Elite Lodge of Ashworth
Elite Lodge of Ashworth is an independent living community in West Des Moines, IA. Independent living here means private living with community services but no daily care, so it may suit a resident who manages personal care independently and wants access to shared activities. A one-bedroom layout can work well for someone living alone, while a two-bedroom layout can accommodate a couple moving together.
There is plenty to do on the property. Residents can swim in the indoor heated pool or exercise in the fitness center, and the libraries, bridge club, and book club offer spaces for reading, organized card games, and discussion activities. The landscaped grounds cover 11 acres, providing outdoor space on site, and pets are allowed. A Walk Score of 41 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride; a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips.
