My experience with them was great, however my mother moved herself out & is responsible for her own care. I would recommend them.

This is the first facility that I visited, so I don’t have anything to compare it to. The Staff was very friendly and professional. The facility was very nice and clean and no odors. Residents were friendly and they had activity going on I think history trivia. The building is a little bit older. The assisted living has just recently been remodeled, but not independent living . The location is in a really nice neighborhood with a park nearby and good access to Hickman Rd. and I-35. Great Communication and follow-up from the sales staff. It is definitely a possibility! Something that I didn’t care for independent living is two buildings so residents that live across the street have to walk over for every meal. The day I was there. It was very cold so they were getting bundled up with their coats and hats and walkers after lunch to walk back across the parking to their building.

Our families experience

Overall experience – 5 – friendly; very quick response time for each resident if they ring their call button; accommodating; Staff have a long tenure; [Name Removed]– head of nursing clearly runs his team well and creates a positive environment. Friendliness – 5 – smiles on faces; staff actually talk to us when we visit (not the case with other places we’ve been). Quality of Care – 4 a. One incident in which our mom fell did not get shared with us for 40+_ hours. She wasn’t hurt. However, this is a person who had had quite a few falls before hand so a fall should have prompted an immediate call. It occurred on a weekend, and the nurse on duty didn’t report it to the head nurse. I am concerned they don’t have strong procedures for events with the residents for escalating medical situations. b. Overall staff is wonderful. I’ve seen one or two individuals who have less than positive attitude with other residents. That being said the quality of care still is very good. Everyone has a bad day. c. Everyone is friendly and willing to engage in conversation. We visited several places and some places the care givers barely talk to you, never mind actually smile occasionally. Administrative Staff – 5 – nothing but positive feedback; friendly; caring Food – no opinion – we visit outside of meal time and our mom doesn’t really share her view of it. Activities – 5 very positive; LOTS of choices; Mom is always busy and the system ‘life loop’ keeps us informed of what she does and does not partake in. Value for the money – 4 or 5 – the services provided for the memory unit are wonderful.

This is our family's experience

Woodlands Creek deserves a 5! Many on staff have been with Woodlands for years, that says a lot. They actually care about the residents. My Mom recently had a bad fall and the Woodlands staff went out of their way to be helpful to our family, which included delivering food to her apartment for us when needed. The facility is clean and well maintained. Activities are plentiful, residents can be as busy as they choose. There are church services available every Sunday. Dining has plenty of options, and my Mom always says " I didn't have to cook it or clean up after". The apartments are spacious and the staff does a great job maintaining them. The residents especially enjoy the soft serve ice cream and espresso machines available to all 24-7. My Mom who is almost 96, has formed very close friendships in the year and a half she's been a resident. She is very grateful to be there. There is a real sense of community and new residents would find welcoming. A Place for Mom was so very helpful to our family in choosing the right facility for her, she says "we did good"!

Peace of mind

From day one, we felt welcomed. The team is compassionate and responsive, and maintenance handles requests quickly. The grounds and facilities are always neat, clean, and inviting. Even though my dad doesn’t participate in many activities, it’s reassuring to know they offer a variety of options for residents. He truly enjoys the meals — and he never complains about the food, which says a lot. Most of all, the staff is always willing to answer questions and provide support. We highly recommend this community.

Best decision we could make!

They went out of their way to make move in go smoothly. I feel comfortable leaving my 95 year old mother in this facility. It's very family oriented and keeps families involved with their loved ones. One of the deciding factors for my mom is they have a Catholic service available weekly. Another thing is there is plenty to do, they keep seniors busy as they want to be. Apartment sizes are good, at least my mom's is. I haven't been in other apartments. The residents are super friendly, but that's Iowa for you.

It's Like a Huge Hug!

5s for all of them. It was such a smooth transition for her. The staff are Very conscientious, low turnover, on our tour there were a lot of nurses around and they stopped and talked to us. Mom calls them her friends. I noticed they have a couple of empty units in assisted living the last time I was there. They are renovating right now and it looks so nice!

As described

Nice place, good people, the feedback on the meals is positive. Cost is comparable to similar facilities in the area, but not reasonable to 80+ year olds that have scrimped and saved their whole life. Actual assistance costs extra, which is par for assisted living, but still a confusing additional cost. A very important factor is distance to meals and the exit, when mobility is limited.

It's acceptable. But has room for improvement!

There is no certified nurse overnight just 1 cna. Sometimes mom has gotten the wrong meds at night. At least she knows what she takes so she could correct them. Sometimes they don't get her meal order if she stays in her room so she doesn't get a meal. You cannot sit at any table at meal time. It is assigned seats. Meals take a long time to get your order and a long time to get the food. The menu is often different than what they serve. Food just needs help! Very spicy sometimes.

Review from a Resident

I have lived at Woodlands Creek Senior Living villas for five years, and I could not be happier with my choice. The location is perfect…close to the Greenbelt Trail for pleasant walks, with shopping and restaurants nearby, plus one of Iowa’s leading medical complexes only a couple blocks away. The Woodlands Creek facilities are well-maintained by caring employees who keep residents active and entertained (special thanks to [name removed], the Independent Living Director). Woodlands Creek provides the right balance of amenities and lifestyle for older adults whether independent or seeking more care.

Worry free apartment living.

From the time we visited until the time we moved mom in the staff were amazing! She has a beautiful apartment and dining, nursing, maintenance, and business departments handle everything she needs. They come and get her garbage every day, her laundry every week, and they even brought her a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup when she fell asleep and missed dinner one night. I don’t worry anymore!

Has room for improvement. Recommend with hesitation

Areas of improvements - Better trained staff that are more professional, smaller dining tables like mostly 2&4 tops so people can hear each other, regular exercise classes that aren't canceled or scheduled during breakfast hours, better pest control. We appreciate the transportation service provided. The food is not good and the activities are often canceled at the last minute. The rooms are lovely

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.
