What this means for your family
While the facility is physically beautiful and modern, the reports of delayed emergency response times and inconsistent hygiene are major red flags. I strongly recommend you ask for a specific breakdown of staffing ratios during nights and weekends and request a tour that includes observing how staff respond to call lights.

13 reviews on Google“Suites of Ankeny is a modern, visually appealing facility that receives praise for its clean, home-like environment and peaceful outdoor pond area. However, serious concerns regarding basic care standards, such as infrequent hygiene assistance and delayed response times to emergency alerts, have been reported by family members. Prospective families should weigh the facility's aesthetic appeal against these significant reports of inconsistent care and poor communication.”

Key Review Excerpts
“A staff member even told me that my mother laid on the floor after a fall for an hour after pushing her alert button before anyone came to help her. Rarely would anyone answer the front desk phone.”
“The building itself is modern, clean, and beautifully designed, while the apartments feel warm, comfortable, and truly home-like rather than institutional.”
“Suites of Ankeny is a beautiful, modern-looking facility with extremely caring staff. It is adjacent to an outdoor fenced-in pond area where residents can sit outdoors observing nature in peace.”
