“The range of opportunities here is outstanding. I can tend to my own deck garden, play pinochle with friends, take water aerobics and other fitness classes and I even take a creative writing class. Living at Judson Park has really enhanced my quality of life.”

“We wanted to leave behind the yardwork and house work – that’s no fun. Here, we leave that to someone else and do things we enjoy like drama club, games, choir, golf and just enjoying the friendly, fun people. We love Des Moines and the views we have here are beautiful. It’s just a happy place.”

“There’s a real family atmosphere here. I tend to my garden, sing in the choir and spend time volunteering at The Grove memory care center. I get to see the quality of care at The Grove first hand, and it’s comforting to know great health care is right here if I ever need it.”

“My mother and aunt both lived here and I saw how much they enjoyed it. From visiting them, I felt really at home here and knew I would move here one day. The different levels of care available are very comforting to have. With all the social events, fitness classes, and brain health activities available, there are just so many different ways to feel good.”

“At our age, George and I had always planned to be under the same roof. I know he is well taken care of and even though he sleeps in The Grove and I sleep in The Lodge, I can spend as much time with him as I’d like. The Best Friends at The Grove know me well and care about me as much as they care about George. I feel very secure knowing that the Judson Park team is looking after us.”

“When I first moved to Judson Park, I thought the gorgeous views were the single most outstanding thing about the community. However, I’ve come to realize that having continuing care right here if I ever need it is the most important thing about living here. That said, we’re fortunate to have an apartment with a fabulous view of the Sound and the Olympics.”
