Assisted Living Communities in Urbandale, IA

"Bickford of West Des Moines was very, very nice. Of the two places we looked at, that was actually the bigger of the rooms. That was a very good-sized room. They said they do quite a bit of activities for them. The staff was all very nice, very cheerful, and very positive."

"We toured the MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Jordan Creek and my grandmother liked it. It was the newest of all the places we visited. You get the sense of community, but it was more like a hotel atmosphere where she could get room service. They have more luxury amenities like a beauty salon in there that she absolutely loved because she likes to get her hair done. The fact that she could do her hair right there might have been the selling point for her. The assisted living apartments were nice and spacious. They had tall ceilings, which made it feel like they had more space in it. She could even walk all the way through each room so she could do like a lap in there because they were very large spaces, and well-designed too. The staff was very polite. They came right up and brought us coffee. They offered to feed us right there on the spot which we didn't accept because we had just eaten. They treated us like we were members of their community."

"The Waukee location is a REAL community. From the moment my mom arrived, she was made to feel like family. It started with the staff who was extremely attentive. Not only were they attentive, but they took personal interest in making sure she was acclimated and comfortable. Mom marveled at how quickly the residents took to her. They constantly checked on her, invited her to various activities, and made her feel like she was home! The leadership at Waukee is top notch. I would recommend Independence Village to EVERYONE looking for a community for their loved one. Their care, concern, love and professionalism are unmatched!"

"I like that everything is very modern and up to date at Edencrest Kettlestone. The staff is very good. My dad says the food is pretty good, too. The place is very clean. They have a library, a courtyard, an outdoor space, a weight room and an activity room. Overall, we chose this community for my dad because of its price, cleanliness and proximity to where I live."

"I like everything about Edencrest at Siena Hills. It is an excellent facility. The staff was excellent. It's beautiful there, but the downside is the cost. The apartment was beautiful. Everything was brand new in it. The layout was excellent. One thing we were looking at was the bathroom, and it was laid out excellently. It had excellent handicapped accessibility. It was very nice. We did not go during lunchtime, so we weren't able to sample their food. However, when we left, they were serving dinner to their residents, and their dining room was filled, and what we could see of what people were having, looked great."

"The staff are all so caring and friendly!! That treat my parents like their own!!!! They love on them sooo well!!! They have infinite patience!!! I can’t say enough about how awesome the caring staff are!!!"

"I toured Rock Creek Senior Living. They had 24-hour care. It looked like a nice, comfortable place. The room seemed a little small, but maybe that's just what they are for assisted living. Everyone was very friendly. The residents seemed comfortable and happy. They had physical therapy. They had rides. They had activities. They have meals. They had a beauty shop. The staff was very nice. The dining area was nice. They had a large eating area. It looked comfortable."

"My tour at Edencrest at The Legacy was very nice. Everything was pretty much included, like the laundry. They had a nice place to eat that's restaurant style and they'd come out to take your order. If you didn't like the special, you could order something else. They had their main area where did their exercises, it's set up like the main sitting area. They did trips, when we were visiting they just got back from taking a tour somewhere to look at the scenery. The room that I saw was a decent size, they have private rooms. They had a salon, it was a nice building. Everything seemed nice and kept up there."

"My parents have moved into Edencrest at Riverwoods. Everything is great. They are very helpful. There is good communication. They are making sure they are checking in with me and making sure my parents understand what's going on. The staff is good, and they check on them all the time. The rooms are comfortable. They are big enough for what my parents' need. They have bingo, music, and sightseeing. They keep them busy. The living atmosphere is good, clean, nice, and organized. In terms of value for money, it's basically the same everywhere. It's expensive no matter where you go, so it seems fair."

"Mom is in Holland Farms Senior Living. It's a very, very nice place. It's very modern, beautifully decorated, very clean, and well maintained, and they've got a very nice staff. They have a very nice dining area. They had a Christmas party on Tuesday night. My mom likes to walk and there's a place there for her to walk and she enjoys that. The food is excellent. I haven't eaten anything, but I've looked at the menus and it looked like they would be very good. The activities are excellent too. They take them on rides and they have church activities and things like that. They have a lot of things and they keep it very interesting for them. Comparatively, their pricing is very competitive."

"I toured Edencrest at Pleasant Hill. It's new, and the administrator who took me on the tour seemed like she knew what she was doing and had things in mind to do as far as the future goes. She had some good ideas. The rooms were very nice and comparable to any other room I've seen. They're about the same size and have a nice, roomy bathroom. They just showed me a model. She told me that they just got a new chef and that he was good."

"We toured Edencrest at Tuscany for my in-laws. Our overall experience was just what we expected. We met with Kevin, and he explained and showed us what it was all about. He also showed us two options that were available and told us about the 2-bedrooms. Both options were wonderful. It was a nice facility, brand new. I liked all of the services that they were going to provide. It made me feel like they would be safe. Even though they were in independent living, they would provide the call button if they needed something right away. It was not free of charge. But, in the end, that made me feel secure, even though they were going to be independent living. The rooms had lots of light. They had a beautiful balcony off of the living room and sliders that led to the balcony. The kitchen was very roomy and would be easy for them to navigate around even for those with issues with walking or a walker. Their kitchen was just about as big as my kitchen in our current home, so, it was very nice. The closet space was roomy with plenty of room for their personal items. It had an in-service laundry room that was right above the kitchen. It was like the brochure says, beautiful."

"I had visited several times over the years. The place was always spotless. It had a very clean and neat rooms. Very large hallways, which was great. You would always see some elderly around. Wither it be playing cards, solving puzzles, or watching a group movie there always seemed to be something going on which is fantastic. I imagine it must get terrible boring without activates running all the time. The rooms where my grandparents stayed were huge. The also provided extremely large bathrooms which is always nice. The staff was always friendly. Every time I went they always seemed so happy to help out. (Of course they are paid to do this, but it was nice nonetheless) Overall the place was great. I always enjoyed visiting and when I end up retiring I would love to live in a place like that. "
