Recent reviews for independent living in Millerton

Addington Place of Des Moines

4.8
Mom's been in the memory care wing for a couple of months now. She is getting along very well. Seems like she's not getting out of her room as much as I thought they would. I don't know how mom responds to them though. She does like it there. She enjoys the food and doesn't want for anything.

Homestead of Knoxville Assisted Living

5.0

Edencrest at The Legacy in Norwalk, IA

5.0
When Mom was there, the staff was awesome. They did a fantastic job. The staffing has changed since then, so I can't say now. But I would say to check them out. It seemed like she was home. Her dementia escalated quickly, so she was only there for a month, but [names removed] were like family.
