Scottish Rite Park
Scottish Rite Park offers assisted living, home care, independent living, memory care, residential care and skilled nursing in Des Moines, Iowa. The community opened in 1971 and has private apartments and independent living apartments, giving residents an apartment style setting rather than a shared room. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing and medication while a resident keeps an apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock.
Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. The range of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time, because care can change without leaving the community or starting over socially. Respite care provides a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. Short term rehab provides a temporary setting for someone who needs rehabilitation for a limited period.
Residents can use the heated indoor pool, indoor walking track, fitness center and hot tub or spa for exercise and recreation. Restaurant style dining and chef prepared meals are available, with a bistro or café on site and guests welcome at meals. The art gallery, movie theater and woodworking shop offer places to view art, watch films and work on woodworking projects, while scheduled activities include fitness classes, wellness activities, Tai Chi, bridge, artists’ receptions and resident led events.
Pets are allowed, so a resident can continue living with a pet. A Walk Score of 78 out of 100 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot. A resident who no longer drives can still reach shops, a pharmacy or cafés independently.
