Youll come across nothing but happy, friendly faces when you walk into this building! The staff is extremely helpful and personable, the residents are welcoming and inviting to anybody walking through the community. The building is well kept and so clean, and it is clear very quickly that lots of love, care, and attention are put into this community by both the staff and the residents. Wonderful place!

I visit this community often and I have to say, they do an incredible job. The staff treats the residents like family, and the residents themselves always have smiles on their faces. The events they hold for the residents and for the public are very entertaining. It is resort style living at its finest. A huge plus Ive noticed is you pay month to month, so theres no contracts or leases. If something comes up, it isnt a huge headache to leave. They just thank you for spending time with them. I almost wish my parents were ready to live here now so theyd be closer to me!

We moved to Glen Meadows 1 1/2 years ago, after living in our WDM home for 52 years, and enjoy everything about it! Meals are fantastic, employees are all very helpful and friendly; many various activities and social times. Our apartment is large and comfortable with excellent maintenance throughout the building. The location is close to all shopping needs, doctors and the interstate. It has everything we need!?? C Jefson

We have tried for many years to get my elderly father into an amenable senior residence, but have met tremendous resistance until he found Glen Meadows, in West Des Moines. He is not only blissfully happy there, but his family is blissfully happy for him!!! It is billed as all inclusive resort style living for seniors. It is not an assisted-living or nursing facility, though they partner with companies who can provide that assistance in their apartments. The staff at Glen Meadows are amazingly wonderful, caring, friendly, supportive people! Although we have contracted with one of the partner agencies for in apartments assistance, the general staff all clearly like and are invested in Dads, happiness, health, and safety. I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful setting this is! The food can only be raved about, truly, and the environment is so open, bright, cheerful, beautiful, and welcoming. They have a guest apartment that can be booked for a nominal fee, for guests of residents, and I avail myself of that as often as possible not only to visit Dad, but to indulge in all that Glen Meadows has to offer everybody!!! Love, love, LOVE this place!!! ??
