I thought Prairie Hills Des Moines had a very homey type atmosphere, and had good activities for the people living there. The rooms were set up nicely, I liked the outdoor walkway they had, the landscape, and everything was really nice for my parents. They seemed to be really caring. They had a bag toss baseball, and it turned out they have a league between the homes for that. Thats really cool for the older people to have something like that, a competitive thing, just to show that at those ages they could still have a competition.

Thank you so much for the kind words Dennis! I hope you heard about our Spring Special we are running where you can get one months free rent! This is a value worth thousands of dollars. Call Robin to talk more.

I visited Prairie Hills at Des Moines. Everybody was very nice, very helpful, very engaged with all the residents, and very caring. There was so much attention paid to the residents, so everybody was like one big family. I would definitely recommend it. The food was good, it was clean, and there were lots of activities and lots of people participating.

We looked at Prairie Hills. The staff seemed nice enough, and the rooms were a little bit larger, but they didn't have as many activities for my father-in-law. Also the front door didn't have a buzzer, and that their people were further along in dementia or something like that. They have a memory-care unit, but before you got to the memory care, if the dementia was too bad, they had to go find some place else. When I was there, they had some boxes in the hallway, and they were just sitting in the hallways where the residents had to go around it. They did have nice, wide hallways, but I didn't like Prairie Hills as well as the others.
