What we like the most about the Walnut Ridge community is their apartment, it is great. The staff members who work there are very friendly. It is a little expensive but we want them to be comfortable. Our family really likes the Walnut Ridge community.

We were told all transportation was included in 5 mile radius but there is no medical rides only a Monday at 1 that's it so not all transportation is included and that was a huge misrepresentation for me as i am only sibling in state to help parents. I would recommend just was irritated about the transportation

happy to promote memory care at Walnut Ridge
Walnut Ridge is a beautiful facility with staff that is outstanding, best care we could ask for our Mother. They are very honest about situations and sometimes it isn't what you want to hear but need to know. But always done in a caring/ loving way!! The rom sizes in memory care are very adequate and nicely arranged to feel spacious! Amenities are included in the memory care price! Staff is so upbeat and makes your loved one feel like they are the most important person. We have watched our mother blossom in the time she has been there and we were totally prepared for the opposite to happen!

I am 90% happy with them.
There was some initial confusion with long term care insurance and their levels of care, and memory care, and I understand they are building more. It's clean, and the staff is pretty good. The food is fresh and they have a good variety of food options. They have lots of activities, if you want to do something there is plenty to do. I am 90% happy with them.

Walnut Ridge Seasonal Option
Mom is a 72 year old widow who lived alone in the country 20 minutes outside of Des Moines. She gets lonely especially in the winter when her friends travel south and the snowy roads keep her home. Walnut Ridge offered her a fully furnished apartment for the winter months. It's been a great opportunity for mom to meet new people, get involved in activities, and yet still have her home in the country.

No Room in Memory Care
This place starts out with independent living and then they have assisted living and a waiting list for memory care. The lady over there said they have no opening but she said they've had people before in assisted living who need to move to memory care and they just don't have the space so they sent them to Glen Oaks and they've gotten great feedback about them so that's how I found Glen Oaks which is where I moved my wife. To be honest I wasn't that impressed with Walnut Ridge itself. It wasn't my least favorite but they were just sort of darkly decorated and I wouldn't have wanted to live there, personally.

Not good for more "advanced" memory loss
This was okay... he was jsut asked to leave because he needed more care than they could provide. I don't really think his care needs escalated, he was the same as when he went in but they just said they couldn't take care of him.

Great Wellness Center with Work Out Room and Pool!
They have excellent activities and their wellness center facility is top notch! They have a work out room and a pool and everything. That was a big draw because we used the wellness facility before we even moved here. They have movies every Friday and Saturday. They have a social hour every week and games and good mixer activities so you can get to know the other residents. We like that.

Fitness center and big pool
Everything is really good but it is a little pricey. We had visited several places and Walnut Ridge had the most options available for our loved one. They have a fitness center that is staffed and a big pool where they do water aerobics. The food is good. The landscaping is lovely. They have wonderful interior common areas. The price is around $5,000.

We are still exploring this with Mom. As the weeks go by she gets more open to making a change. The last epidural was less effective. We will try to get her to the Director to look. We are leaning this direction. We believe she will like it.

about Walnut Ridge

Walnut Ridge offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Walnut Ridge 9.2 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.
