Assisted Living in Des Moines: Communities Spotlight

Finding the right assisted living in Des Moines, Iowa, can greatly improve your loved one’s health and quality of life. Assisted living offers similar benefits and amenities to independent living, such as fitness classes, community programming, exceptional food, and often access to a pool, fitness center, or community garden. 

Living in a community that offers assisted living helps your loved one maintain (or increase) their independence by supporting them with activities of daily living. This can decrease stress, help them achieve their health goals, and minimize the need to lean on friends and family for help.
