The staff is very caring we have taken my mom out on a couple of vacations and she had a hospital stay. They called and checked on her. When she was ready to go back I called the RN and she was on top of everything and very willing to get everything mom needed together for us to leave for vacation the next morning. I have no complaints about Story point or the faculty. She made new friends right away. Her apartment is big enough for her and more items than she needs, but that's not the facilities fault. To sum this up She's happy to be there.

Review for Edencrest at The Tuscany

The facility is very clean, food good, and staff very caring and responsive. The room is the size of a studio apartment with onsuite bathroom . Any questions I had were handled right away.

Very pleasant environment. People were friendly. Residents were eager to show what they do and welcomed us. [name removed] explained the rooms and how the schedule runs. We were able to walk with one of the residents and enjoyed her sweet smile.

Weekend staff were not so good, they were all contracted staff. They were very expensive and charged me for 15 days after she died. This is not a place I would consider if I need it.

Great place for what my dad needs right now. It's comforting to know he can age in place in the same facility

there are many activities offered, my dad has not taken part in them. The key fobs they use are hard for my dad, he is used to a regular key and lock. He struggles even after 6 weeks or more of being there. We chose Edencrest for Location - close to my brother and me. Cost- they ran a special price for the first 12 months.

Our Family's Experience

Very nice facility. The staff is extremely helpful and always looking for ways they can help residents. Facility is always clean. Elegantly decorated common areas for season or holiday. Menu could be more varied. Staff is very accommodating if resident wants special food while ill.

Frustrated

The care my mother receives is professional and timely for medical and physical needs. Memory care staff is friendly and helpful. However, more staff training is needed in the memory unity. My frustration is with lack of communication and mail processing. Tuscany has had a lot of staff turnover in its upper staff positions and its phone system seems to have been overhauled so my contacts are confusing. As my mother’s dementia worsens staff is challenged to get her to comply with hygiene care and other tasks. The IMORTANT thing is mom’s care and safety which I have NO issues with. I’ve learned that some things you have to let go of and not make it an issue. The facility it’s self is clean, home like atmosphere and beautiful. Not sure why these facilities leave out this information in their brochures but this location is NOT Medicaid approved so please take that into consideration when making decisions. Overall I’m pleased with most, more importantly mom is safe, clean and content.

Satisfied

I have absolutely no complaints. My family member is very satisfied and likes it there. They come in once every two weeks to do some light cleaning, and they keep it very clean. The staff are friendly and have been more than helpful. He's satisfied with the food. They have activities and go on outings, which he enjoys. They're doing what hey said they would do, and he's perfectly happy. I think the cost for all of these types of places is too high - the cost is really the only downside to the whole thing.

Highly recommend

My father had a wonderful experience with Edencrest. The residents are so nice and welcoming. They made him feel like he was part of the family the minute he walked into the facility. The staff showed expertise in responding to Dad’s needs. We were very impressed at the response time for an emergency and the frequency of visits from them. I highly recommend this facility to others.

Sketchy

The aides have not had training or any experience. Mom was dying from cancer. They had to be reminded every hour to give her medicine. Two of the girls asked me which arm to use for the morphine. It was liquid and I had to teach them how to put it in her mouth. No supervision whatsoever. Director too busy thinking of himself to actually do his job. Think twice about trusting them with your loved one.

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:

  • Know Iowa’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
