The Reinvention of Retirement Living

It started as a dream a few years ago - to extend the Wesley Retirement Services ministry to active senior citizens in the growing western suburbs of Des Moines, Iowa. Beginning with a beautiful acreage, we embarked on creating our newest active adult retirement community - a venture greatly enhanced by our 60 years of senior housing and services experience from which to draw ideas.

What we came up with is a distinctive new approach that enables senior adults to stay engaged in - even expand upon - their pre-retirement lifestyle. We call it the Active Life Advantage.

Located in the master-planned community of Michael's Landing in West Des Moines, we feel Edgewater’s location is the perfect backdrop for creating the active lifestyle our residents desire. Proximity to shopping, dining, churches, and service providers in the Jordan Creek area is only one advantage to our location. Sitting atop the nearly 400 acres of Michael's Landing, prairie-styled Edgewater will offer incredible views of the river valley, looking across lush rolling hillside.

Of course it takes more than a beautiful setting to create an outstanding retirement community. And Edgewater delivers. From personalized fitness and wellness programs to flexible dining and service amenity options, wireless Internet access, time-saving concierge services, and priority access to a full continuum of Health Services, including assisted living, dementia care, and skilled nursing services, residents will have everything they need to enjoy a happier, healthier, more active retirement.

Thanks to its location, lifestyle opportunities and commitment to quality retirement living, Edgewater is filling up fast. The Edgewater CCRC plan consists of a one-time, 90% refundable entrance fee and a monthly service fee, based on the independent living Apartment Home or Villa you select.
