The Bridges at Ankeny
4.8

My mom stayed at The Bridges for her rehab after her shoulder surgery. The therapy team was amazing and always took the time with her. She is grateful to have recovered and is back home. But, if we need to go somewhere in the future THE BRIDGES IS WHERE WE WOULD GO!!

Edencrest at Riverwoods in Des Moines, IA

The facility is really awesome! The staff are accommodating and friendly and the facility is kept well maintained. Everything is going so well, and we don't really have any complaints so far!

Rock Creek Senior Living in Ankeny, IA

We toured Journey and it is a very high quality place. The meals are all chef prepared and you can order food at anytime of the day so they are not served cafeteria style. They did not have any openings when we needed but I would highly recommend them.
