An indoor walking track circles Scottish Rite Park Health Care Center, and there is a pool, a hot tub, and a fitness center. A workshop, a library, and a movie theater fill out the day.
Seven care types operate across 51 beds in Des Moines: independent living, residential care, assisted living, memory care, home care, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. A resident whose needs change does not leave to get the next level.
Independent living means private living with no daily care attached. Assisted living adds bathing, dressing, and medication to that.
Memory care answers a narrower problem. Getting up and going out at an hour when nobody is awake is not something a family supervises from another house.
The area scores 91 for walking, high enough that a coffee or a haircut stays an ordinary outing rather than a scheduled trip. Rehabilitation services cover recovery from an illness or injury.
Respite sometimes needs no clinical justification at all. A person needs somebody in the building overnight, not therapy or procedures.
Nursing coverage on the skilled side reaches 5 hours and 56 minutes per resident each day and does not thin after dark. Medicare and private pay are accepted, and private funds cover what Medicare’s limited window does not. Daniel Boor serves as administrator.
