The Odyssey serves as a multicultural continuum of care tailored for elderly immigrants residing in Des Moines, Iowa. These older adults embarked on a journey to find a better home and life, their Odyssey shaping their path today. Our CCRC hopes to offer them a sanctuary where they can age gracefully, celebrate their valuable cultures, and honor their resilience.Â
Thoughtfully considered spaces with biophilic design elements, natural color palettes, and diverse features come together to support the residents and staff and foster a sense of unity within the community.
