About The Lodge of Ashworth

from Oasis Senior Advisors

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.

#1 in West Des Moines, IA

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered praise for its friendly and accommodating staff, the variety of amenities offered, and the spaciousness and cleanliness of its apartments. Reviewers were particularly impressed by the community's effort to meet residents' needs, including adaptive measures for activities and personalized apartment modifications. The presence of an indoor pool, a library, banking facilities, and a variety of social activities, alongside the ability to choose meal options, contributes to a comfortable and engaging environment. Furthermore, the grounds are described as beautifully landscaped, offering both aesthetic pleasure and spaces for social interaction.

However, some reviewers highlighted concerns, notably the food quality and specific dietary accommodations, which did not meet the expectations of some residents and their families. The reported inconsistency in meal quality and the lack of attention to dietary restrictions were points of dissatisfaction. Additionally, the pricing model, particularly the buy-in requirement, was confusing for some prospective residents, and the facility's older, somewhat dated interiors were noted by visitors, despite ongoing renovations. While these concerns were mentioned, the positive attributes, such as the community's proactive approach to resident comfort and safety, especially during the pandemic, and the extensive amenities designed to encourage an active and social lifestyle, were recurrent themes in the feedback.
