I toured Edgewater, and it was very nice. The staff were very helpful.
I visited a 1-bedroom. It was occupied by a lady who lived there, and she said she was happy. I would say it looked a little crowded; she had a lot of furniture. I'm sure that's about true of all of them, but they were plenty big enough.
I think there was a swimming pool and exercise room. I think there were some people playing cards. I also think there was a small library.
They had a very pleasant landscape. It's out in the far west end of town. There was more countryside around it and not many buildings.

This is our 9th year at EW. Interactions with staff are close, informative, and caring. While there are some smaller apartments (with multiple rooms), the larger places are in the most demand. Post-pandemic, residents enjoy concerts, movies, special events (for American Asian Pacific Islander commemoration there was a hula dancer, singer with ukulele, and an ice sculpture. Amenities include beauty salon, massage, footsore, marketplace, 2 restaurants, full bar, cribbage & other games. We have a wonderful new chef.

Edgewater is a large senior living community offering Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care and Long-term Care in West Des Moines. My parents had a good experience in an Independent Living apartment at Edgewater. However, we were disappointed when they moved to Assisted Living, because the assistance available is somewhat limited. Individuals with a special diet or needing assistance with transfers are not accommodated and are forced into Long-term Care at much higher cost. Our experience with the Long-term Care unit was wholly unsatisfactory. High staff turnover, combined with inadequate training, dirty living conditions, staff sleeping on duty and response times that exceeded 30 minutes, layers of ineffective, bureaucratic management that don’t communicate and lack accountability are just some of the issues. So we moved our loved ones out of Edgewater to another much smaller Assisted Living community that that is happy to provide our loved ones with the assistance that they require.

Expensive total cost $8170 a month in IL. Spouse resident in Health Center Long Term Care for 38 days and moved upon care concerns with black eye, sleeping all night with coat on due to cold room ( and staff did not notice I found her next morning ). I and outside medical staff had lots of concern for poor level of care we observed. I urge anyone thinking of Edgewater to investigate completely. See all areas of care before you sign agreement. I moved and my wife is in a safer facility.
