My mother has lived at Walnut Ridge for 5 years. She was in independent, got ill, and went to the rehab side. The staff worked so hard to get my mother back to her normal self. With exceptional care and grace from the amazing staff, my mother is back to her old self, and ready to get back to her appartment. I can not thank the attentive, caring, knowledgeable staff enough for taking such great care of Mom. We love Walnut Ridge!

I moved my mom from Minnesota to Walnut Ridge in Clive, Iowa last January so she could be closer to my family. While she was sad to leave Minnesota, she felt welcomed by friendly residents and a plethora of activities to choose from. The community is warm, beautiful and inviting. It didn't take her long to adjust. She loved the food and usually brought home half of her dinner for lunch the next day. As she needed more support and care, she eventually moved to the Memory Care neighborhood. I cannot begin to thank the staff enough for their dedication, thoughtfulness, kindness, and overall excellent care they provided her. I will forever be grateful for everything they did for her while she lived there! Thank you!

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing the exceptional care and warmth at Walnut Ridge Senior Campus, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with a sense of belonging and comfort that truly made it feel like home. The staff at Walnut Ridge is simply incredible. They go above and beyond to ensure that every resident feels welcomed and valued from day one. In particular, we must mention Chad, who has been an absolute gem throughout our entire experience. Chad’s communication skills are exceptional; he is not only sincere but also takes the time to get to know each individual personally. He walked us through every step of the process with patience and understanding, making the transition smooth and stress-free. The attention to detail and genuine care exhibited by the staff, especially Chad, is what sets Walnut Ridge Senior Campus apart. We have seen firsthand the dedication and passion they have for creating a supportive and loving environment for seniors. We wholeheartedly recommend Walnut Ridge to anyone looking for a place where they can feel at home and receive top-notch care. Thank you to Chad and the entire team for making such a positive difference in the lives of seniors and their families!
