Highland Center, in Southeast Iowa | Little papa - 6/14/2025 12:15 Tell me about it- Have a wife that’s been in LTC for 2 yrs after a severe stroke. Plus I go there at breakfast and supper time to make sure she gets two warm meals daily. Then come in the traveling nurses. Takes two weeks to get them use to routine and then in two-four weeks they are gone to another facility. However I’m thankful for the local one in my area. It was started by a family in the mid 80s that sold all their land ( before the land crash) and built a nice facility. The facility also has a daycare where many of the young kids in the area go. My wife worked there for about 10-15 yrs until her health started to fail.
I think this is complete genius!! A functioning daycare in the same locale as a LTC is sooooo very good for both ends of the spectrum. So very good for the littles to have daily contact with the elderly, and the elderly respond so well to having the littles around on a daily basis. With the added benny of LTC staff having daycare available on site for their own kids. I think every LTC facility in the US needs to have this as their pattern. |
