Des Moines, IA Senior Apartments for Rent

You'll find a variety of senior apartments for rent in Des Moines. Senior housing typically refers to age-restricted communities that require residents to be over 55 or over 62, but not all senior housing is the same. Some are dedicated retirement homes, while others are simply apartments for those 55 and older. Some provide independent living and are often called active adult communities. Other senior housing options provide assisted living and memory care. No matter what type of senior housing you choose, you'll find a variety of amenities for residents, including fitness classes, community rooms, and recreational outings. For those who need more support, assisted living often provides meal prep and medication support, 24-hour staff, and transportation.

Senior apartments often include amenities to enhance residents' quality of life, including walk-in tubs, grab bars in the bathrooms, and housekeeping services. Many senior apartments are conveniently located near services like medical facilities and hospitals. Those who choose independent living may not have features like 24-hour staff, food prep, and housekeeping services. Still, these communities are great for seniors who want to live in a community with other active adults. No matter what type of senior living you choose, Apartment Finder has 11 senior apartments in Des Moines, IA to choose from so you can find the right place.
