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!!

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.

Independence Village of Ankeny
5.0

Overall I appreciate the support I've received and the willingness to listen. It has been easy to make friends between sharing meals and activities provided.
