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!!

The staff has been helpful for me when I have requested some changes to areas that I use. Housekeeping was just here to vacuum my apartment. We have been able to meet many of the residence here and they have been cordial to me and my wife. I'm not surprised that some are not happy with some meals, but that seems normal for about any group that I have been around. We have enjoyed some of the concerts by individual artists.

Fun, vibrant, safe and clean. The staff treat your parent/family member with respect and kindness. Not a cold sterile old folks home. A place they can still be adults and not just another number.
