Edencrest at The Legacy
There has been a lot of turnover so I think they are working on it. But staff do not say hi to visitors and no one knows their names. The kitchen staff has been new a few times. It appears they do not plan menus taking the residence age and abilities to eat what they cook. Most things are fried and coated. I have personally eaten there and it was overcooked and cold. They have removed the salad bar so no other choice. I feel they at least need to always have fresh fruits available and yogurts. Casseroles and foods that are more easily digested.

Food is such a huge part of the quality care and effort we put into making Edencrest a great community, so reading this review really doesn’t align with what our goals are for residents. We will take this matter to our dedicated Culinary Team to gain a better understanding.

A long way to go from my families view..
Forced to take meds and put on wander guard device. The washing machines had 6 inch wide greasy ring around the top of the tub. Most staff members were friendly and pleasant but a few were a bit cold and overly forceful. Care providers were mostly decent but a few didn't understand that the patient has a right to refuse medication. Meals were very elementary school like with an over abundance of pork meals and lunch meat sandwiches. The activities were very simple but included a lot of live music which saves the category. Way too expensive for the value received, I cooked 95% of our meals, we had to take our laundry to Laundromat as I had 7 new shirts permanently stained by the staff's laundering skills.

Would recommend, Great Staff
When Mom was there, the staff was awesome. They did a fantastic job. The staffing has changed since then, so I can't say now. But I would say to check them out. It seemed like she was home. Her dementia escalated quickly, so she was only there for a month, but [names removed] were like family.

Edencrest at The Legacy gets 5 stars in all categories. What sticks out the most about the facility is the caring staff who communicate with the residents and their families. I have many friends and extended family members who are here. I would highly recommend them.

Feels like family
We chose Edencrest at The Legacy because the director made us a part of the family rate second that we walked in for our tour. All of the residents and staff were very friendly and welcoming. When we walked into the memory care unit there was a lady who was asking some questions and she just included her in our tour and she was talking to us both and answering all of our questions. You just get a good feeling the second you walk in. During the tour you could tell money was not what motivating her, she really truly cared. We would definitely recommend The Legacy to others looking.

We chose Edencrest because my father wanted a smaller facility to be in. We had one of the smallest apartment sizes that they offer, but they have various sizes to choose from. With covid everything was limited but overall I would recommend to others looking

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.
