Unprecedented Care
Within two months we have moved my Mom into Copperwood's Memory Care and my Dad into Copperwood's Assisted Living. Although this process has been one of the most difficult and stressful in our family, the transition has been as smooth as possible. This is all in thanks and recognition to the entire Copperwood staff. Everyone from kitchen staff, to servers, receptionists, front office sales, staff and director, to the crucial care-givers and nurses, have treated our entire family with genuine care and the utmost respect. All of them have taken the time to learn about my parents, allow space and understanding regarding their transition, and provide the care that makes my parents feel so welcomed and safe. This kind of unprecedented care not only positively affects my parents, but all the people calling Copperwood their home. It is truly the people that make Copperwood what it is -- exceptional.

Overall experience on our visit
We came to visit our parents for the first time since they moved in a couple of months ago. We found the facility to be beautiful and so inviting. There are so many options available to keep them busy! They have a gorgeous billards room that includes a shuffle board table and lots of other games. All staff is so friendly!

We Love CopperWood SL at Prairie trail - Ankeny, IA!
I am so thankful for CopperWood - the facilities and staff are amazing! When I originally visited CopperWood, I knew within minutes that this was where I wanted my father to be. The process of relocating my dad from Florida to Iowa was daunting, but the staff was so incredibly helpful and patient with me, answering all my questions, allowing me to visit multiple times to choose the perfect apartment. The building and grounds are beautiful, and the public spaces are fantastic for encouraging social interaction. The staff always greet me with a hello and a smile and it doesn't go unnoticed that my dad is always greeted cheerfully and by name. Activities are fun and plentiful for those residents who want to take advantage of social opportunities. It fills me with peace, knowing my dad is at CopperWood.

I was looking for memory care for mom.
CopperWood has been a great place for mom to move too. They take great care of mom and I don't have to worry about her being alone. She is eating better because of the wonderful meals she is getting and there is always activities for her to do she loves gardening and having a greenhouse to work in just makes her day. The staff has been absolutely wonderful to her , as they treat her like family.

A beautiful new home for our parents!
From the first moment we walked in for a tour, to the day we moved our parents, CopperWood has been kind and helpful at every step of the way. The brand new facility is gorgeous, nothing like a typical assisted living building. This location feels like a home and retreat all at the same time. The interiors are fresh and colorful, the amenities are many and varied for our parents and the staff already feels like family. Our parents have selected a large two bedroom with beautiful corner windows to let in a lot of light and views. We couldn't be happier with where our parents have landed - safely and in their community.

Ease all of your doubts
Copperwood has been nothing but phenomenal. From making an appointment for a tour online to helping my father feel at home in his new space. Every single staff member is kind and goes above and beyond in all they do. The residents are happy and there’s always something for everyone to entertain and socialize. I am so thankful for the Copperwood community for my father.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.
