The Best Assisted Living Communities in Des Moines County, IA

"We visited Bickford Cottage and I thought the apartments were very nice, but on the small size. I thought they would be great for one person, but we were looking for a place for both of my parents together and we thought it would be too crowded for two people. They had crafts activities, bingo, and that sort of things. We saw some of the ladies, I thought they were playing bingo when we were there. We didn't eat a meal there, but we did see the dining room and the menu. Their dining room was very nice and it looked very comfortable. "

"Wonderful homelike community! Excellent care of others! Bravo!"

"My parents are in Rosebush Gardens Assisted Living and they are very happy there. Even though my dad is resistant, he really likes it there. I think the staff is very caring, very friendly and everything has been just great. Actually, the reason why we choose Rosebush is because the apartments are larger than the other two we visited, and they are kept very clean and are in very good condition. I have one meal there, but my dad never misses the meal. He likes the cooking and he is gaining weight actually. "

"Everybody was friendly, and Legacy seemed like a good fit. Actually their menu was probably about as good as anywhere we went as far as selection and everything goes. They had trips and so forth, which my mom hasn't been there long enough to go on, but they have some good things planned -- interesting things from around the area -- so that they do have things and various things on-site -- reading groups, trips to the library, bible study groups, and that kind of thing. I visited a number of them, and this was the one that had an available space and met our needs, and when we needed to make the move, we took it. It wasn't that it was a last choice; it was actually among three choices, and it was available, it was a good fit, so this is where we went. "
