Village at the Falls

We felt very comfortable with Village at the Falls. My only concern was that they don't have any other sequential places to put my father in should he start declining. They didn't have any higher levels of care there. Other than that, we were very pleased with how Vicki worked with us. The tour around the facility was very, very nice. They did have a lot of other things included that I was very pleased about, as far as the call buttons and check-ins and whatnot. Vicki was very informative, very knowledgeable, and very pleasant to work with as we toured around the facility. We thought she did a great job. They gave my father a fresh homemade blueberry pie that was just delicious. He enjoyed that and I thought that was very, very nice. The place was very clean and they had a lot of things to share with us as far as meal programs. They sent us home with a whole month's worth of menus and recreational activities. The pendant call button was especially important to me.

Village at the Falls is lovely. I thought it was a wonderful community. Everything is included in your rent like utilities and three wonderful meals a day. I stayed for lunch, and it was fabulous. There are a lot of activities and things. And they also give you a Lively Mobile Pendant for you if you fall or something. You don't have to be right there in the community to wear that. Anywhere in the United States, it would work. I think it's a good place to live. The apartment I only looked at was the smallest one-bedroom apartment because that's what I wanted to look at, and it was nice. It had a nice kitchenette, a dishwasher, and a microwave disposal. I like the electric range. I plan on downsizing a lot, so considering all the amenities and everything that's going on there, that tiny apartment is just fine for me. If I chose to move there, I wouldn't stay in my apartment for very long because there are a lot of things to do outside. The staff I met were very cordial and helpful. They even called me back and left a message today that they enjoyed my visit and that they'll keep in touch when it gets closer to when I want to move and hope that I choose them for my living option. The food was very good. It wasn't like institution food or anything like that. It was like dining out in a restaurant. There were servers and they waited on you, and then they had different choices.

Village at the Falls was nice and clean. They had a craft room and a puzzle room. The apartments were nice with a washer and dryer hookup and a balcony. The bathrooms were all handicap-accessible. The staff was great. They gave us a whole lot of information. They had an exercise room, a library, a parking garage, a walking path around the building, and a barbecue out in the back. They would provide 3 meals a day. We had a meal there and it was nice. They would provide transportation to doctors' appointments and shopping.

Village at the Falls seemed very nice. The two-bedroom apartment was actually spacious and big enough. What they were having for dinner that night smelled good, and the dining area looked very nice. It seemed like they had a lot of activities for everybody. They had exercise classes, craft classes, and then they went on trips to Pottawattamie, the local festivals, and other local places. The person who gave us the tour was a new staff member, so I don't know if he knew a lot of stuff there yet, but he did fine.

We only visited Village at the Falls, and we liked it very much. They have cards, exercises, and they have a library. The staff was very nice and helpful. The food was delicious, and the dining room was very nice.

Village at the Falls was excellent. They provided everything that my brother needed. They have wonderful staff and residents that he enjoyed interacting with. They have shuttle service for his doctor's appointments. It was just wonderful and he was very happy there. The nicest thing about his room there was it's the same layout as his apartment. The staff was very good and for anything my brother needed, they were there. They helped him with his things, like he couldn't reach his mailbox, so they made sure he got his mail every day. If he had any questions, he could go to anybody and they'd see him and answer his questions. They'd go above and beyond. The meals were good and were better than at most places. The food wasn't like at a restaurant, but it was adequate and my brother always had plenty. They always had snacks if the residents got hungry in between and there was always stuff they could take back to their room, so they were very accommodating. They cleaned his apartment and even furnished his toilet paper which was unreal. You could sign up for different things to go to, they'd have entertainment come in, special days, celebrated birthdays, and they had bowling on the Wii. People were always busy there and I never saw an unhappy resident. I thought it was worth every penny.

The Village at the Falls had very nice people, card games, an outdoor garden, and just a lot to offer. They showed me a one-bedroom that was adequate and very nice. Besides housekeeping, they offered three meals and activities, then that's pretty much it. The staff was thorough, friendly, and did a couple of follow-ups. It's a very nice place.

The Village at the Falls was very lovely. The apartments were spacious, the staff seemed very friendly, and I liked it a lot. The only drawback was that there isn't a full-time nurse on the staff.

Awesome, kind, sensitive and accessible staff at Village at the Falls. The facility is bright and full of friendly residents who interact with one another and welcomed my parents!!

I visited Village at the Falls and liked it very much. The gentleman who took us around was very polite, very helpful, and told us things we needed to know. The unit that he showed us was amazing, and now I'm figuring out how I could get in there. They have bingo, Wii bowling, card games, and crafts, plus a bus to take people on little trips, and an exercise room. The dining room was like a nice restaurant, and they had little vases with flowers.

I would like to live in Village at the Falls! This place was beautiful. The people who I met were great. The amenities were very nice. They have meals and will come in once a week to change your bedding for you and do light housekeeping. It was very nice. I know they had a game room and a van to take them out, but that's not something that my mom would participate in.

I rented a place at Village at the Falls. It's excellent. The dining room is very nice, and the food is good.

Village at the Falls was a nice place. They have a lot of good things, but I just can’t afford it. The rooms were great. The colors were nice in there, and the carpeting was very nice. The staff people were very nice, very cordial, and answered all of your questions. The food was a good restaurant meal. If I had the money, I would probably live there.

I liked Village at The Falls very much, but the one thing that turned me off on it was a little bit away from where my daughter lived. The hallways were also fairly narrow, and if people with wheelchairs are going in opposite directions, one of them would pull over all the way to the wall to let the other one go through, and the other one would barely make it through. The staff is extremely pleasant, very good, and very knowledgeable. The rooms are very nice, and they were a little big bigger which was a very strong plus for them, and they were very clean. It looked like it was a little bit crowded inside, but that's OK. The location was away from where my daughter was, but it was pretty good and pretty easy to get to. One thing I liked about it was it was right next to a hospital also.

I am living at Village at the Falls, and it's a pretty comprehensive retirement community. They provide everything. The only additions to my rent are my Internet and phone service, but other than that, they have everything covered. They have prepared meals, three a day. It's institutional food, but it's pretty good. We have a nice two-bedroom apartment with a living room, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a little patio. The apartment is very comfortable. It's not cheap, but when you stop and do the math, you see that you're getting everything you need, so it doesn't look quite as bad. There are a lot of activities. If you want to be involved, you can stay busy. They go out on trips. They offer coffee and snacks all the time as well as fruit, desserts, and you name it. I am on the first floor. I can let my puppy out the patio door.

The Village at the Falls was clean, friendly, and we all liked it. The food was OK. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I don't have any complaints. Maybe they can improve their menu, but other than that, it was really good.

My husband's sister is in Village at the Falls. It is very nice. I like it, and she likes it very much. I like that it is out in the country, and they have so many activities there. She likes her room, and she is happy there.

The Village at the Falls was beautiful and had everything, but it was way too much money. They were very courteous, showed me all around, and invited me to dinner. I was extremely impressed with it. The food was very good. They have a chef that prepares breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They had many activities with something planned for every day of the month scheduled on a calendar they put out. The staff was very friendly and courteous.

Village at the Falls is a very nice place. My mom loved it, and we all liked it because we saw a lot of various activities that my mom could participate in. They have shuttle buses that could take her anywhere she wants, six days a week. They also have a beauty salon. From dinner to socializing with other senior citizens, the accommodations are great, and the rooms are really nice. We are trying to get a one-bedroom, but they only have a two-bedroom at the moment.

Village at the Falls was a very nice place. They had everything to offer. The people were very nice. The person I sat down and talked with went over everything. We toured the facilities. As we ran into different people, they were all saying "Hi! Welcome to the Falls". It was a very good experience. We looked at the rooms and the different options we had. We looked at the menus as far as the meals. They had all the activities going on. If I would ran into somebody, that would be something I would recommend.

The staff at Village At The Falls showed me around and explained what they offer. It was a nice facility, but the apartments were small. That's why my mom didn't like this facility. The room was almost like a one-room efficiency type.

I visited Village at the Falls. The staff was very friendly, and it was an enjoyable place to visit. The facilities that they had for seniors looked like it would work very well to help the seniors. The rooms were clean and adequate. They have a quiet room activity, a place for speaking, and a place for meeting. The facility was sort of away from city activities but still close, and they have bus trips also for the seniors who like to be active and do those types of things.

I like Village at the Falls, but it was too pricey. They had full time chefs there that served the meals. They have housekeeping and all of that, and that kind of stuff we didn’t need. The dining room was beautiful. The suite that they show you -- that they let you visit to see how you would like the place -- is much nicer than the actual apartments. Other than the price, everything was nice.

The Village at the Falls is very nice, and my dad liked that a lot. However it was expensive. We did see all different kind of rooms, and they are very nice. Everything is included in the rent. They have three meals a day cooked by a chef. There are 24/7 snacks out there. The staff is wonderful. They are very accommodating. They showed us everything that they have available. Everything was right there, and you never have to go outside of the building. If he had the money to do it, he would have moved in there.

My wife is going to Wisconsin to Village at the Falls. The staff was very friendly. They answered the hard questions. They were very pleasant and easy to deal with. I have tried the food, and it was delicious. The food was absolutely outstanding. My son was over there, and he said that the rooms are all fantastic. Everybody in the building has smiles on their faces.

Bonnie39

I don’t like Village at the Falls. It was OK; they have a swimming pool, they have pictures with people working on the fitness center, and all they got is a room for them. The room and the dining room were nice. They seemed very friendly, but everybody dressed up to eat; I showed up in shorts. Nobody told me I had to dress up, but I felt undressed. It seemed more formal.

The rooms at Village at the Falls were very nice. They were like big and small apartments. The big one had a large bedroom, a large nice bathroom and you could have a washer and a dryer in the room. The only problem there was that they did not have medical people like nurses in the facility.
