Suites of Ankeny
Suites of Ankeny offers assisted living, and independent living in Ankeny, IA. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Independent living is designed for private living with community services and no daily care.
Because several care levels are available, a resident whose needs change may be able to move to a different level of care without leaving the community. The community has 68 beds, with one bedroom and two bedroom housing. A two bedroom residence can suit a couple moving together or someone who wants a companion, while a one bedroom residence provides a single living space.
Suites of Ankeny may be a good fit for someone who wants independent living or assisted living with the possibility of changing care levels in the same community. A Walk Score of 52 places the area in the somewhat walkable range, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may still be able to make some independent outings. Pets are allowed, and Vanessa Young serves as the administrator.
