About Walnut Ridge

Walnut Ridge is an assisted living community located in Des Moines, serving older adults who need support with daily activities while valuing their independence. The community offers trained staff assistance with personal care needs, helping residents manage daily routines in a supportive setting. Families considering Walnut Ridge for a parent or partner can expect a residential environment designed around the needs of seniors who benefit from help with tasks such as bathing, dressing, medication management, and mobility, while still maintaining as much autonomy as possible. This level of care suits individuals who no longer feel safe or comfortable living entirely on their own but do not require the more intensive medical oversight found in skilled nursing settings. Those researching options for a loved one are encouraged to contact Walnut Ridge directly to confirm specific details about daily life, dining options, activities, and visiting policies, as well as any accommodations for pets or faith practices. Speaking with the community directly will provide the clearest picture of whether Walnut Ridge is the right fit for a family member's current needs and preferences.

Both of my parents moved to Walnut Ridge from their small hometown in NE Iowa. In the five years they lived there, they experienced all three levels of care: Independent, Assisted and Skilled. We couldn't have made a better choice for them: they made so many friends; the facilities were beautiful (and upgraded along the way); the staff became like family to us! They both recently passed (at 99 years old!). The love and support everyone gave to them (and our family) will be forever cherished.

My mother has lived at Walnut Ridge for 5 years. She was in independent, got ill, and went to the rehab side. The staff worked so hard to get my mother back to her normal self. With exceptional care and grace from the amazing staff, my mother is back to her old self, and ready to get back to her appartment. I can not thank the attentive, caring, knowledgeable staff enough for taking such great care of Mom. We love Walnut Ridge!

My Mother in law was admitted on 9/8 for rehab because she could barely walk and had terrible balance. After only 6 days, she was “assessed” and we were told that she live alone with weekly check ins and that it would be safe because she was moving around so well. We get her home and she took 3 or 4 steps and she was too weak to move any further. I’m not sure who “assessed” her and I even questioned there decision at the time but that proved she was not anywhere close to being safe to return home so we took her back to the hospital. The hospital has even tried multiple times to contact Walnut ridge to obtain information and no response.

I moved my mom from Minnesota to Walnut Ridge in Clive, Iowa last January so she could be closer to my family. While she was sad to leave Minnesota, she felt welcomed by friendly residents and a plethora of activities to choose from. The community is warm, beautiful and inviting. It didn't take her long to adjust. She loved the food and usually brought home half of her dinner for lunch the next day. As she needed more support and care, she eventually moved to the Memory Care neighborhood. I cannot begin to thank the staff enough for their dedication, thoughtfulness, kindness, and overall excellent care they provided her. I will forever be grateful for everything they did for her while she lived there! Thank you!
