The Waterford at Ames

Here at Independence Village of Ames, we spend our time helping residents design and explore the right living options for all of their needs.

From customizing each resident’s care to finding the perfect living style, we’re here to assist with daily tasks like housekeeping, getting ready for the day or even home maintenance. Be a part of a lively community that plans on-site and off-site community events for all to enjoy.

As every resident is unique, so is the level of assistance they desire. Assisted living at Independence Village is specially designed to provide any help our residents need, if and when they need it.

By offering support for daily needs, such as household chores, our residents are free to enjoy life, meet new friends and engage in lively activities.

Our joy stems from helping residents make the most of their retirement. As they become a part of our family, we learn who they are and uncover what truly matters to them.

At Independence Village, each resident has their own unique needs. The decision to explore assisted living varies per individual. Assisted living may be a good fit for you or your loved one if:

• Care needs are becoming too much to be managed at home.
• The benefits of a licensed setting with professionally trained employees would be a welcome change, especially in an environment where residents are cared for like family.
• Home maintenance, cooking and cleaning are becoming unmanageable. In assisted living at Independence Village, residents receive three meals per day, daily housekeeping, laundry services and more.

Our community features an array of amenities, including:

• 24-hour staffing
• Three restaurant-style meals and snacks served daily
• Large, elegant dining room with private dining rooms
• Housekeeping and laundry services
• On-site beauty salon/barbershop
