CriticalIndependence Village of Ankeny
It wasn't a great experience. He didn't take not need to be in memory care, his physician even said he didn't. They refused to move him out. I'm sure because they were making [removed] a month from him. He was far too high functioning to be stuck in there all day. We would go multiple times a week and each time all the staff were just sitting around in a group talking to each other instead of doing things to actually keep the residents occupied.

PositiveIndependence in Ankeny Has Delivered Better Than Expected And It's Home
The staff is amazing & my mom has been wonderfully cared for. She says the food is hit or miss but there has been a few chefs since she got there.

The only downside is there has been a lot of turnover but I feel like that happens at all facilities.

Critical. My families experience
The administration turnover is quite high. The food is prepared by a cook, not a chef. If your loved one requires special care, make sure you're checking up on it. My mother required special care for wounds and was not receiving it.

PositiveReview for Independence Village of Ankeny
The facility is amazing. It is very clean & the staff is very nice. They treat my mom so good. There has been a lot of staff turnover since my mom moved in one year ago which gets confusing & frustrating l. However when we have questions we get a response asap and the executive is working hard to get the communication running smoother. The aids that help my mom are wonderful. They treat her with kindness & care. My mom isn't a huge fan of the food but there has also been about 4 chefs since she moved in so her opi…
