NorthCrest Specialty Care open house

WATERLOO – On Thursday, October 31 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
the public is invited to join us and other area business leaders to tour, NorthCrest
Specialty Care, a state-of-the-art skilled nursing facility. The new building
is located at 2001 Heath Street in Waterloo, across from Allen College.

NorthCrest is the latest in a series of new buildings and
remodeling projects for Care Initiatives whose goal is to provide the best
quality, patient-centered care in a homelike setting.

Of the many new amenities at the facility, one wing caters
specifically to those who need only short-term or outpatient care following
injury, illness or surgery. Our Rehab to Home wing has a separate entrance with
ample parking, 16 private rooms with 12 that include walk-in showers, and a
private dining area. This wing also includes a spacious physical and
occupational therapy room which incorporates Accelerated Care Plus therapy
equipment and modules.

Each room is outfitted with an electric bed, flat-screen,
wall-mounted television and Wi-Fi. The facility, encompassing a lovely
courtyard, also includes a large dining area, social areas at the end of each
wing, state-of-the-art bathing facilities, a large training area for staff and a
variety of college students and a theatre room. The 94-bed facility is rounded
out by private and semi-private rooms.  

Residents currently living at Parkview Nursing and Rehab
Center will be moving to NorthCrest on November 4.

“The development of NorthCrest goes in tandem with the
improvements that have developed around Waterloo’s Northeast Corridor,” says
Administrator Phil Maxey. “We’re offering a unique homelike setting for older
residents in Northern Waterloo and surrounding areas.”

NorthCrest is owned
and operated by Care Initiatives, Iowa’s largest non-profit senior health care
provider. With 44 skilled nursing facilities, 8 assisted living complexes, 4
independent living complexes and 6 hospice office sites around the state; Care
Initiatives provides devoted care to older Iowans. For more information, click here.
