Overview of Woodlands Creek Senior Living

Woodlands Creek Senior Living offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Clive, IA. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living adds help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, and having all three care levels in one community can allow a resident to remain in place if their needs change rather than move elsewhere.

The community opened in 1999, and Dial Senior Living is the owner. Its starting price is $3,870 per month, giving families a baseline for initial budgeting. A fitness center provides onsite exercise, while the salon, barber, and spa keep personal care services within the community; the restaurant and bistro offer onsite dining spaces, and the courtyard, garden, patio, and walking paths provide places to spend time outdoors. Pets are allowed, so a resident can continue living with a pet at the community.
