I am not a person who writes reviews or does surveys however I am taking the time to comment on Rock Creek. My mother Rosetta was one who never wanted to go into assisted living instead she wanted to stay with one of her 3 sons. When she visited Rock Creek to see a friend, she was pretty impressed with everyone. When it became clear that Rosetta could not be left at home we know she needed someone around 24/7. Rock Creek was her first choice. After being there about a year her health declined as she was 96 years old. That was when she told me she was where she needed to be. Many of the others always were asking "When can I go home". Rosetta never asked as she knew she was home and where she needed to be. She loved the staff and the girls she had meals with. If you are looking for a place for your mom Rock Creek is a place she would call home to.

Assisted Memory Care at Rock Creek is a very comfortable and homey environment. They have fun events planned for residents, including bus trips around town, live music, visits from daycare children, arts and crafts, and celebrations with tasty treats. The staff members are very caring and respectful to the residents. Dignity is always at the forefront of every conversation, every decision, and every action with residents and family members. Someone from my family is there visiting our loved one every day, and the staff treats us very well. We have full and constant access to our loved one. If your loved one needs Memory Care, go visit Rock Creek.

My daughter and I met with Ashley Zinnel regarding placement for my 78 year old mother. I want to be transparently honest when I say that I've never met a more outgoing, caring, and professionally compassionate person than Ashley Zinnel. We spent almost two hours touring the Ankeny facility. If you want the highest quality care possible, while you or your loved one lives in an immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, community based environment with wonderfully sweet residents, and competently trained staff, please make sure Rock Creek is first on your list! They are not about the money and it was obvious when I spoke with several of the residents that they love living there! A resident committee is in place to see that activities the residents want or after interested in go on the monthly calendar of activities, along with the help of an outstanding sweet and energetic activies coordinator. After our tour I was unsure of my mother's medical status since she was in the hospital at the time of my tour. Therefore, Ashely was super about touching base with me every couple of days. Ashley is such a ray of sunshine, she's sweet, caring, compassionate, and so genuinely concerned about what was happening with my mom and how I was coping with things. She has gone well above and beyond trying to do anything and everything possible to help my mom and make Rock Creek her new home. I could not have been more impressed with this place and their staff, which included their medical team. If you're looking for a place where your mom or dad can be cared for, treated with dignity, and respect Rock Creek is the place to go! This is a true 5 star facility in every way!

The memory care unit is the absolute #1 best that I have seen in my time doing this work. The dining services also take the #1 spot. They have a restaurant called Seven Houses and I've never seen such an amazing service offered to seniors. If anyone is looking at options for their loved one, I highly recommend this establishment.

The staff is incredible. My loved one has been at other facilities and Rock Creek is far and away the best place for my loved one. I know she is cared for by a team of expert nurses and a staff of amazing people care for her individual needs on a daily basis. My mind is at ease when I'm away. Don't be turned off my the institutional feel of the inside, it really is an amazing, comfy, home for your loved one.
