Luther Park Community

Luther Park Community sits in a quiet residential spot on the east side of Des Moines and offers care for seniors at different stages, so you have independent living for folks who want to do things on their own, but they also help with daily tasks if you need that, and there's skilled nursing and memory care programs for Alzheimer's and other types of dementia too. The apartments come in several sizes, from studios to two bedrooms, and the assisted living option, Rose Glen at The Gardens, even gives you five different apartment choices, including lofts. For long-term nursing care and skilled care, they have Trinity Center, which specializes in both short-term rehab and ongoing support, and there's a special program for memory care, also at Trinity Center, with staff and a space built for residents who need extra structure and safety. You get what you need to live as independently as possible, though there are always staff around and a team who focus on resident safety and personalized care. The building has three stories, with things to do like a library, exercise room, outdoor spaces, a hair salon, and there's transportation to take residents on outings or appointments, so you don't have to drive. The place is pet friendly, so people can have their pets. Luther Park Community serves people aged 62 and up in independent living, and there's an "independent plus" option for folks who still want their own place but need a little help now and then. They provide meals that are nutritious, there are group activities and opportunities for residents to spend time together, and the organization runs as a non-profit, so the focus is on care, not profit. People in Des Moines often choose this place for its range of services and reliable care, since the staff work hard to make the environment nurturing and safe, whether someone needs a lot of help or just a little.
