Awesome experience working with A Place for Mom.

It's a very nice place. I'm hearing their food is not always the best. It's like a senior living apartment and you add amenities you need for cost beyond your rent. You can add up to 2 meals a day, house cleaning, laundry, meds set up, shower assistance, Media Monkey. It's very clean and grounds well kept. Pleasant employees.

our families experience

I think I said before that I would not recommend the Rose of Ames to anybody. Our experience there just was not what we thought it was going to be. I think the day-to-day staff that work with the residence were good. They did a good job, but to me, the administration did not. I felt they were condescending and uncaring. Overall, the place was clean they provided activities. I don't think there were any complaints about the food there. I honestly don't remember that either way so the problem was if you need any type of assistance, you're not gonna get it there unless you pay extra. And if you fall too many times or anything like that, they end up apparently making you go somewhere else anyway so it's a little bit of a stressful environment and not at all what we thought it was gonna be.

Not what we hoped for

It wasn't the best experience. Most likely a result of misunderstanding the level of care or response given. There were also instances of different answers given depending on who you spoke with. The staff were nice people, the place was nice too. The lead nursing administration seemed to not truly care about health and safety although she said that was what mattered.

Satisfied

Communication with the administration has been a little difficult. It's hard to get answers or at least time answers. Otherwise it's a great place. I would recommend

Falsely advertising

My loved one is there. The place is clean and well kept. But the care my loved one receives is horrible. They advertise as an assisted living facility and train their staff and tell the residents that are independent and don't help them with much. Yes they will help wash their hair and back. Theirs no incontinence care. Their not available when the residents need them. Only for emergencies. As with that they do not call the family during an emergency. This is falsely advertisement.

Good Community

Everything here has been good so far. Everything is working just fine. Our loved one is enjoying it. The types of people that are in this community are more active and try to keep busy. The location was very good for our family. I would recommend this community to certain people who have specific needs.

Super place. Very homey and nice. Big rooms with bright windows. Residents were very friendly. This is the one that I feel Mom would like the most. Very impressed with services. We chose The Rose for mom. She does seem pleased with her move and is looking forward to making new friends and being closer to family.

  • 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.
