Assisted Living Communities in Urbandale, IA

"We visited MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Jordan Creek. We just visited assisted living and didn't get into the memory care. We got a tour of the main facility there and I felt like they were a nice community. They had a cafeteria and nice common areas for food and people coming into the residence. It was a pretty good-sized facility. They had different areas like the one where they have their therapy. It looked like a nice and well-kept building. The people who worked there and the residents all seemed to be happy. The staff was good and the one who gave us the tour was nice. We got a chance to meet the director of the community, and she was nice. Out of all the ones that we visited, it was probably one of our favorites in the West Des Moines area."

"Rooms are nice and this facility is priced well for a very popular location in the western suburbs of Des Moines. The lobby atrium is very nice. There are walking paths outside the village, but there isn't much outdoor area for relaxation other than on a bench outside the main entrance. Internet service is not great for the outer most apartments and there is no over-the-air antenna service so that residents can enjoy local channels. The staff is always very helpful. Activity staff goes above and beyond to bring the fun. There is a good variety of activities, but some days seem to offer up more "fun" than others. Not much to do on the weekends due to the lack of staff. The only complaint I've heard from my father and others is around the food. Some days the meals are good, and some days they are not so good."

"Edencrest Kettlestone showed me everything. My main takeaway from the place is that it's too expensive for me. The apartments were very nice. I got to see a one-bedroom and a studio, I saw their exercise facilities, and I had a meal, and it was OK. They had an exercise room and a reading room."

"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."

"Visited the facility and very impressed. Staff were all helpful and you could tell love their jobs. Ate lunch during tour and was very good. When parents get to the point of needing this, will definitely move forward. "

"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."

"3801 Grand is in the same neighborhood that I would like to be in. It isn't as large as a community. It has 38 residents so it seemed like a very friendly community. The input that I was getting from talking to the administrator was very receptive and very proactive. She called right away and she listened to what I would like, and then made arrangements for my son and myself to have separate apartments within the same floor. They have the evening meal available and some house cleaning services. I will not have any extra bills to consider. As far as utilities and everything, it would all be covered, except for my phone. They did great follow ups. The person I interacted with was excellent. When I went there, the receptionist seemed welcoming. The staff person I've been working with is the marketing staff. She just informed me that she's going to be out of town, and who I could reach in the meantime, so I appreciate that. The place is well maintained. They had activities. I was interested in their underground covered garage. They didn't have an entrance fee. You just have to pay a deposit, and I understand it's refundable if you want to leave. They had some activities that I thought I would be interested in. They have a gym and a full kitchen in the apartment."

"The Holland Farms Senior Living facility is absolutely beautiful. As far as all the places that I went to, I really felt that the value of that particular place was awesome (compared to many of the other places). It's fresh and clean because it's brand new. It has many great things to offer. It has a beautiful park out back of the facility with walking and bicycle paths. The landscape around it is great, and the inside is very well done. The staff was very friendly and very nice. I've eaten out there twice, and the food was great. There's a fairly large menu to choose from, and the chef comes out and visits with you. It was a great experience."

"We visited the independent living community of Edencrest at Tuscany in Altoona. The facility itself was great, and the apartment that we were looking at actually had a nice balcony, which would have been nice. For activities, they combined independent living with assisted living. They're a very beautiful place to go to, but just a little further away from all of our kids when I want to see them, so we decided to go somewhere else. They have a one-on-one exercise area and underground parking. They're also newer, and the staff members were always very lovely."
