Anne Nielson, Healthcare Coordinator I have been a Registered Nurse for 29 years with experience in many different types of nursing. My husband, Bill, is a Lutheran pastor currently serving a church in Anamosa, Iowa. We have 3 children: Laura, who lives in Minneapolis; Lisa, who is married to Bryan and lives in Waverly, Iowa; and Todd who is a junior in high school. My favorite way to spend free time is reading, cross stitching, spending time with my family, or watching my son play baseball. I really enjoy working with the residents of River Bend. I learn something new every day and I love to hear the stories they have to share. I think together we can make a difference in each other's lives. riverbendassist@netins.net |

As of August 2009, I’m the Nurse Manager of River Bend Assisted Living. I have been a nurse for 17 years. I have a broad nursing background, having worked in a hospital setting, a large physicians clinic, home care, and long term care. I have always enjoyed working with the elderly. I think everyone has a great story, and I love to listen to people talk about their lives. I do live just outside of Cascade. I grew up just North of here in New Vienna. My husband, Nick and I lived in the Chicago suburbs for 10 years. It was there, that I went to nursing school. We have two grown daughters, Erica and Jackie. We moved back to Iowa to be closer to family and because we believed it was the best place to raise a family. Which, I still believe is true. |

I started River Bend in August of 2009. I have been in food service for 12 years working in restaurants and health care facilities. Cooking has always been a great interest in my life since I was a little girl always in the kitchen with my grandmother. I am currently 28 years old 26 of these years I have lived in Hopkinton were I currently reside. I have one daughter Rylee that is 10 years old and a cavalier king charles puppy named Cooper that is 9 months old. Rylee attends Maquoketa Valley Schools in Delhi. Rylee keeps me very busy in my spare time with many activities, Campfire and softball are just a few, also in my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, going to races, cooking, crafts, campfires and many outdoor activities. I enjoy working here and look forward to the future. Im always open for new ideas and suggestions to make the food service department the best it can be for our residents. dccookieg@netins.net |
I joined the River Bend team in March 2009. I love getting to come and work here everyday! The residents are so much fun to be around, and my co-workers are terrific! I have lived in Cascade my whole life so I am very familiar with Cascade and the surrounding communities. I will be getting married in April 2010 (yay!) so I currently spend much of my free time wedding planning. My fiancé and I having farming in our blood, and we are hoping to purchase a farm sometime in the near future. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, watching movies, reading, shopping, and cooking/baking. |
Nick and I farm. We also love spending time outdoors kayaking, camping, downhill or cross country skiing. Our favorite times are just being around a bonfire with music and friends. I just love meeting the residents and seeing how their faces light up when they get involved in the activities. The socialization for the elderly at River Bend is one of the biggest benefits. It’s such a warm community setting to get together with friends for cards or a movie. I certainly look forward to future events we can plan together. Please stop by to visit and see the place. rbmanager@netins.net |
