Vita Health Systems

Vita Health Systems sits in Des Moines, Iowa, and works hard to support families who have a loved one with intellectual or developmental disabilities, and it's a licensed assisted living and residential care facility with space for 15 residents where folks can choose from studios, one-bedroom units, and shared or semi-private living quarters, all with kitchenettes, private bathrooms, air conditioning, telephone, cable, and internet, so everyone can feel a bit more at home. The staff includes trained professionals such as CNAs, LPNs, LVNs, and RNs, and they provide 24-hour care, including medication management, help with personal care needs like dressing, showering, and even spoon-feeding or help with incontinence, and they've got on-site physical and occupational therapy for those that need it, as well as care for people living with dementia, Parkinson's disease, or those needing diabetic support. There's a clear focus on giving a safe, family-like environment and making sure the living spaces are set up for safety, and the community offers lots of amenities like a library, reading area, theater, games room, barbershop, and walking trails, and there are group activities, computer learning, arts and crafts, gardening, and even off-site devotional activities for spiritual needs. Meals are fresh, chef-prepared, and can be adjusted for special diets, with snacks always available, and every resident takes meals in a private dining room. Vita Health Systems stays secure round-the-clock, offers transportation, parking for visitors, full laundry and linen service, home maintenance, and weekly housekeeping including bathroom cleaning, so no one has to fuss with chores or worry about fixing things up. For those that have trouble getting around, staff can help with ambulation, physical support, and fall prevention, and there's always a nurse on call for emergencies, with alarms and emergency systems in each room. Extra services like pharmacy, massage therapy, and wellness programs cover the basics and the extras, and for families looking for short-term help, they even offer respite care so caregivers can get a little break. Vita Health Systems is licensed under Iowa license #0896407 for assisted living and #770488 for residential care, and doesn't allow pets, but does offer long-term care and support to seniors and adults with mental health or intellectual disabilities, always aiming for a caring, consistent, and cost-effective experience that's as flexible as possible-always focused on daily needs, safety, health, and simple peace of mind.
