Addington Place of Des Moines
4.8
Mom's been in the memory care wing for a couple of months now. She is getting along very well. Seems like she's not getting out of her room as much as I thought they would. I don't know how mom responds to them though. She does like it there. She enjoys the food and doesn't want for anything.
Homestead of Knoxville Assisted Living
5.0
