Highmark Senior Living

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.

What stuck out to us about Edencrest was they had single rooms available when we were looking which was important to us. They also had a special where we were able to get a recliner and TV for free. The facility is brand new and very well laid out. It was bright, clean, and overall just well thought through. I think because of covid they have had some short staff situations, but they covered shifts well and things were taken care of. I would recommend them to others looking.

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.

We have not been there for the meals ourselves but from looking off the menu they look appetizing. Our loved one does not always participate in the activities but what she does, she really enjoys. We like the size of the community, with it being smaller we feel our loved one can get around easily. We would recommend this community to other family and friends.

Top choice at this point, just not sure we can make it work financially. Good location, very nice facility, friendly staff.

The opening here just feel in my lap. They were great through the whole process. The staff is pleasant and cooperative. They handle my dad's meds well, and handle all aspects of his care well. He likes to play pool here and hasn't lost a game yet. They have an exercise center they go to as a group, and they watch movies and things like that. I haven't seen an activities calendar so far. I think it's a good value here.

It is a good place to be for your loved ones. The way the community is set up is good. The rooms are roomy, the staff is nice, and it is clean. The food was good. If they would have had additional meal choices for the residents it would have been better.

I would recommend this community, it was a good choice for my loved one. The people really care for the residents that live here. The communication was good with the staff and families. I don't think I would change anything about the community.

My loved one seemed to enjoy the community. You can't see your loved one without a negative test. The community was very nice I would recommend this community to others

We chose Edencrest because they allowed my dad to have his 3 cats. The room sizes here are really good, they are very spacious. The community is really supportive, if I have any problems I can call the director and reach out to him or I can call any nurses and ask questions, they are very responsive. I would recommend the community.

I do think Edencrest is a nice facility. It is clean and pretty and new from the little bit I have been to see. I visit my mom once a week so I do interact with the staff members, they are always polite and helpful. From what my mom has said, they have been doing quite a bit of activities that she enjoys. Overall, I have not been able to spend much time in here but I would recommend. My mom seems happy here.

What stuck out to us about Edencrest at Siena Hills was the friendliness of the staff that visited with us and their interaction with my mom and dad to make sure everything was to their liking when they moved in. Their memory unit is great, they made accommodations so that my parents could stay together. After a while, we moved them into a bigger room and they loved it. I just think the staff goes above and beyond for their residents. The food here is tremendous as well. All around they do an excellent job.

Edencrest at Green Meadows is a very nice, very clean place. The staff knows the residents on a first-name basis. The food is good when it is served in the dining room. The room sizes are good. They have some outdoor space for the residents to use.

The location is good. Edencrest has a good reputation. My husband was there for respite care. He liked the food. I thought the staff was friendly and helpful. I would recommend Edencrest to friends and family.

At first, the staff were very helpful, friendly, and willing to work with us. But after that, I felt that in memory care, she should have gotten more attention than was provided. We have an urgency in placement, and we chose that community because they had availability and the option to transfer to our first choice sister community that was full at the time. But after two weeks, we had to move my mom to inpatient hospice. I really felt that the staff had the attitude that my mom wasn't important anymore because she was leaving.

Good location, can see dad living there, has a large number of residents to find things in common with like sports, their careers, books, card games, etc, there were more lunch options than at other places including a soup and salad bar that had a lot of his favorite items on it. Relaxing areas to socialize including a back deck where the deers and birds are fed, looked just like his backyard at home. Rooms were good size with assistants there to help him at certain times as needed. Seriously looking at this one as being the right fit for our dad.

My mother n law moved to Eden Crest at the end of January. She had been at another assisted living facility in Ankeny. It was just too big and over whelming for her. Eden Crest feels more like home and the staff has been incredible. So glad to have her someplace where she is so well cared for.

Located in an area that offers views of nature, deer and squirrels. The rooms offer adequate space, private bath with walk in shower. Secure facility. The staff seemed to be actively engaging the residents and the atmosphere was very calm and quiet. We hope to move our loved one here.
