    Everything I said in my last review is still true but I have upgraded my review from 3 to 4 stars…read morebased on improved food offerings and our overall satisfaction with the facilities, staff, activities and neighbors. We are in our early 80s and the majority of our fellow residents are 5-10 year older but we have established some good relationships that we value. Maintenance in the facility is top notch. If something breaks, it gets fixed quickly and efficiently. Every week, there are interesting excursions to gardens, theaters, museums and performances at minimal cost and included transportation. An extensive assortment of fitness activities, a fully equipped exercise room and an indoor pool are first rate. Finally, we feel that the food offerings have improved noticeably to a level on par with what I would cook myself. We do not expect to ever see restaurant grade offerings or food that is exotically spiced but we are satisfied with the everyday fare. We are confident that we made the right choice to move to Wesley Des Moines

    This place values money over its employees! High turnover…read morerate. Home health workers have to work off the clock to stay under a limited time frame. Complaints among many employees flow like water from a dam that's burst, however, positive feedback is enforced with penalties if an employee doesn't post at least 3 a month. Residents and their families have voiced concerns over rising costs contrasted by less staff and longer wait times for assistance. The food served to the residents is dismal. At breakfast, the food is either burnt or gelatinous from sitting in a pan too long. Bistro food is good, aside from the stale desserts. The food served to the memory care residents is low quality and and difficult for them to eat it. For being a Christian based company, why does it feel like it's ... not..

From the very beginning it was clear that their number one focus was making sure mom had the best service they could offer. Hope and Jerid spent hours bonding with us and learning everything they could about mom's background, preferences, needs, and impairments. Almost instantaneously mom hit it off with her caregiver, Larissa, and they have since developed a loving relationship that she cherishes. Frequently Hope or Jerid are checking in to make sure that the service is the best it can be, and any suggestions or concerns are handled immediately. It's obvious now that caring, quality service was more than just their sales pitch to us. They truly care about seniors and maintaining the happiness and dignity for my mom. I can't express how glad I am we chose NW Senior Care, and have since referred them to everyone I know thats needed senior care for their loved one.

I contacted Jerid about the free home inspection on an information gathering mission. He was responsive, knowledgable, and seemed genuinely concerned about caring for and helping seniors. He followed up on my inquiry a few days later to see if I would like to schedule an assessment, but not in a solicitous way. At the inspection he offered some insights and suggestions that might improve my mom's safety and ultimate long term ability to stay in her home. He was respectful and kind, and that genuineness carried through again. I learned that this is a family run company that offers myriad of services to seniors including in-home care and respite care. Services that we will keep in mind for the future. My siblings and I are very grateful for the service and recommendations, and will be implementing many of them immediately. I highly recommend this service.
