Answer a few questions to get personalized results

Who are you searching for?

Residential care homes in Des Moines may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Des Moines care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Des Moines, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

We are also serving Assisted Living facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Matthews Beach, Cedar Park and Windermere.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Seattle, Tacoma and Kent.

What are care homes?

Residential care homes are houses in residential neighborhoods that are equipped, adapted, and staffed to care for a small number of residents, usually between two and 10.

  • Nutritious meals
  • Social activities and outings
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
