Friendly direct care staff, poor administration
Apartment size was good. There were some hiccups when he first moved in and he didn't get a shower for 3 weeks. Direct care staff were very nice and treated him well. They were very overworked. Nice facility, food was decent. They did a great job in his final days giving him morphine regularly. When he passed away didn't hear anything from Administration, made me feel like they only cared about money.

Great place to visit.
I just toured the community last month. The sales director, [name removed], was very accommodating and took the time to answer all of my questions and help go into details about things that I never even thought to ask. She was very knowledgeable about senior living. I got to meet a lot of the management and care team while on my tour. They were very nice and took the time to stop to talk with me. The residents were so nice to talk with and had nothing but great things to say about the community and the staff. The lunch in memory care looked and smelled amazing, the community was clean, smelled great and made me feel at home. The location was beautiful inside and out.

Hidden Gem
Addington Place of Des Moines is a Hidden Gem. We love how beautiful the scenery is around the building. Staff are wonderful. Food is good and love how they even offer Happy Hour. We are so Happy we found Addington Place. My Grandma was really nervous about moving to a new place but she is settling in so well. She really enjoys all the activities.

.Seek a better place.
Sorry, but this place is not great. If they had an administrative team where the director didn't hire all of her "friends," then it might be better. All of the residents complain about the food. Unless their Dementia is so bad they don't care. My loved one refuses to go to meals.

Addington Place Was a Great Choice for my Mother
The facility itself, and the resident rooms are very nice. The staff I have observed are very caring, and they work hard to plan activities for the residents inside and outside of the facility. My mother's primary care nurse practitioner sees her at the facility, so she doesn't have to travel, except for any specialists she needs to see.

We found our happily ever after at Addington
[name removed] at the facility is wonderful and will accommodate all requests/needs. The residents all look so wonderful and speaking with many to see what they truly felt about Addington, they all said they loved it. It is a very clean place and the staff and people are so joyful. There are activities all the time and the residents are all friends and visit with each other. It is really a beautiful atmosphere they have built at Addington.

Mom is thriving at Addington Place
The Addington staff have been nothing but positive, helpful, and engaged when we have requested information or asked questions. During visits, we can clearly see the staff interaction with mom, and they are always caring, patient, and kind. My mom is said to be a "model" resident, so I cannot speak to how they might handle a more challenging resident, but I've seen nothing that would lead me to believe it would be anything different. Finally, a majority of the other residents are so open and welcoming to new comers. Since her transition to Addington Mom's mobility and energy has definitely improved!

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.

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.

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:

  • Know Iowa’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
