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.

Positive review
Mom's been in the memory care wing for a couple of months now. She is getting along very well. Seems like she's not getting out of her room as much as I thought they would. I don't know how mom responds to them though. She does like it there. She enjoys the food and doesn't want for anything.

We've all been very happy with Addington!
The staff and residents have made it very easy for mom and our family to feel comfortable and have a real home experience for her.
The cost is hundreds lower than her previous facility.
We've all been very happy with Addington!

Addington place of Des Moines, Iowa
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.

Look deeper
My parent received yet another letter about management change last month. They change more often than their employees. Which is ALOT. Some staff care a lot, others are over worked. Staff will yell when frustrated then not communicate with families when there is an injury. This place does a ton of "family" food activities to make it look good but it's hanging on by a thread they hire bodies not people or anyone certified.

Very Disappointed in The Service
I would tell others not to put your loved one here. There was an incident when my loved one was taken to the hospital to see if they had a fractured foot. The community didn't call me, it ended up being the hospital that ended up calling me.
There was a leaking toilet, nothing saying it was wet or a way to clean it up on the floor. The community didn't tell us why my loved one wasn't using the bathroom and ended up getting their own shoes dirty.
The community takes the residents to doctor appointments. The eye appointment was canceled a few times due to the community not taking my loved one to the doctor. They lack in skills in trying to motivate my loved one to go to the doctor.
None of the staff seemed to know how to handle these situations. There was someone new who took all of our complaints. There have been personal belongings that have gone missing several times.

Highly recommend
We chose Prairie Hills of Des Moines because they had 2 bedroom apartments available in memory care with a bigger space and a nice outdoor area. It was more like a country setting which we liked. They do not always have the activities that are listed on the calendar which has been a little bit of an issue. Overall I would recommend to others who are looking.

Looks appealing, but look further
My scores are based off of what we saw in the facility before COVID. We chose Prairie Hills because of the location, the layout of the facility, as well as the staff members. The room sizes here are on the smaller side compared to some others we saw. My in-laws have said the food has been an issue, they keep having turnover in chefs, so the food isn't consistent. Turnover does seem to be an issue at the facility, but it might be due to COVID. Overall, I would not recommend at the moment.

It is a very very nice place. The people are very friendly. There are a lot of opportunities for activities. You need to speak up if you feel your loved one needs more help engaging with activities. The food was good. The layout of the community is good. I was very pleased with the room my mom had, it was very spacious.

My Aunt lived here for years and was extremely happy that she was able to stay through her final days. The staff were all so loving to her through all of her life changes. I’m so thankful she found a place she felt like was her final home. I would recommend this building for anyone looking for a place for their loved one.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.
