Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community is noted for its welcoming and caring atmosphere, with the staff being frequently praised for their helpfulness and friendliness. Several reviewers highlighted the community's provision of varied care levels, including independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing, which cater to different needs and facilitate easy transitions between care levels. The availability of activities and the quality of the food were also positively mentioned, along with the community's efforts to maintain a clean and safe environment. Specifically, homemade meals and a range of activities like movie nights, outdoor trips, and live entertainment contributed to a positive living experience for residents. The community's setting near Drake University was appreciated for its natural beauty and access to local attractions, although some noted the traffic as a downside.
However, there were mixed feelings about some aspects of the community. While the long-term staff commitment was seen as a strength, leading to lower staff turnover, concerns were raised regarding room temperatures being hard to regulate. Additionally, the physical condition of the facility received mixed reviews; some appreciated the homey and well-kept environment, while others found it dated or lacking in certain amenities like comprehensive therapy areas. A few reviewers expressed dissatisfaction with management responsiveness and the perceived institutional feel of some parts of the facility. Nevertheless, expensive pricing and clarity on services offered were concerns for some, yet many emphasized the affordability and value provided by this community when comparing it to others. The personal experiences shared about the level of care, particularly in memory and full-care units, reflect an overall satisfaction with the services received, despite the desire for more modern upgrades and a broader range of activities.
