Keystone Place at Forevergreen was a Godsend for our family! When my mother was suddenly widowed almost five years ago, we needed to find a memory care facility that would nurture her, care for her, keep her comfortable and safe and help her maintain as much cognitive function as possible for as long as possible. Thankfully, a friend recommended Keystone. From the first phone call, the staff was encouraging, supportive and caring. The nursing, administrative and care staff went above and beyond to keep our family informed and involved and to make sure we had as many options as possible. They even made her final days a time of celebration rather than sadness. She has now passed, but I will be forever grateful to Keystone and everyone there.
My parents lived at Keystone for almost 10 years, starting in Independent Living. It is well kept, clean, quiet, and safe. The covered, warm, garage was extremely welcome while they were still driving. The apartments are quite spacious (compared to others we saw) and were always kept updated whenever a resident moved in or switched apartments. The Independent Living apartment had what I considered ample storage and included a full kitchen. The housekeeping and maintainance staff was consistently excellent and so kind to the residents.
As time passed a move to Assisted LIving was necessary. This necessitated an apartment change (which is common in facilities such as this). This apartment had a small fridge and microwave but no stove. I cannot say enough about the staff who step in to assist seniors with things they can no longer do independently or safely (such as bathing, for example). This was a VERY hard move for my parents who were always very independent. Accepting this help was difficult even though they knew it was necessary. The staff "gets it" and is extremely understanding of the struggles seniors endure as they confront the limitations of aging and bodies and minds that no longer work like they used to.
More time passed and we experienced the Memory Care Unit which is large and open and always has something going on! Residents of Memory Care are engaged and safe. There is outdoor space at Memory Care for small gardens and fresh air on nice days.
Eventually it became time for hospice care. Hospice teams incorporated well with the Keystone staff and neither of my parents had to leave their living spaces (Memory Care or Assisted Living) to receive hospice care. The Keystone staff was so incredibly kind to them both as well as to us. I can honestly say it felt like leaving family when I walked out of Keystone at Forevergreen and I can also say that I think the staff felt that way about us, too.
If you are looking for a place such as Keystone please, do, make an appointment and take a tour.
I will always be grateful to Keystone for the incredible care they gave my mother. She began her journey at Keystone nearly 10 years ago in independent living, later transitioned to assisted living, and in March 2026 moved to memory care. Throughout every stage, we knew she was exactly where she needed to be.
The entire community is beautiful, clean, welcoming, and truly feels like home. But what makes Keystone so special isn't just the building—it's the people.
From the moment my mom arrived, she was treated with warmth, patience, dignity, and genuine kindness. The staff didn't simply meet her daily needs; they took the time to know her as a person, comfort her when she was struggling, celebrate the good days, and love her like family. As her daughter living in Arizona, it meant everything to know she was safe, respected, and surrounded by people who truly cared.
Quinn, Liz, and the entire team always made my mom's safety and well-being their highest priority. No matter what challenges arose, I never questioned that every decision was made with her best interests at heart. Even during difficult times, the caregivers consistently demonstrated compassion, professionalism, and excellent communication, always keeping our family informed and giving us peace of mind.
I had the privilege of getting to know so many wonderful staff members over the years, and I genuinely looked forward to seeing them each time I visited. Every one of them treated my mom as if she were their own family member.
I especially want to recognize Julie and Eric, who went above and beyond every single day to make sure my mom felt happy, safe, comfortable, and loved. Their kindness, patience, and compassion will never be forgotten. When my mom passed away, they—along with so many other members of the Keystone team—grieved alongside our family because they had lost someone they loved, too. That speaks volumes about the extraordinary people who work there.
When my mom moved to memory care, there were certainly some challenging days. Dementia can be difficult for everyone involved, yet she was always treated with incredible patience, respect, and understanding. The staff never stopped seeing the wonderful person she was, even as the disease progressed.
Although my mom has passed away, I will always consider Keystone Place at Forevergreen my second home. Whenever I return to Iowa, I know I'll stop by to visit the people who became such an important part of our lives.
I wholeheartedly recommend Keystone Place at Forevergreen to any family searching for exceptional senior care. Thank you to every member of the Keystone team for the love, kindness, dedication, and outstanding care you gave my mother throughout the last decade of her life. The friendships she made, the compassion she received, and the peace of mind you gave our family are gifts that will never be forgotten. You have been an incredible blessing, and I will be forever thankful.
