A Good Fit for my Mother

My mother has been at Addington Place for a little over 2 months. She really likes the food, and the staff is attentive to her needs. They have a lot of activities for the residents to do. They have a registered nurse there during the day on weekdays.... Read more

A great fit for mom

We are a lot happier with my mother-in-law at Prairie Hills than at Ramsey where she came from. Prairie Hills is doing a great job, it is a homier environment the staff is pleasant, friendly and they all address her by her first name when they greet her It is secured area so we know she is safe there. Right now the apt my mother-in-law is in is a bit big but they just told us they have a studio available for her and will be moving her there. They do have transportation for the residents who need it and they have signed my mother-in-law up with the Mobile doctor who will be seeing her there for regular wellness checkups and medication reviews. They also have a hair dresser visit her every week which she really likes. There are lots of activities and she does participate from time to time so they do keep the residents busy. I would definitely recommend Prairie Hills to my friends and family.

A home for my mom

I like the homie atmosphere here for my mom. The community is making it comfortable for her. The staff is very nice and caring. She likes the activities of playing bingo, daily exercises and getting her nails done. The community is very clean and maintained. She is staying active and seems to be enjoying the care that she is getting. I highly recommend this community for great care and value.

wonderful

Prairie Hills at Des Moines is just wonderful compared to the other facility we were at. The food is supposed to be wonderful. The people seem very genuine. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They remember my husbands name and are very kind. I am getting more value here that I was previously. I am paying slightly less than the previous location also. The staff are always checking in on him. They do have lot going on as far as activities too. They are very quick to give us information. They help us with anything we need, they don't just leave you on your own. So far everything is going wonderful at this facility.

activities are their best suit

At Prairie Hills at Des Moines the activities are their best suit. There was confusion on cleaning. The staff changed the status of moms room. Originally she was in assisted living and now she is in memory care. So there was some confusion with that, but it has been resolved. We are really happy with this facility.
