Southridge Specialty Care sits on W Merle Hibbs Blvd in Marshalltown, Iowa, and is part of Care Initiatives, working with more than 95 staff members to provide care each day and night for up to 82 residents, and while there isn't much detail available about the exact features inside the building, the facility offers skilled nursing, long-term care for chronic conditions, hospice care for end-of-life needs, and both short and long-term rehabilitation therapy right on site, and you'll find they focus on giving residents personal attention and care. The staff includes a Director of Nursing named Jackie Grieves and an Administrator named Dylan Spina, and they've built a team that works together to try to make life active and engaging through daily activities, social events, and educational programming. Their services cover a wide range of needs for people looking for medical and therapeutic support, and while you won't find a list of specific amenities, they've said the environment is comfortable and nurturing. Southridge Specialty Care connects with digital staffing tools through Nursa, which helps them fill nursing shifts and post jobs, and this system supports registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, and other healthcare workers, offering various shift types like PRN, per diem, or temp jobs, since the facility handles complex scheduling for the care of its residents. Though they don't mention telehealth or hold specific accreditations, they've focused on the basics: offering specialized care, promoting well-being, and trying to help residents recover and maintain the best quality of life possible for as long as they're there.

Severely understaffed, poor resident care
I had the worst experience here: chronic understaffing, unresponsive nurses, long call-light and bathroom waits, missed showers and neglected care, and what I perceived as poor/absent leadership with questionable administrative practices (inappropriate discharges and Medicare documentation issues). A few CNAs and the rehab/therapy team were excellent and helpful, but office staff, many nurses, and management were unprofessional, sometimes confrontational, and hygiene/food standards were low. It's expensive - maybe okay for short postop rehab if you need minimal help, but I would not trust it for residents who need regular care.
