Southridge Specialty Care has been part of the Marshalltown community for decades. In 2001, we moved into a beautiful new center on the south side of the city.
We are proud of Southridge’s family – and that means so much to our residents. When their family members cannot be here, they are a part of “our family.” We understand the importance of creating and maintaining an atmosphere where people feel loved, secure and well-cared for. Nothing can take the place of home. But we work to be a welcome “second home.” You’ll experience that “family feeling” in our center.
Southridge has an extensive variety of superior rehabilitation services. Special efforts are made to provide an intimate setting for your therapy needs. Our staff consists of trained, experienced licensed physical, occupational and speech therapists. All therapies are also offered to the public on an outpatient basis.
Southridge was chosen as the “Best of the Best” nursing homes in the Marshalltown area. A special effort is made to ensure a quiet, comfortable living environment. Our staff provides professional care to every resident. Home-cooked meals are served and daily activities are provided for the residents’ emotional and physical well-being.
We strive to provide the best care possible utilizing family, friends and our caring staff. We encourage visiting Southridge Specialty Care for a personal tour. Please call us, or send us an e-mail.
