The Lindens at Green Hills sits in the 50014 neighborhood of Ames, Iowa, near the corner of Hamilton Dr and Hamilton Cir, and you'll notice right away that the place tries to fit as many services and comforts for seniors as it can into a mid-rise building with both apartments for rent or sale. There's a focus on senior living here, and the team calls things what they are-like assisted living, memory care, independent living, nursing home-level care, and skilled nursing-and folks can find apartments that range from studios to one or two bedrooms, with floor plans coming in sizes like 536, 644, 816, or 1,489 square feet, and usually units have one or two bedrooms, their own bathrooms, phones, and different furnishing options, which is nice because you get both privacy and shared spaces if you want.
The community keeps things comfortable and safe for seniors by offering all sorts of supports, like 24-hour staff available for help, emergency response systems in the rooms, wheelchair accessibility, and help with activities like bathing, dressing, and taking medicine, and there's a focus on non-ambulatory care to help people who don't get around so easily anymore. The Lindens offers a memory care neighborhood called The Garden for people with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, so families can know their loved ones are in a space set up for their needs, and staff use programs like cognitive enrichment to help keep folks' minds active.
Comfort means more than just help, though, and The Lindens includes a dining space called The Green Hills Bistro where you can get meal options for special diets like diabetes or allergies, and services like meal preparation, laundry, and housekeeping cut down on daily chores. Residents can enjoy a beauty salon, a spa and wellness center, a fitness room, and a library, and you'll find daily social activities, arts and crafts, movie nights, community events, and resident-run groups, with both indoor and outdoor spaces like landscaped gardens, walking paths, a resort-style courtyard, and even pet-friendly policies for people who don't want to give up their pets.
For health, there's on-site medical help, medication management, and skilled nursing oversight, plus rehab and home care if needed, so you've got both long-term care and short-term help in the same setting. They run spiritual and wellness programs, a concierge desk, transportation services, and plenty of security features like emergency alert systems and innovative technology for safety, and they have a special focus on letting people keep their independence as much as possible, with a care team that's trained to respect each person's choices and way of life.
The Lindens at Green Hills has a walk score of 19 so people usually need a car, and the place is not far from area schools like Kate Mitchell Elementary, Ames Middle, and Ames High School. You'll find the facility open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and room layouts that include both private and shared options, with apartment homes that look modern and follow an elegant, resort-style design.
