About Brown Deer Place

A large landscaped lawn leads up to the neoclassical building of Brown Deer Place. Hand-carved pieces rest on the black brick fireplace bringing warmth to seniors in individual living, memory care, and respite care. The home-like community is less than 5 miles from the World's Largest Wooden Nickel, the Antique Car Museum of Iowa, and an over 200-acre golf course. Veterans with VA Aid may be eligible for benefits.…

Steady Improvement and Involved Admin Offer Great Promise

Changed management companies in early 2025, steady improvements made ever since. New administration is caring and approachable, very aware of challenges and humbly open to reports of shortcomings. By [Date Removed] nearly all previous staff has been replaced by competent, caring individuals who are genuinely concerned for residents. Admin are working hard to fill out the rest of the staff with similar people. I have confidence that the upward trend will continue.

Highly recommended

Honestly, we would rate them a 5 for everything. I know there are things that could improve, but for the cost that she's paying, we really could not find anything that we could afford so we are just happy with what we have!! She is low income and having a clean, warm place that is secure with amazing customer service.

Lots of positive changes

I toured this community 2 years ago and came back with my dad just last [date removed]. Wow what great improvements. The entire feel of the facility was so much brighter. The new management and staff have really done an amazing job at creating a welcoming environment.
