I fell several times and got a black eye ,fell in shower left for 20 minutes and it was cold. Often waited 20 to 40 minutes for call button to be answered, and it was to late. My room door did not close , bed did not go up and down both had to be fixed ,waited several days to be repaired. Room was cold , heating unit did not work properly, draft of cold air from window so strong they rolled up blankets to put on windows. Finally moved to other facility to stop poor care. State of Iowa just cited Edgewater with 8 violations.

I've been to Edgewater in West Des Moines, which is an ideal place. It's a place I like to wind up. I've worked with nurses, physical therapists, and doctors once a week. I've been there four or maybe five times. It's quite a place. Everybody is great out there. They got people who come in and put you in a wheelchair, get you out of bed, take you to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and take you down to your physical therapy appointments. It's a really nice, well kept place, and they have helpful staff. It's just topnotch, and I like going to Edgewater.

My mom was at Edgewater for six weeks. Her experience there was wonderful, but we had to leave because Medicare wouldn't pay for it any more. I loved the staff that were there, they were very helpful, and my mom liked them. She liked the food there better than where she's at now. Her room was adequate and definitely nice. There was a bed, a chair, and a restroom facility. If she would've stayed longer, she could have had some of her own things in there to help make it feel more like home.

Edgewater was too expensive. The staff was OK; they weren’t like real friendly. It was beautiful, but kind of stuffy. We got a tour of the rooms, and they were very beautiful. The dining area was beautiful. It was like a downtown restaurant.

My mother-in-law visited a couple of weekends ago and we visited a number of facilities, the last one we visited was Brookside Assisted Living. This site is located on a campus called Edgewater. The facility looks more like an upscale spa than it does a nursing/retirement community. The who facility is beautifully well groomed. The inside looks slightly more personal, but it still has a great professional look and feel. The whole site is upscale in it's look and even it what it offers as far as amenities go. They have a saltwater pool, on-site spa and salon and an amazing overall offering for services. The site offers studios as well as apartments. While some of the amenities they offer on paper look like standards, they are delivered with the same upscale look as the rest of the facility. By the time we left the facility, my mother-in-law was all-but-convinced that this is where she wanted to move. When she actually does decide to move, this is the site she picked. Now, if we could just convince her to actually move and stop talking about it.
