I love the caring, helpful staff, and all the wonderful residents that live here. They all make it worth traveling so far to work. It is a beautiful facility, with a calm atmosphere. There are many activities you can join in. They serve continental breakfast that offers a lot of choices. If you are looking for a new home, please consider looking atThe Arbordale to see all they have to offer. I look forward to seeing you at the Arbor Hill Salon!Patti AnnHill Read LessPatti4/19/2022When my father decided to move from Nebraska and downsize to be closer to me, we visited several different independent living options in the Des... Read MoreWhen my father decided to move from Nebraska and downsize to be closer to me, we visited several different independent living options in the Des Moines metro, but from the minute we walked into The Arbordale, it was clear this place was special. We were greeted by so many smiling and friendly people! Susie took us on a tour of several units that were available. She helped us find the perfect apartment for my dad and helped his adjustment go smoothly. I am so thankful for the peace of mind I have that his car is in a climate controlled garage, that he has friends to do activities, and that he is close by. Everyday, when I call him, he is busy having coffee with friends, playing pool with the guys, playing cards, or enjoying one activity or another. He (and I) as so happy that he made the decision to join The Arbordale family!

Read MoreI have had the privilege of helping at several special events held at The Arbordale over the past few years. It’s always a wonderful experience due to the residents and excellent staff. It’s a beautiful place with very nice amenities and stylish decor, not to mention the delicious food prepared by Chef Rosie! I would recommend The Arbordale to anyone looking for a place to call home with all the many conveniences they offer. Read Lessbobdem522/02/2022

We have lived in multiple over 55 communities and the first thing that sets The Arbordale apart from the rest is the leadership team. They don't just make promises to get you moved in, they follow up on all promises after you have moved in. They definitely have the resident's as their top priority. The communication between management and the residents is excellent, this is another thing lacking in other over 55 communities. The apartments are larger than most other facilities. Rosie, the Executive Chef, does a wonderful job serving us well balanced meals that taste great. Susie, the Marketing Director, is not a high pressure sales person. She will ask questions to find out exactly what your needs are and then be very honest on how The Arbordale can meet those needs. Amy, the Activities Director and Administrative Assistant, does a tremendous job of offering a wide variety of activities for residents. Angie, the Executive Director, is the most genuine caring director we have ever met. Her word is her bond. Having a leadership team that truly cares and are good communicators and follow up on promises is hard to find. The Arbordale leadership team sets themselves apart from other communities.
