Recent reviews of Independent Living in Winterset, 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.
