It is really fancy. It has a lot to offer the residents. They have an exercise area (which is rather nice), they have a place to go and have your hair done for both men and women, and they have a coffee bar. They have a lot of amenities. The rooms are all a pretty good size. The staff members are very friendly. We emailed back and forth and they were very helpful. Even though we didn't decide to go with them, even if it would not benefit them financially, their administrative staff is still offering to help with any questions I have. The staff members are very kind and helpful.

In the fall of 2019, my dad fell and fractured his back while at home. After 10 days of hospitalization, we realized he needed to move into assisted living. It was a very stressful time for our family.
After meeting with some other local care facilities and subsequently with Jim, Deb, and Ryan a few times, we decided to bring Dad to Vintage Hills in Ankeny.
You always want the best for your loved ones and hope the decision you make is the right one.
The Vintage Hills staff is wonderful and opened their arms to Dad and his beloved pet "Fluffy" They went above and beyond to accommodate his needs and ours.
Recently, Dad had to move into memory care. I want to thank Jim, Deb, Pam, Ryan, and the entire staff for making this transition a smooth and successful one and for always keeping the residents and family’s best interests in mind. Good Job!

We chose it for my mother-in-law. We're in the process of getting her ready to move right now. I like that their memory care residents get the same activities as their assisted living residents. I like the layout. They check on the residents every half hour 24 hours a day. They make sure they look at each one. They have several activity rooms, including one that has some modified gym equipment. They have strengthening activities that the residents can do in their wheelchairs if they need to and group activities or classes. It doesn't have the feeling of a hospital. The memory care unit has wide, open spaces, and instead of having the rooms in a hallway, they're kind of around a big open area. It's very nice and relatively new. They have rooms that you can reserve that have different activities like pinball and different games. You can have a family get-together without having to take your loved one out somewhere. They have a beauty salon right on-site. They have a medical team that works with them there. The staff seemed to be very caring and concerned about making sure that everybody is being treated with dignity and respect. It seemed a little bit homier than other places, and I liked the open space and the layout of the room.

Thank you! I will share your review with our caring, friendly team and thank them for the difference they make every day. We love what we do and I’m so glad it shows. Please stay in close contact and let us know what we can do to ensure your mother-in-law continues to thrive. Sincerely, Trish Brewer, Executive Director

We went to visit and it was very nice, pretty new; everything was modern. They have a little theater where they watch movies several times a week and people can get popcorn. The dining area was very nice, and it looked like they offered a lot of choices. The room was small but not bad. They also have a memory care unit, which I thought it was good. It was 10 minutes from my house, and everything was very nice.

VERY pleased with this new facility. Clean - excellent fresh smell. Classy set up, like living in a country club. BEST of all, ALL staff is friendly, committed to providing the best service, and sincerely enjoy the residents. Appreciate that they also embrace involvement, feedback and collaboration with families.
