AWESOME!

My father in law was in pretty bad shape when he went there. They kept him in the assistant living. They would work with him and checked on him more than was required. They knew we could not afford the constant care. In the back of our minds we knew he was getting close to the end. We were just hoping they could help us find a way to make him better. They were awesome. They tried physical therapy and more. They finally talked to us about Hospice. They came for extra help. Everyone was awesome. River Valley staff kept working with Hospice. They kept us informed what was going on when we were not there. They were all awesome.

First time dealing with assistant living

This was the first time we had had an experience with assistant living. After the first month we realized our dad probably needed more help than we realized. They were very helpful with us and kept him there. They helped us get extra help for him. He was a 94 year old. He really enjoyed all the workers. We could call or visit at anytime.

Place for mom

This facility has gone through a number of operators since 2019. It seems they come with big promises, but nothing changes. There is no commitment to fixing deferred maintenance and resources to the staff must be limited, the food is so bad.

My father-in-law was a resident of Sunnybrook in Ft. Madison for almost 3 years. Prior to moving to Sunnybrook, his health was poor and he was hospitized monthly. He enjoyed the social aspect of visiting and playing cards with his friends at Sunnybrook. His mental and physical health also improved while at Sunnybrook. We credit Sunnybrook with giving us a couple more years with him.

I have lived here at Sunny Brook for almost 2 years. I enjoy getting my room cleaned and my laundry taken care of. I come and go as I please. I love the trips we take to the different casinos every month.

It is an excellent facility for anyone needing extra help. It is very clean. The food is excellent, and if I do not like what the choice of the day is I just order off the menu. The bus for activities and transportation needs is a great asset. The staff and management is very friendly, and always helpful when I need it.

I'm just pleasantly surprised with it.

I'm just pleasantly surprised with it. When you first walk in it looks so homey right from the start. Nice areas to sit and eat, and visit. For the most part the food is pretty good, and there have been only a few times she didn't like what they were having, and they are willing to make something else if that is the case. They do a very good job.
