Recent reviews of Independent Living in De Soto, IA
Elite Lodge of Ashworth in West Des Moines, IA
3.8

We chose The Lodge of Ashworth Inc. because during the tour we were impressed with how clean it was and they had availability at the perfect time. They also remodeled her apartment before she moved in so she was able to pick things like her paint colors. The best part about the community is that she is safe and they have handled the pandemic very well.

Edencrest at Beaverdale in Des Moines, IA
5.0

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.

Rock Creek Senior Living in Ankeny, IA
5.0

I would recommend this facility to others. All interactions that I have had with all of the staff have been great. Also, my mother has not had a complaint that she has told me about. So everything good. I can't rate the meals or activities as I haven't personally been involved with those.
