Keystone Place at Forevergreen

My grandma moved to Keystone Place at Forevergreen eight years ago, and it has been an incredible blessing to both her and our entire family. The staff are kind, welcoming, and professional, and they truly understand that each day they are being welcomed into the residents’ home. The housekeeping team does an amazing job maintaining the cleanliness of her apartment and the entire building. One of my favorite things is joining my grandma for meals—the food is delicious, with a wide variety of options to please every palate! Most importantly, the activities team thoughtfully designs the weekly schedule to keep residents engaged and connected. From activities in the man cave, to book club, weekly chapel services, and sing-alongs, there truly is something for everyone.

I cannot find enough good words to describe how great Keystone Place at Forevergreen is. We needed to move my 91-year old Dad from North Carolina to assisted living here in Iowa, and we selected Keystone after much research. Sadly, Dad suffered a stroke soon after arriving and passed after a month on Hospice. The people at Keystone were a gift to us during this difficult period. They helped us work with Hospice so that Dad could stay in his apartment where he was comfortable through the end. Everyone that we worked with -- from caregivers, to dining staff, to administrative staff, to maintenance staff, literally everyone--was great. They were kind, knowledgeable in their positions, skilled in their services, supportive, respectful, empathic, and genuine. The residents were great too; they were welcoming and everyone we met seemed happy, which speaks to the quality of the home. It felt like a family, despite having been with them for just a few months. We have had experience with three different care homes--two in North Carolina with my Dad and one Arizona with my Mom--and in each case we researched our options extensively. Keystone was without question the best experience of them all. They are good people; it's a good place! You can trust your loved one to them.

From the minute I visited Keystone Place in North Liberty, it felt like home. I moved in 18 months later and was not disappointed. People and staff were very friendly. The atmosphere is one of acceptance and true interest from the residents to the entire staff, from management to housekeeping. Everyone truly cares and is compassionate about others. Activities are provided daily and it’s entirely your choice to participate whenever you choose. Friends that visit me are surprised at the spacious, bright sunshiny 1 bedroom apartment with a full kitchen and laundry in the bathroom. Storage has not been as issue since there is underground parking and storage areas available. I chose Keystone with the comfort of knowing if independent living becomes a challenge for me, they offer assisted living and memory care, so my daughter knows care and help will be there if/when I need it. It’s truly my home and I’ve not regretted moving in when I did.

My mom lived at Keystone for about 3-1/2 years. She loved her independent living unit. She easily made friends with the other residents as well as the staff. The staff were all very friendly, caring and attentive to the needs of the residents. My mom enjoyed the provided music entertainment, Bingo, card games, and all of the other daily activities that were held in the clubhouse. She also enjoyed her meals in the dining room. Our family joined her for many meals and we loved eating there as well. We would definitely recommend Keystone!

My mom moved from her home in Iowa City to Keystone Place at Forevergreen in 2017. She has been fortunate to call Keystone “home” for nearly 8 years. As her daughter living 2 hours away I have referred to the Keystone senior living community as my “saving grace”…the place and especially the people. The Keystone staff went above and beyond on numerous occasions to keep Mom living and thriving as independently as possible. Their concern was consistently for her satisfaction and her safety. The activities including exercise class, movies, BINGO, crafts and holiday celebrations were of special interest to her. Since Mom no longer cooked the dining room was a big part of her daily routine, and she enjoyed being able to have visiting family and friends join her for meals. Recently the decision was made to transition to assisted living so this prompted moving Mom closer to family. However, no place will ever replace her Keystone Family and the exceptional care she received and the friendships made. They have truly been a blessing! ♥️
