CURRENT VISITOR POLICY
The Pandemic has been challenging for ALL of us, making this an even tougher time for our patients and families! Our goal is to promote visitation within the current recommended guidelines in order to best protect our patients, visitors, and staff. Due to this ever-changing need, we ask you to contact our Hospice Home at 641-753-1197 prior to visiting. We will do our best to safely encourage quality time for you and your loved ones. Thank you for your understanding and patience!
