The Lodge of Ashworth offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living options. Residents who choose Assisted Living receive help with daily activities while retaining as much autonomy as possible, and those in Independent Living benefit from a maintenance-free lifestyle with access to support if health needs change. The community is prepared to assist residents who live with diabetes, providing monitoring and oversight to help them keep blood sugar levels within physician-directed ranges.
On-site medical services further strengthen the safety net. Licensed nurses oversee medication management, ensuring prescriptions are taken correctly and on schedule. Staff are trained in incontinence care and are available to support residents who need help with mobility or other ambulatory challenges. When needs become more complex, hospice care can be coordinated on the premises, allowing residents to remain in familiar surroundings while receiving end-of-life support.
Accommodations at The Lodge of Ashworth include a selection of apartments that vary in layout and size. Some units feature pet-friendly policies, access to outdoor areas, and dedicated parking, but not every accommodation contains all of these features, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour.
Dining is handled through a meals-provided program that offers three daily dishes planned to meet nutritional guidelines and personal dietary requirements. Staff monitor special diets, including those necessary for diabetes management, to promote consistent health outcomes.
Residents have access to an activity center for everyday recreation and organized events. Clubs and interest-based communities give individuals a structured way to pursue hobbies, and scheduled social outings keep residents connected with West Des Moines and surrounding areas.
