A Forest Oasis for Seniors Next to the Stunning Lake Easter
Prairie Hills Des Moines sits tucked into the forest area of Southeast Des Moines, Iowa. Residents spend time walking the secured outdoor paths, playing pool in the parlor, and enjoying sundaes and milkshakes at the in-house ice cream bar. Whether seniors are there for independent, assisted, memory, or respite care living, all residents are treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
The center understands how important it is to approach the health of residents from a well-rounded mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical philosophy, developing its programs, activities, and offerings around those pillars. Residents can choose from various activities every day. Yoga, the Live2BHealthy program, and trail walks are available for those looking to move more. Seniors who are more artistic or creative might enjoy the painting, music, and drumming programs; there’s also fan-favorite — movie night.

Our family had an in person tour and it was not a bad tour experience at all
We really appreciate the friendliness of the staff members and how they always introduce themselves and they are always willing to answer every questions we have.
I would say that right now is not a good time to put your loved one in a home. everyone is so short staffed that it is not going well.
It's a good location. The residents seem to get whatever freedom they want or need. The facility offers a good amount of activities. Sometimes the staff can be al little big difficult. But other than that, it seems to be a good place.

I would tell others not to put your loved one here. There was an incident when my loved one was taken to the hospital to see if they had a fractured foot. The community didn't call me, it ended up being the hospital that ended up calling me. There was a leaking toilet, nothing saying it was wet or a way to clean it up on the floor. The community didn't tell us why my loved one wasn't using the bathroom and ended up getting their own shoes dirty. The community takes the residents to doctor appointments. The eye appointment was canceled a few times due to the community not taking my loved one to the doctor. They lack in skills in trying to motivate my loved one to go to the doctor. None of the staff seemed to know how to handle these situations. There was someone new who took all of our complaints. There have been personal belongings that have gone missing several times.
