From your first call to move-in, we make it simple.
At Iowa Jewish Senior Life Center, we believe admissions should be clear, supportive, and personal—guided by a single point of contact: our Admissions Coordinator.
Here’s how we help families in the Des Moines area make the transition:
1. Initial Contact & Scheduling a Tour
Our Admissions Coordinator will take your call or online inquiry, answer questions, and arrange a tour of our facility. We welcome individuals of all faiths and encourage in-person visits so you can experience our care environment firsthand.
2. Facility Tour & Introduction to Care Staff
During your visit, you’ll see our private rooms, communal spaces, and activity areas. You’ll also meet members of our care team and learn about our holistic, relationship-based approach.
3. Medical Documentation & Eligibility
We’ll go over the required documents, which typically include a physician’s admission order, complete medical history, current medications, and recent test results.
4. Nursing Assessment & Care Planning
Before move-in, our nursing staff will conduct a thorough assessment to understand medical needs, daily routines, and personal preferences. Our multidisciplinary team will then create a personalized care plan.
5. Financial Review
Our team will review payment options, assist with Medicare or Medicaid paperwork, and explain any private-pay details so there are no surprises.
6. Legal Documents & Resident Rights
We’ll walk you through required forms—such as consent for treatment, advance directives, and medical power of attorney—and explain your rights as a resident.
7. Move-In & Transition Support
On move-in day, we’ll help coordinate logistics, introduce you to staff, review daily routines, and establish clear communication with family members.
