The staff genuinely cares about patients. It was such a pleasant surprise to visit my dad in the evenings and see how genuinely caring and kind everyone was with him. From tech aides to nurses, people really listened to him and were concerned, despite the fact that he had some complex health issues. They really worked with him, better than many hospitals we have been in recently. It was also cleaner than most of the hospital rooms we have been in. I was impressed, and felt confident about his stay after this.

I don't think my words will express how thankful and relieved that my father the providers here are providing long term care for my father. Very professional and caring at all times during many challenging situations in such a short time. Thank You All! May God richly bless the Samaritans/Healthcare professionals of Northern Mahaska Specialist care!

A family member was there for rehab care. They were there for 2 weeks and saw the therapist 3 times. They have not helped. Also when needed help it took 45 minutes at least to get help. Never once got a meal that was ordered. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
