What this means for your family

The Rose of Dubuque offers a clean environment and a robust activity calendar that can help residents feel engaged. However, families should be aware of reports regarding poor food quality and a rigid administrative style; we recommend asking current residents about their daily dining experience and how management handles feedback.
