Ankeny, Iowa (Jan. 28, 2012) –– Vintage Hills at Prairie Trail in Ankeny celebrated its one year anniversary last week.

“We’re recognizing all of the accomplishments we have made in our first year as a retirement community, especially establishing Ankeny’s only private, personalized Alzheimer and memory care neighborhood,” said managing director Kristi Roberts.

“Vintage Hills at Prairie Trail has created a sense of family in this tight-knit community and we are looking forward to new programs such as Watermark University and our Alzheimer Association monthly support groups in the coming months,” continued Roberts.
