Generations Have Called This Home
Empowered, engaged, and collaborative. For decades, these words have been used to describe the individuals who call The Village "home." We are accustomed to greeting loved ones whose grandparents and parents were residents right here in our community. Team members are also part of our history, with several having been with us for more than 20 years and some who are now residents. What sets us apart?
- A unique relationship with Simpson College, where residents can take classes and attend cultural events
- An emphasis on wellness that goes beyond physical exercise
- A full continuum of care, with priority access for our residents
Welcome to
The Village!
The Village’s beautiful, walkable acres are tucked into a quiet neighborhood near Simpson College in Indianola, just south of the Des Moines metropolitan area. Through its relationship with the highly regarded Simpson, the community’s residents can access an array of sporting events, classes, cultural and creative arts, and amenities including tennis and pickleball courts. Residents of The Village live vibrant, active lives and support the greater community in a number of ways, and our team members routinely create for our residents opportunities to pursue joy in all they do. Schedule your tour today; we’d love to welcome you to The Village!

Care to head over to campus?
Our relationship with Simpson College is unique and runs deeply through our community. The college is just a two-block walk away, and residents can audit classes at no charge. They use the college's tennis courts and appreciate music performances by vocal and instrumental artists and ensembles. Plus, many retired professors and their spouses make The Village their home.
