Fort Des Moines Senior Housing sits at 505 Army Post Road in Des Moines, Iowa, in the Fort Des Moines neighborhood, and aims to offer seniors a simple, comfortable place to live with plenty of useful features, including cable TV for $30 a month, washers and dryers, WiFi, and high-speed internet. Apartments come with full kitchens or kitchenettes, which means each unit has a glass-top stove, dishwasher, microwave, full-size refrigerator, and even a garbage disposal, and if needed, housekeepers and laundry services are available to help with chores or cleaning, and maintenance services are on hand for repairs. The building has three stories with a total of 60 apartments, which breaks down to 6 two-bedrooms at 962 square feet, and 54 one-bedrooms at 640 square feet, all with geothermal heating and cooling and 100% handicap accessibility-so moving around isn't a problem if someone uses a walker or wheelchair.
The property includes many areas for community and activity, like an activities room, dining room, game space, community and computer rooms, library, an indoor pool, a fitness center, and underground garages, and guest parking is provided, though there's no clear information about parking details. Residents can join in on social events, arts and crafts, educational programs, wellness activities, and weekly outings to banks, grocery stores, or churches. Meals are provided each day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and dining services are available to meet basic food needs. Fort Des Moines Senior Housing covers different levels of care such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, and dementia care, and personal care assistants can help with daily needs. There are on-site management services, apartment locating help, building and grounds upkeep, and the rent covers utilities.
Safety gets real attention, too, with fire and smoke detection, a sprinkler system, and safety or handicap features throughout. The team offers transportation for shopping trips, medical appointments, or errands, providing extra support when driving isn't possible. The whole place is managed by Keyway Management Company, LLC, and gives affordable rental options for seniors, including seniors who want to stay active and involved with their community. The property fits into a region with legal protections for LGBTQ people under Iowa and federal law. While there's no information on whether pets are allowed, or details about what each rent covers for utilities, or about things like building layout, levels, or interior finishes, the focus stays on affordable, safe, and accessible senior living in the Des Moines area. The community wasn't listed for sale or rent on major sites at last check, and there aren't details about specialized services, but it does have basic features like telephone readiness, high-speed internet, and on-site dining, and aims to make life easier and more independent for seniors who want to live on their own yet have some services and safety measures in place.
