Recent reviews of Memory Care in Scranton, IA
Arbor Springs in West Des Moines, IA
5.0

My loved one had been at this facility for quite a while, and they did an excellent job looking after her. The care they provided here was very good, and the staff were all friendly and professional. The care provided here was a bit more than what she ended up needing and so we looked into other communities, but overall they did a great job.

Walnut Ridge in Clive, IA
4.6

I have heard they are hiring a 2nd nurse so there is one on nights and weekends. That has inhibited a few things when care was required. Not a lot of activities getting them out of the facility. The bus had been broken. Even a bus ride around time would be nice. The staff are wonderful in the memory care unit. The presentation and atmosphere in the building are first class.

Northridge Village in Ames, IA
5.0

Northridge VIllage is a very professionally run community with compassionate, efficient personnel. The atmosphere is friendly and welcoming for residents' demeanors and outlooks. The healthful meals are tasty, nicely varied and attractive and we appreciate the cleanliness of handling foodstuffs. Employees appear to be happy with their employment.
