Glen Oaks Alzheimer's Special Care Center

The Glen Oaks Alzheimer's Special Care Center facility was opened in December, 2012, and is located in beautiful Urbandale, a suburb of the capital city of Des Moines, the largest city in Iowa. As part of JEA Senior Living, Glen Oaks Alzheimer's Special Care Center is a family member of a group of facilities that extends from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean.

Here you will find our family's distinct Meaningful Moments® brand of memory care, where a full consideration of the resident's life experience and background, preferences and interests are all incorporated into an individualized, customized treatment plan. At Glen Oaks Alzheimer's Special Care Center, residents can choose between long-term residential care living arrangements or short-term respite care, all the while benefiting from the JEA Senior Living mission to be the "... leader in providing quality personal services to our residents, while honoring the experience of aging."

The center offers around-the-clock care and supervision, private and semi-private accommodations, three quality, gourmet meals every day (as well as snacks and special guest meals!), and a vast array of activities. Whether on a field trip, exercising, attending a class, enjoying pet visits, socializing or participating in weekly church services, residents at Glen Oaks are always doing something!
