The ONLY reason for 2 stars is food and asthetics. Waits for call lights to be answered in the 2+ weeks my family member was there often exceeded 2 hours. This means left on the toilet for 2 hours, waiting for pain meds for 2 hours, being told the nurse was too busy to provide PRN pain meds until she came to provide regularly scheduled meds, left up in chair past midnight because they were not ready for bed at 8 when they came to put her to bed. Nurses aides SLEEPING on couches during the night shift as well as just flat out rude nursing staff. During care conference I was tild staff to paatient ratio was at minimum 1:5. If so, it makes it even more sad that call lights cannot be answered timely. Being put on the toilet and being told they have to go finish a shower, meaning another resident was left alone in the shower. These are not things a facility with that care ratio have to do. I worked in and around long term care for 20+ years. In facilities that may not look as fancy, but give 100 times better CARE than this one. My dad always said, you can polish anything until it shines….it doesnt make it any better than the unpolished one. Edgewater is the epitome of a facility hiding behind a fancy appearance providing at best mediocre and at worst very poor care. I would NEVER recommend to anyone I care about. Just because it shines like a diamond, the care is coal.

Edgewater is amazing! I have a relative who lives there. The staff are great, especially Samira in the kitchen. She encourages my grandma to eat better, makes sure she has everything she needs and always has a smile on her face and a minute to chat with her. It makes my grandma's day to see her. Definitely recommend Edgewater.

A few months ago I scheduled a tour a tour with Connie of the Edgewater Facilities. I was most impressed with the accommodations, facilities and services. I contemplated to sign up and get on the list. The only reason I did not is because my friends are all in Ames and I instead signed up for a local Independent Living Community with similar facilities, services and amenities. Otherwise I wouldn’t have hesitated at all to sign up. Overall, I was most impressed what Edgewater has to offer.

Like a number of others, I moved here 11 years ago, with the idea that this would be the last major move I made. Edgewater's not perfect, but I didn't expect it to be. The facilities are good and generally well-maintained. For the most part the staff is very accommodating, knowledgeable and willing to help. I've had good responses when there have been problems; maybe not quite the response I wanted, but a pretty good one, and I've never felt that I was ignored, put off or discounted in any way. I have a very good life here, and get good care from both my friends and the staff when I need it. It's a good place to live, especially when you're never sure exactly what level of care you'll need. All in all, I felt 11 years ago that this was the best decision I ever made, and I still feel that way.

Edgewater is a way to provide us a planned life-long array of educational, cultural, spiritual and physical experiences. A priority of the residents is to maintain a balanced and happy life. We have been residents of Edgewater 9 years and we appreciate that the residents at Edgewater come from many different career, life and educational experiences. We have found that all resident's life stories are very interesting and fun to learn. If you choose to become engaged in learning the different stories about each resident, you can make many new friends. A unique asset for all involved. We preferred to select a community like Edgewater that offers independent living, assisted living, memory care and long term care. These services being available as our needs could change. Is Edgewater perfect? NO. Is life perfect? NO. We have found that the Edgewater residents and the team members can work together to identify reasonable solutions to challenges if or when they occur. - The Walters

I was a patient at Edgewater after a knee replacement a year ago, exactly. I have suggested Edgewater to several people since. The staff is welcoming and more than helpful. One will feel safe and cared for instantly. Physical therapy is difficult after a lnee replacement, and the professional therapists take it seriously with one major goal...to get you on your feet and ready for home. Edgewater will be a positive experience for any patient, and an important decision that will be successful.
