Walnut Ridge opened in November 2008, and offers premium senior living in the heart of Clive, IA, a western suburb located ten miles west of downtown Des Moines, IA. Clive is an impressive suburb offering residents a plethora of opportunities for entertainment – from shopping in retail centers to casual and fine-dining in exquisite local restaurants to beautiful bicycle and walking trails for nature lovers.

Our location is inside the I-35/80 loop with easy access to it as well as the I-235 Highway. To south and east sides are single family homes and to the northwest, Clive’s Aquatic Park. This affords us a great deal of additional activities for our residents.

On the east, Walnut Ridge borders Mercy West Clinic, which is a 150,000 square foot facility that includes Physical Therapy, Urgent Care, Pharmacy, Geriatrics, Neurology, and Orthopedics to name of few of their specialties available. In addition Mercy offers rehabilitation services in The Ridge Club, our full service health and fitness center.

Walnut Ridge has strong relationships with the City of Clive and Mercy West Health Systems to utilize the synergy and experience of the three identities to position the Walnut Ridge as the premier choice for seniors in the greater West Des Moines area. Together we have fostered strong relationships with key leaders to co-develop programs and services which will enhance the lives of seniors we all serve.

The Walnut Ridge Difference ensures that residents enjoy a way of life that is superbly different than what one would expect from a typical active-adult community.
