Falsely advertising
My loved one is there. The place is clean and well kept. But the care my loved one receives is horrible. They advertise as an assisted living facility and train their staff and tell the residents that are independent and don't help them with much. Yes they will help wash their hair and back. Theirs no incontinence care. Their not available when the residents need them. Only for emergencies. As with that they do not call the family during an emergency. This is falsely advertisement.

Good Community
Everything here has been good so far. Everything is working just fine. Our loved one is enjoying it. The types of people that are in this community are more active and try to keep busy. The location was very good for our family. I would recommend this community to certain people who have specific needs.

Super place. Very homey and nice. Big rooms with bright windows. Residents were very friendly. This is the one that I feel Mom would like the most. Very impressed with services. We chose The Rose for mom. She does seem pleased with her move and is looking forward to making new friends and being closer to family.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Rose of Ames

The Rose of Ames offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Rose of Ames 7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
