Hiawatha Care Center

Please get to know their policies and request same before you learn after the fact they may not harmonize with other organizations. Get a patient care advocate for if that seems to you. I have included pictures taken since I o arrived this app and it at Hiawatha Care Center that show. Painful legs and feet caused 1st day I entered Center and was left in wheelchair from drop off at 2 till 9p without any medication until I put on mask and left my room to wheel my self down hall to find nurse

I worked here for 6 months. I was an aide in the kitchen. When I was hired I was promised 20 hours a week. When I quit working here I was working 20 hours every two weeks. I watched CNAs stand around while residents transported themselves. Higher management talks down to the employees that do the actual work. We did a picnic outside not too long ago and none of the staff knew what exactly was needed. In the kitchen they ask for too much in too short of a time span so youre always behind on dishes or serving. Ive seen the RNs give one resident another residents medication because the RNs sit behind the desk all day and almost never interact with the residents. Some of the staff is fantastic, dont get me wrong... but management sucks and a lot of the CNAs, RNs and dietary staff dont give a hoot about the residents well-being. This place is disappointing. I wouldnt send my dog here to be taken care of if were being frank about it. This from an insider... please dont send your family here if you dont want to see them neglected or ignored....

This is the cleanest, kindest nursing home and rehab center we have ever encountered. Couldn't be happier to have our Mom living there for the past year. We had a hospitalist tell us it was the best nursing home in the Cedar Rapids area and we agree!
