Emeritus at Urbandale - Overview

Set on beautifully landscaped grounds with a courtyard, Emeritus at Urbandale is located close to Interstate 80/35 in a beautiful urban neighborhood one block east of 86th street. Our community is convenient to West Mark Plaza and a variety of banks and stores, as well as numerous parks, including Walker Johnston Park. The Iowa Health Physicians and Clinics and the Mercy Urbandale Medical Clinic — Urbandale if ever needed are also nearby.

Over the past decade our community has become well known in the area for our innovative approach to caring for seniors with Alzheimer's or Dementia — an approach we call "Join Their Journey." The premise of Join Their Journey®, which is based on research conducted on seniors with Alzheimer's Disease, is simple: We believe that seniors affected by memory disorders still have so much to contribute to life. So our goal is to create a nurturing environment and provide ongoing opportunities every day that allow them to live purposeful, successful lives despite their disease.

Toward this end, we create specially designed memory care neighborhoods that provide a personalized, familiar and secure setting tailored to each resident's unique needs. Within this environment, our highly trained staff joins residents in their moment, rather than trying to bring them into our reality. Through this approach, we recognize individuality, encourage choices and help residents maintain their dignity. We also work diligently to get to know each resident and his or her family, so that we can offer the right support for every stage of the disease process.
