Connect55+ Ankeny

My mom is 72 years old and loves her 1 bedroom. She loves going down to the community room and participating in activities with Sarah. She has made several friends from joining activities. I have dealt with the property manager, Krystal, and she is wonderful and listens to any concerns or questions. The maintenance guy is very polite and courteous. My mom really enjoys the community.

We went to Connect55+ Ankeny. We like the personnel there. The person we talked to and showed us the room was very nice, very helpful, kind, and considerate. We liked the room. The thing we didn't care for was, we felt like we were living in a hotel. We just can't seem to part right now from living in our own home. Because we weren't sure what we wanted to do, the staff talked to us mostly about our feelings about it. We didn't talk about the amenities and that kind of thing. It wasn't her fault that she didn't tell us the amenities, because she saw uncertainty about even going to such a place. The men that we saw visiting with each other were very encouraging, saying that this is a good place to live and they liked it. Our house is light and roomy, so we felt like it just wasn't the same at all to us if we had to live there. It wasn't the same environment and we just weren't ready for it. The staff was very sympathetic, very understanding, and really tried to help us understand what our present needs were. I think she is one who would attract the people to the 55+ Connect. You felt like she cared for you. The room was very nice and we liked it.

I like a couple of things at Connect55+ Ankeny. The rent was half of what I have at my current facility, they have full-sized appliances and sinks, and the residents are so friendly and so ready to invite me to join in things. I felt tremendous joy that I was there. They have a gym, a craft room, a movie theater, and a common room. The staff seemed so happy. I don't think it was a front they put on just for me. I think they are happy to work there. They were getting the apartment I was going to move into cleaned. I'm looking forward to being able to have plants on my balcony and look out over the ground and have my dog there with me for my comfort and be able to work on my craft.

Connect55+ Ankeny was good. I liked that we could see the inside of the rooms, so that was nice. They had a fridge, oven, and microwave. The staff knew a lot. They did a good job. The dining room is a restaurant type. The facility is beautiful.
