Highmark Senior Living

This is a facility who really has their resident’s best interest at heart! There are many organized events and activities for the residents to get involved in and attend. Everyone I met was friendly and helpful.

My aunt lived in another state. She is 91 years old . She was all alone in that state,independent ! She was found outside unconscious by the fire department and hospitalized for 7 days. She had not taken her medicine or paid her electric bill. Something had to be done! Family in CA, Montana, and Iowa met! It was decided to move her to Iowa since her 6 kids were buried there. I am in Iowa and started looking for an Assisted Care or Memory Care placement. I called A Place for Mom. They recommended several places near me. I started visiting places by me. When I got to Edencrest at Timberline I knew I had found the right place! It’s very clean and friendly. Staff bent over to help me pick between assisted care or memory care. She started out in memory care and now 3 months later we moved her to assisted care. The nursing director helped us all the time. I would highly recommend this place to you!

Extremely helpful in getting my 103 yr. old mother get settled. They go out of their way . Staff and residents are SO friendly. Beautiful inside and out. Not so overpowering as some facilities are. I would highly recommend!!!

The place is always clean and staff is easy to find they will have issues but they get on them before I have said anything.

Fun, vibrant, safe and clean. The staff treat your parent/family member with respect and kindness. Not a cold sterile old folks home. A place they can still be adults and not just another number.

Such a vibrant community set in the heart of my Dad's hometown of Beaverdale! He loves the staff and residents and says he enjoys sitting out front on Beaver Ave watching the traffic go by! Dad loves it and it was an easy adjustment for him! Thank you to all who made this a seamless move for him from the tour to the move in! He is happy!

Mom loves living here and has made some great friends! The staff is always very kind and courteous. She enjoys the musicals performances and the movie theatre! I would highly recommend! Thank you Edencrest!

I've had the privilege to volunteer many times at Eden Crest and have been truly impressed each time at how kind, compassionate and fun the staff are. I would feel comfortable with my parents or loved one living here. It is always clean and staff are seen talking with the residents like they are family. I have observed residents to appear comfortable, happy and genuinely treated with respect and care. Eden Crest is cozy and inviting and the staff are just delightful. I have had many interactions with the director who is nothing but genuine, kind, and shows a genuine interest in ensuring that the residents are happy, comfortable and provided with the best level of quality care and fun environment. It is also located right in the heart of Beaverdale which is a lovely and safe neighborhood nestled in Des Moines.

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.

The facility is new and laid out so that it is easy to get around and get to what you want the staff is very caring and helpful and are always there for you I would definitely recommend Edencrest to others. The fact that I moved here should be proof of that

Very clean, all staff that we interacted with was friendly and helpful. The front office staff bent over backwards to help us at a very difficult time for our family. Seriously great staff.

We toured looking for my Mom. We are just starting to look, but loved the business/activities here and the cleanliness. Everyone was so friendly from the tour guide to those we met! Thanks!

Mom is very happy, very well taken care of. This community is very busy. Lots to offer. Lots of outings. She loves it!!

Mom loves her apartment! She loves the activities and loves breakfast!! Everyone is so nice!

So happy we found Edencrest at BD! Dad is no longer lonely! He has friends, is taken care of and enjoys life again!

Our Edencrest Beaverdale tour was excellent. [name removed] was very friendly and informative. Beaverdale didn't have the best view of the outdoors. But the ambiance was better there than Edencrest Green Meadows.

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.

Our loved one likes the complex a lot. The meals have not been great because the chef has quit. Our loved one has really has enjoyed participating in the activities.

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.

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked this community, we were able to see a lot of different activities for the residents to do. However the rooms were a little smaller and they did not have nursing on the weekends and due to the severity of our loved ones wounds we would of wanted someone there on the weekends.
