    Mostly positive some staffing issues

    I moved my mother into a beautiful, new 1800+ sq ft three-bedroom apartment - she's more engaged and eating better, the kitchen is nicer than her prior home, and the room is clean. Staff are mostly friendly, helpful and attentive to special needs; the grounds and buildings are pleasant and activities are varied with welcoming residents, though she still has trouble meeting peers. Downsides: dining hours are 4-7 PM (most leave by ~6:15), the food is bland, and the place feels understaffed with some poorly trained/unfriendly admin and policies that aren't readily available.

Health services cover things like wound care, medication reminders, bathing, dressing, and exercises, and there's adult day care and adult day health support for those who want a home-like spot with rehab and social help during the day. The network's strong on helping maintain independence with comfortable amenities like Wi-Fi, accessibility for wheelchairs, support for pets, and choices to match your changing needs, and you find an intergenerational feel, spiritual offerings, and creative arts among the meaningful experiences. Wesley Des Moines operates as a nonprofit rooted in the Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Methodist Church, focusing on dignity, faith, and community, and they've gotten recognition with awards like Best of Senior Living for the quality care, friendliness, and welcoming environment, but mostly the place stands out because residents have so many paths to age well, stay engaged, and live how they want, whether that's quiet independent living or more hands-on memory care.
