Memory Care Communities in Urbandale, IA

"The food at Ramsey Village was good and home-cooked. The facilities were good and very well-maintained. The staff is very skilled, and I'm just very pleased with the way they treat my mom. "

"We visited Bickford of West Des Moines. The staff thought that he would be best suited in the other Bickford, because there are more males there his age. They greeted us with ice water and fresh muffins, that's what we got upon arrival with our tour as we sat down for our informational meeting. That was awesome. It made us feel right at home and that was a very personal tour as we walked through the building. The people were very polite and very considerate of what we were doing. It is never easy to find a place for your loved ones, but they made it especially easy to do. Her name is Kaitlyn, and she is awesome. We saw one room that was set up and it looked good to me. I just want to say that it is a family-oriented business. They totally want to make the transition from home care to senior living care as smooth and as non-traumatic as possible. It is just a big step, that nobody wants to do, but they make it family friendly."

"I was moving into MorningStar Assisted Living & Memory Care at Jordan Creek, that's where I would go, but it wasn't for me. The people were terrific, the facility was beautiful, everything was just top notch. It was the weekend, but Kim came in specially to show us the place, and I know they went above and beyond to try to accommodate us. They gave us a basket of goodies, muffins I think they were."

"I am very impressed with IV! The apartments are spacious and I can’t say enough great things regarding all of the staff! It’s a great place to live as there are also many activities for people to partake in each and every day!"

"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."

"The staff at Eden Crest are the best! My mother n law feels so comfortable and well cared for there. They treat her like family. We just celebrated her 80th birthday there with the other residents and staff. It was wonderful."

"Independence Village of Ankeny was nice. It's a little bit older and a little bit more like a nursing home, but there wasn't anything that I would be concerned about. The staff seemed very kind and the gentleman that I worked with was very informative. He had lots of good information and he did a good job. They just had a party the night before our visit. They had everything decorated. They also had a nice little entranceway. The layout was more like a little town center where they had a place where they could get their haircut and a library. It was very homey."

"I really liked Journey Senior Living of Ankeny. The staff member was really friendly, spent a lot of time with me, and thoroughly explained the things that they do. They had studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. They had movie nights, and they had an outside courtyard where they had flowers. It's newer and bigger than the other place I visited."

"We went to tour Edencrest at The Legacy. It looked beautiful and I like the meal option, but I thought it was too small of a community and they didn't have grounds for the residents to go out and walk around on the trails. Their property was very, very small. That was the place where there were no residents out like milling around and socializing and stuff. Maybe it was the wrong time of day, but it just didn't feel that comfortable. They had beautiful facilities, and the apartments themselves were nice. But it was just too small, and I just didn't feel like it would be a good fit. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable, but it just felt more like a sales pitch to me. They were following guidelines as far as checking temperatures and masks and stuff, so they did a very good job of that."

"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."

"My husband moved into Holland Farms Senior Living. We toured the place and it's a very nice place. They promised you this and that, and I was impressed. So, that's kind of the reason we went with them. It's a beautiful place. It's only two years old. The layout is OK. It's kind of big and my husband is in memory care, so it's hard for him to find his room because it's quite a ways from the common area. They have a lot of rooms where when you have company, you can go and sit. And if you want to dine with your loved one, they've got a very nice place for that. Then they have a room that you can rent when you want to have a birthday party or something like that. It's called The Pub, and it's nice. We moved him in on a Sunday and I came back during the week, and he hadn't been shaved. And then I came back the next Sunday and in a week, they hadn't shaved him. They're having a Veterans Day luncheon this Friday. They have quite a few activities. One day I was there, they had an activity and I participated with my husband in that."

"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."
