StoryPoint Timberline, located in Urbandale, IA offers independent living, assisted living & memory care. Visit Provider Website

Scheduled transportation sits on StoryPoint Timberline's own list of standing community benefits, and it changes what a week looks like once someone stops driving.

The community is at 14001 Douglas Pkwy. in Urbandale, IA, roughly eight miles from MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center. StoryPoint Group, who runs StoryPoint Timberline, says on the community's own page that it used to be Edencrest at Timberline, and offers independent living, assisted living and memory care there.

Pricing at StoryPoint Timberline

StoryPoint Group doesn't say what any of the three levels cost on the community's own website, so there's no figure here rather than a guess. The local market range for assisted living in the area is $5,044 to $5,356 a month, a guide for the area rather than this community's own price. In the care levels the cost of help is part of the monthly total, though the operator doesn't say whether that's bundled into one price or billed separately. One request through Get Pricing gets you both parts for the level you'd actually start in, which is the only version of the number worth planning against.

Getting Around from StoryPoint Timberline

Scheduled transportation is named on the community's own benefits list, and at eight miles from MercyOne Des Moines Medical Center that's the benefit doing the most quiet work here. The follow-up worth having is whether the schedule covers medical appointments as well as errands and outings, and which days it runs. That one answer tells you how much of the driving still lands on family in the first year.

Care and Memory Support at StoryPoint Timberline

The assisted living page describes a licensed setting with professionally trained staff, and names three meals a day, daily housekeeping and laundry as what takes over from keeping a house. Memory care is round-the-clock licensed support across living, wellness and dining, with programming built around where someone is on the day, in wording this operator uses across its communities. Having all three levels at one address means a change in need is handled where someone already lives.

Amenities at StoryPoint Timberline

Chef-prepared meals, several open-concept floor plans, an on-site beauty salon and barbershop, and housekeeping and laundry are all on the community's own benefits list. StoryPoint Timberline is pet friendly too. Laundry being named alongside housekeeping is the pair to confirm. The two aren't always covered by the same charge, and that's what makes two monthly figures less comparable than they look.
