Our family had an in person tour with Ramsey Village and it was a negative tour experience. The manager told me the wrong pricing said it was [removed] a month for independent living. I asked her twice and she stood by it but you all said oh that's not correct. That was not accurate. And its was just old and nothing nice about it . The tour was very short and no questions answered

I had a good tour experience overall with Ramsey Village, but I felt that the facility had more of an old and depressing atmosphere. That was the main reason we did not choose that facility.

Our experience at Ramsey Village
The positives are he likes the location in terms of it being somewhat wooded. There area animals that come up such as deer, rabbits, squirrels. He likes all the big trees. The neighborhood is close to Drake University which does make traffic a bit heavy at times. He has a great apartment that is a good size. The biggest complaint he has had overall would be the temp control in the rooms, it is either too hot or too cold which is frustrating. Other than that he has been pretty satisfied with the experience.

The continuing care here is great, it is invaluable. They have everything from independent living all the way to skilled nursing. The overall atmosphere is more of a hotel like appearance. We would definitely recommend them to others looking.

This seemed like a nice place. The exterior and main areas are newly renovated. Not all of the rooms are. Those that are done have very high end finishes (marble counter top in kitchenette. Rooms are small and this place was by far the most expensive.

Tour for family care
I toured this community. I was able to have my questions answered. I like that the community is clean and maintained. The menu was appealing and the staff was attentive. They do offer a list of activities that are offered to the residents who want to participate. We would suggest that they tour this community for the care of a loved one and for the needs that are required.

A good stay!
My husband was at Ramsey Village for a respite stay and they took very good care of him. We were off to a rough start because at first, they were asking him about his medications and other thing and never asked me. After a week or so things got better and they began to communicate with me. They bent over backward to accommodate him. The food was good and I appreciated that they got him into physical therapy while he was there

Ramsey Village offers Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Ramsey Village 7.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
