Description of Independence Village of Des Moines

What better place to make your home than in a happy, family-like community surrounded by all the things that make life rich. If you'd like to spend an afternoon out, you can travel a short ways toward the capital to take advantage of a vibrant theater scene (featuring the oldest theater west of the Mississippi), museums, shopping and exceptional fine dining. Or venture out a few miles to marvel at one of the largest botanical gardens in the Midwest, enjoy beautiful Saylor Lake or view the scenic bridges of Madison County. Come home to Beaverdale Estates, a place in the heart of it all.

Beaverdale Estates is a proud member of Holiday Retirement, a network of more than 300 independent senior communities. Since 1971, we have led the industry with innovative programs that address the complete lifestyle needs and interests of seniors.

Featured Amenities

Beaverdale Estates offers a wide selection of deluxe studio, one- and two-bedroom apartment suites. Each comes complete with private bathroom, kitchenette and emergency call system for your peace of mind.

We pride ourselves on providing residents a superb dining experience with a delicious menu prepared fresh by our chefs three times a day. You'll enjoy world-class cuisine, served in the elegant setting of our friendly dining room, or intimate private dining room for special occasions.

Available Services

If you take a close look around our community, you may notice that a few of our residents stand out. These are our Community Managers, who live on site to provide 24-hour support and security. You'll see them sharing a meal with residents in our dining room, attending one of our social events and taking the time to make sure each and every one of our residents feel welcomed and included.

We understand that each individual is unique and that needs may change over time. Holiday does not provide any health care services. However, residents are welcome to receive services from any outside home health care provider of their choice to help them continue enjoying life at our community.

When you're looking for a rewarding retirement lifestyle, Beaverdale Estates is the ideal place to call home.

I visited this facility

It is independent living. We need a place that has levels of care like assisted living, but they don't have them. It's pretty nice and we liked it, but we were concerned about mom needing further care in the future. She'd either have to have people come in to her room or she'd have to go to another place, and we don't want to move her again after we get this move done. The layout was nice. I would recommend it if somebody just needed a place where they could be independent, but have their meals served, and their laundry and housecleaning done. They do all of that there. They have cocktail hour, they were playing bongo drums when I was there, and they have a lot of things going on. The food was good.

I visited this facility

We visited and it was great. They were fine, but they did not have the exact thing my friend needed. The residents seemed happy and friendly, and I was greeted by different residents as I walked around. I met a couple of the staff who were friendly and accommodating.
