The Rose Senior Living Communities

I have and my mom has had a good experience with the staff and residents of The Rose.

I would recommend to others. They have been very helpful. We picked this community because it's a very nice, and friendly community.

Some meals are okay, some are pretty mediocre. Overall the cleanliness of the building is good, but the laundry rooms are kind of trashed. The nursing staff and maintenance guy are wonderful. Administrator is pretty good, I think she is getting more comfortable in her job and that helps pretty much. I do realize this is an assisted living and expect to pay for the extras, but the rent alone is pretty high I think.

The Rose of Council Bluffs is a very nice, spacious and well laid out community. The administrator has been wonderful to work with so far. At the moment we do not believe our loved one is taking advantage of the activities but we do know they have a lot to offer. We would recommend this community to others families searching for their loved ones.

My mom is so happy at the Rose. When at home she was closing herself off from people, now she is involved in the activities. I am impressed with the cleanliness of the entire place. The staff is always very friendly, and say hello as we come to visit. I would definitely recommend The Rose to anyone looking for a place to call home, because that is what it is HOME!

Mom really liked this place. It was warm and inviting and she liked the location because it is close to an area that she is familiar with. The apartments are beautiful and clean and the windows let a lot of light in. She likes how the grounds look with a sidewalk that she can walk around the building for exercise and still be safe. [Name removed] the manager was awesome and very helpful. I feel so good knowing that there are people the 24/7 in case my mom needs help. Like how they have a system of checking on residents to make sure they’re ok. We are filling out an application for her to move there!!

I am happy for the care that is received from this community. The staff are caring and attentive to the residents. The menu offers alot of healthy meals that she is enjoying. The activities are helpful for her to participate with the other residents. She is happy here and she choose this comunity to call home. We would recommend this community for the care and value for a loved one.

I was given the name of the rose of Des Moines and contacted them for vacancies to place my father in assisted-living there are actually two Rose of Des Moines and the Rose of Des Moines east. They had vacancies in the Rose of Des Moines east. Everything seem to move very smooth and the administrator worked very fast on getting my father placed I appreciate all the work they put into it and we were able to move my dad in in the middle of the month it is very nice facility and he is very happy there

Everything has worked out wonderful for my mother in law here at this community. She has adjusted very well to it, and we are satisfied. The staff have been great, they are really helpful and attentive. She has tired a few of the activities they offered. She loves the food, the meals are nice. They have lovely family events too include the families. They are providing her with good care. I would highly recommend this community.

The Rose of Waterloo is going well. So far she is very happy with everything. I haven't heard any complaints. She is just overall happy with everything there.

We are very happy with The Rose of East Des Moines. They are clean and the staff is very friendly. We thought the medicaid thing would be easier to do, that has added a little extra expense. The nurses are fantastic, the care is great. The activities have a really great variety, Wii Bowling, card games all different things like that. There have been no complaints about the food. The paperwork processing had a lot of delay in the beginning, and we had to stay in a hotel for over a month. We liked the location, and the outside was really well kept and cheerful with a lot of garden space, and very appealing. The other places looked very dark, not very encouraging. This is the perfect median for anyone in that in between stage of independent and assisted living.

Very nice place to live with very nice welcoming people. Meals are good if needed. Great activities and socializing opportunities

Super place. Very homey and nice. Big rooms with bright windows. Residents were very friendly. This is the one that I feel Mom would like the most. Very impressed with services. We chose The Rose for mom. She does seem pleased with her move and is looking forward to making new friends and being closer to family.

The staff are nice and helpful. My mother in law is enjoying some of the daily activities offered. The food is good and they offer god sized portions. They do keep the community clean. I would recommend this community.

Everything here has been good so far. Everything is working just fine. Our loved one is enjoying it. The types of people that are in this community are more active and try to keep busy. The location was very good for our family. I would recommend this community to certain people who have specific needs.

My father-in-law lived at this facility for seven months before he passed. It wasn't fancy but it was well cared for and he was as happy here as he could have been at that stage of life. The independent apartments are nicely laid out, private and quiet. He liked the meals, although there are always some that people don't like. I came in from Chicago regularly to visit and was happy to see how well cared for he was. Staff were responsive, caring and helpful.

There are a couple of things we like about The Rose of Council Bluffs. 1. The location. At first it appears to be somewhat secluded but it makes for a very quiet/peaceful neighborhood environment. There are convenient shops and restaurants relatively close and almost all of them deliver to include groceries like Hy-Vee 2. The independence/freedom to come and go. I really had no idea what to expect but now that my dad has moved in, he is able to come and go as he pleases. Additionally, the apartment space is fantastic. Easy to navigate and is very spacious

It's a nice place to live. I like that I have my privacy. The staff is friendly, and I get along with them pretty well. I do think some of their equipment needs updating. For instance, some of the washers don't work. But maintenance is wonderful and very helpful. And the administrator is great. They offer lots of things to do in the mornings and afternoons, and the girl who leads the activities is very nice.

We toured this community for the care for my mother in law. We found the staff to be helpful with the questions we had. The activities would have been helpful for her to participate. We would recommend this community for the care of a loved one.

It is not a large place and the care is better from our experience. My mom is doing fine and enjoying the community. All is going good from what I notice and she has been provided a companion once a week. They are getting along very well and they enjoy the same activities. They like to walk and get out an go, they plan little activities. Participation is getting encouraged here. I would recommend them.
