Expensive and Health Hazzard
We were residents in Independent Living for 32 months at cost of approx. $8176 a month ( and monthly fees increase each year 3%+). Spouse transferred to Long Term Care at $362 a day. This did not result in adequate care. She suffered falls, falling on cold shower floor for 20 minutes, sleepng in cold room , had to wear coat all night and told to keep door open so heat from hall . Fell got head hit and black eye ,no report , and would wait 30 minutes for calls to be answered., After 36 days , outside medical help and family moved her because we were concerned for her safety.
Edgewater glitter is misleading , investigate, view ALL facilities be for signing .

Small, Confined Memory Care
This was a huge complex with independent and assisted living and memory care. I would not put it very high on my list. I think they're fine but they ab do not compare to the place I chose for my wife. I only met with one lady and I went over there because we had friends who live there in independent living.
They had one opening in the memory care but when I saw the room I didn't like it. It was just sort of dark and you know the hallways were not as bright or open as another place. It was small and confined.

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:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.
