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.

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.

Mom has lived in three complexes and this one is outstanding. The entire staff (desk personnel, cleaning folks, maintenance men and dining crew)have been so sweet and helpful as my mother navigates her life after losing my dad this past year. The environment is clean and bright. Always fresh smelling.

Mom lives in an apartment. The staff is so friendly. She gets 2 meals a day that is included in her rent. Housecleaning is also included. There are activities all the time. Every Friday they have " happy hour". Dining room is always clean. They decorate everywhere with special things according to seasons and holidays. They have two party rooms, an exercise room, crafts etc. I give everything a strong 5.

Review for Mount Alverna Village

We picked this community because it was one of the suggestions by A Place for Mom...also, some family members had heard good things about it from others. Would definitely recommend to others. The activity director [name removed] is amazing. They do communication well...they inform families by email when key personnel are on vacation and who to contact in their absence...they acknowledge when they are having difficulties filling an open role and what they are doing about it...they inform families about any change in key personnel

I am grateful that my brother was treated with respect and dignity during his final day. Thank you.

My brother [name removed] was a patient at Mount Alverna Village in Parma, OH from early [date removed] until his death on [date removed]. He was diagnosed with vascular dimentia which caused him to be bedridden. I visited 8 assisted living/Nursing Homes before I decided on Mount Alverna. I picked Mount Alverna because it was close to my home, it was non-profit and it was Catholic. I want to thank everyone at Mount Alverna for the care and kindness he received. The journey my brother and I traveled during this time was very difficult but made easier by the patience and understanding that the staff showed my brother. I couldn’t have made a better choice selecting Mount Alverna. I am grateful that my brother was treated with respect and dignity during his final day. Thank you.

I rate them as a 5 on all of the categories with the caveat I cannot properly rate their activities (#6) because I have had very limited exposure in this area.
