I have visited here while looking for a place for my grandfather. If he hadn’t needed a higher level of, I would have moved him in right away. The staff was very friendly and even invited us to stay for lunch so my grandpa could socialize with other resident, Which was really important to our family. The community is nice, And we truly enjoyed meeting both the staff and residents. My grandpa even said he felt like family.

As a moving company that frequently works with senior living communities, we cannot say enough good things about the team at Independence Village of Des Moines. Whether we are moving new residents into the community or helping current residents transition to different apartments internally, Tina, Joel, and the entire crew are a dream to work with. They are masters of communication, always keeping us in the loop so the move goes smoothly for everyone involved. Their dedication to making new and existing residents feel supported is truly impressive. Five stars for a team that really cares
