About Holiday Illahee Hills

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Holiday Illahee Hills offers Independent Living, giving residents the freedom to manage their own schedules while having access to support when needed. A speech therapist is available for those who need assistance with communication, providing services on-site so residents do not have to leave the community for routine sessions.

To complement the core Independent Living program, the community maintains a range of medical services within the building. Residents may arrange visits with a massage therapist, dentist, podiatrist, occupational therapist, or physical therapist without traveling off-site. Hospice care is coordinated for those requiring end-of-life support, and a licensed nurse oversees medication management to help residents stay on track with prescriptions and monitor changes in health status.

Apartments include practical features such as cable service, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services that eliminate many day-to-day chores. Not every residence has every feature, so families are encouraged to confirm which services are included with the specific floor plan they select.

Dining is handled by a professional chef who prepares three daily meals plus snacks, all served in a restaurant-style setting. The kitchen can accommodate a wide range of dietary requests, including organic, gluten-free, low or no sodium, no added sugar, vegan, and international cuisine, and visitors can purchase guest meals. An all-day dining option provides flexibility for residents who prefer to eat outside standard meal times.

The campus supports daily living with resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, a barber and beauty shop, internet access throughout the property, communal gardens, a library, and scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.

#1 in Urbandale, IA

Residents and their families say:

This community is highly regarded for its friendliness, cleanliness, variety of amenities, and the quality of its meals. Many reviewers expressed satisfaction with the array of activities available, such as games, outings on the community bus, painting, tai chi, and more, likening the experience to living on a "cruise ship on land". The staff's helpfulness and the sense of community were consistently praised, making residents feel valued and secure. The facility’s proximity to restaurants, shopping centers, and its homely feel, furnished with art and comfortable common areas, contributes to its appeal. Additionally, the community’s safety features, pet-friendly atmosphere, and the provision of three meals a day were highlighted as positive aspects.

However, some concerns were raised regarding the cost, particularly with respect to paying for unused services as part of the all-inclusive pricing model. A few reviewers also indicated issues with staffing, cleanliness, and the quality and variety of meals, noting a decline or lack of consistency at times. The size and the layout of some apartments, as well as the lack of regular appliances in certain units, were points of discontent for a small number of residents. The absence of covered parking or garages and the need for updates in some areas of the facility were also mentioned. Despite these drawbacks, many residents and their families have had positive experiences, recommending the community to others, and appreciating the friendly staff, variety of activities, and the sense of belonging it fosters.
