Testimonials:


"I never thought that I would feel so at home in a nursing home, but Golden Age has provided me with friends, things to do, and now my family is moving in!"

"Golden Age took me from death's door step to stronger than I've been in years.  I am now back in my own home and feeling stronger than ever!  I would highly recommend Golden Age's therapy department for anyone needing to get stronger so they can go home."

Laurie Buckhahn - email

Laurie knew at a very young age she wanted to become a nurse, so after high school she went on to college and became a registered nurse.  She worked many years in the Cath Lab and Cardiac Unit in a hospital in the Quad City area.  Laurie then became certified as a Diabetes Educator and taught many years in teaching Diabetes Self Care. When Laurie's husband decided he wanted to become a pastor the family moved to Southwest Iowa.  This is where Laurie started her career in long-term care.  She worked several years as a Director of Nursing in skilled nursing facilities.  Laurie wanted to do more for the elderly so she went back to school and obtained her Adminitrator's license in long-term care.  This is Laurie's first job as an Administrator.  Her personal goal is to treat everyone like family and make Golden Age the home of choice.  

Laurie and her husband live in Corydon, Iowa.  Her 3 grown children live close in the state of Iowa.  Laurie and her husband enjoy riding motorcycles when weather permits.  

Laurie wants to remind everyone that she is always available for residents and families.
