Independence Village of Ankeny runs assisted living and memory care in one Ankeny, IA community, with a library, an activity room, a lounge and a community garden to move between. StoryPoint Group, who operates Independence Village of Ankeny, states no monthly rate for either care level on the community's own website, so the price is the one thing you have to ask for.

Pricing at Independence Village of Ankeny

StoryPoint doesn't list a monthly rate for assisted living or memory care on this community's own pages. Both care-level pages carry a multi-state cost calculator instead, which runs on assumptions you type in. The market range on record for assisted living runs $5,044 to $5,356 a month, an area figure and not this community's rate, so it's the budget to plan against while you wait for theirs. A short request through Get Pricing gets you the actual monthly number for the care level you need, so you can compare it with the others on your list.

Care and Support at Independence Village of Ankeny

Assisted living here comes with three meals a day, daily housekeeping and laundry, in what StoryPoint calls a licensed setting with professionally trained staff. Memory care offers elements of the Connection Points Memory Care Approach, built by StoryPoint Group's aging and dementia services team, and asking which of those elements run here tells you what your mom's day would look like.
