Beaver & Adams Senior Apartments is a 55+ senior living community in the Beaverdale neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa, and it's been around since 1986, so folks know it's steady and settled, and you'll find apartment homes with one, two, or even three bedrooms and a mix of bathroom options, which makes it easier to find something that fits just right, and some homes have big decks overlooking the neighborhood or even brand new floors throughout. The building has elevators for easy access, controlled entry for safety, and garages available for residents. You'll see a landscaped courtyard with patio furniture and spots for grilling, and there's a community room where people can use the billiards table, play ping pong, tinker with the piano, or watch something on the television, and that same room gets used for social activities organized by staff aimed at keeping everyone active and involved.
There's a fitness area, an on-site salon, and laundry facilities on the second and third floors along with washer and dryer hookups in many homes, so laundry is convenient whether folks like to do it in their apartment or use the shared machines, and everything in the building is smoke-free for a cleaner living experience. The apartments come with all kitchen appliances and living rooms, plus DIRECTV is included, so there's always something to watch. Services here include independent living for active folks, along with memory care and assisted living for those who need help with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, and there's a resident services coordinator as well as trained, friendly staff to assist when needed. The staff makes a real effort to set up activities, games, and programs that help residents stay social, learn new things, and make friends, all while helping people keep up a good quality of life.
You won't have pets here, since the community doesn't allow cats or dogs of any size, but you'll get community spaces, comfortable lounges, and options to join in on whatever's happening, or just relax in your own apartment. Floor plans range from one bedroom and one bath up to three bedrooms and two baths, and the building has elevator access to make movement simple. Security comes from controlled access doors, making it safer compared to regular apartments, and on-site maintenance handles problems any time of day. Pricing details aren't listed, but the community says it's designed to be affordable for independent seniors. The Beaverdale location in Des Moines puts residents near local spots, so running errands or seeing visitors isn't hard. This place aims to keep seniors active, healthy, and safe, with enough options for support, based on what folks need as they age.
