about how I was doing...

- Carol Rash, Spouse of Patient

Thank you so much for your exquisite care and compassion of him as he found the faith and courage to exit this life and enter that eternal place.

- Leona Hutton, Spouse of Patient
