Edencrest at Beaverdale

Edencrest at Beaverdale sits in Des Moines, Iowa, and gives older adults choices like independent living, assisted living, and memory care, all in one place so people can get more help if they need to as time goes on, and it opened in 2017, built by Hubbell Realty Company, and has ties to the IHCA's Premier Partners. The staff is fully trained, friendly, and stays on-site day and night to help, making sure residents get the support they want whether that's for daily tasks, personal care, or just settling in, and they keep things simple for everyone by using individualized service plans after a nursing review so each person gets help that fits their needs, especially folks living with Alzheimer's or dementia in the secured wing, where everyone is watched over and programs keep their needs in mind. You can pick from studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom private apartments that are pet-friendly and come with housekeeping, laundry, utilities, basic cable, and wi-fi included, and the community takes care of repairs, carpet replacement, and general upkeep, helped along by a lifestyle fee paid when moving in. Residents eat daily meals prepared for them, either in a restaurant-style setting or with tray service if needed, and there's a full calendar packed with activities-social events, educational groups, entertainment, outings, and devotional services both at the building and out in the neighborhood-plus there's a library, fitness center with health classes, hair salon, spa, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and safe garden walking trails. Memory care has three support levels, with service fees and added options for more help, and everything's set up so people keep their independence for as long as possible without feeling lost or alone. The community offers respite care too, for short-term stays, and folks can use move-in help to get settled, and there's even personal garages and on-site parking stalls. Rent covers a lot but extra services like registered nurse visits, private transportation, and more help from the Resident Assistant are billed in 15-minute chunks, and extra fees apply for a second person. Monthly rates start at $4,900 for assisted living and $6,000 for memory care, but memory care can go over $7,200 based on care needs. Living here means residents can take buses for outings, worship together, take care of personal grooming with an onsite beautician, and enjoy lots of gatherings inside and outside the building, and everything is designed to offer comfort, company, and care, with security systems in place, and all the big and little things you need to feel at peace.
