Loess Hills Estates sits near Loess Hills State Forest, so the area gets real pretty in autumn with all the colored leaves and there's a real sense of quiet around the place that a lot of folks appreciate, and the community's made up of 20 apartments-15 are one-bedroom units and 5 are studios-with two apartments set up for people who use wheelchairs or have trouble getting around, and each one comes with bathroom safety rails, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, emergency call systems, and its own heat and air conditioning, plus the rent covers most utilities except phone and cable, and there are window treatments on all the apartment windows along with mailboxes and doors for each unit. The bathrooms have safety rails and there's a special feature where every apartment is ground level, so you don't have to worry about stairs, and residents with mobility issues can get rooms more suited for them, and everyone can use the community laundry room and parking lot, which is just for the people who live there, and the building has a service coordinator and a manager right there on-site to help out if any problems come up. Loess Hills Estates runs regular social events like bingo, potlucks, birthday celebrations, and card games in a shared community room where people can meet and make friends, and there's this participation program called RHF's Project H.A.N.D.S. that helps active folks who want to join in, plus there's a good reputation going for friendly staff, meals, and activities-they've picked up some awards in those areas. The place has policies that are clear, though-no pets allowed, and applicants must be 62 or older, or at least 18 if they have mobility impairments, and income limits apply because it's set up as affordable senior housing under HUD rules. Residents also have access to medication management and can get help with everyday activities when needed, and every apartment's fitted with safety features like emergency call systems, so people can feel safer, and everyone can use a heating and cooling system that's got its own control, which helps with comfort. Staff members are trained to handle different needs, and maintenance takes care of the building and keeps an eye on security, and the whole setup is designed so that those who live there can stay as independent as possible while still having support and opportunities for fun and friendships.

Reneged move-in, unsafe management, misleading
I tried to move my loved one here and would not recommend it. They reneged on our move‑in date, ignored messages, and I experienced ongoing management and maintenance problems that left me worried about resident safety. The California‑based, for‑profit ownership and advertising felt deceitful — I wouldn’t rate them well. The staff on site were extremely helpful and informative; rooms are compact, individual, unfurnished (stove and refrigerator included) and handicapped accessible, but overall I felt misled and unsafe.
