Ruthven Community Care Center

My Dad recently resided in the Ruthven Community Care Center (RCCC) prior to his passing in August 2025. He had previously been under skilled nursing care, residential care and finally hospice care while at the facility. My sister and I chose RCCC for its staffing, activities and pleasant atmosphere but didn’t fully appreciate their level of thoughtful care and attention until Dad became a resident. Dad had complicated medical needs and a high degree of pain which required more attention than the normal resident but the RCCC staff met and exceeded these challenges. Whether it be consulting with his physician, getting him to doctor’s appointments, physical therapy or trying to figure out what could make him more comfortable, every staff member treated him with utmost care and concern. We received good communication and were always confident he was being treated well. The RCCC staff from the Administrator and head Nurse through the cafeteria staff, bathing and laundry were always cheerful and ready to help. On a number of occasions, they demonstrated how deeply they care for the welfare of the residents. The head Nurse would patiently feed someone in the dining hall while organizing the staff’s activities for the day. The physical therapist would work with Dad to positively reinforce how his exercises could gain him more freedom and mobility. Outings to local attractions were arranged to allow residents to experience life beyond the facility if only for an afternoon despite being a considerable logistical challenge. The staff were superbly cross-trained so that no one appeared tired or bored with the same daily routine and passed on their positive attitude to everyone. I witnessed perhaps the epitome of their level of care when a nurse tenderly cradled my Dad’s head and addressed him as “my friend” and really meant it as she helped with his physical pain while reassuring him that he was in her prayers. We really miss Dad but we know that he was cared for in his last year in a way that we could never have provided by ourselves. Thank you RCCC staff.

Nice cozy atmosphere to hold a gathering for any occasion.

A very good place for the elderly that cannot take care of themselves

Nice and clean facility

Treat their employees and patients horribly.
