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!!

Addington Place of Des Moines
5.0

My aunt was at Addington Place of Des Moines and my mom resides at Addington Place of Des Moines. I can’t say enough positive comments about Addington Place of Des Moines. They really do a good job making sure the residence are well taken care of. I know it’s hard leaving your family member anywhere let alone at an assisted living facility, however, it’s assuring the professional staff are looking after our family member. I personally would like to Thank the director of Addington Place Des Moines and her staff. You folks do a fantastic job with the care of our loved ones. [name removed] and her staff hosted the celebration for my mom’s 100 yr old birthday. The celebration was enjoyed by all! In closing, I would highly recommend Addington Place of Des Moines. It’s comforting to me knowing my mom is well taken care of as your family member would be as well.

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.
