Innovative Retirement Living with Active Life at Edgewater

How do retirement communities meet their residents’ current, changing and continuing needs? At Edgewater, we do it by considering the needs of the entire person.

Our Active Life roadmap guides the services and amenities we implement to help residents enjoy a richer, more active retirement.

A remarkable amount of planning went into the fine details behind Edgewater’s brick and mortar. But it’s our focus on the whole person that makes Active Life an innovative new idea.

By catering to every aspect of wellness, we believe we can create a healthier, more fulfilling experience for every resident. And that’s the philosophy that sets Edgewater apart from other Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRC).

From staffing to independent living floor plans to the accessible Michael's Landing community, in which Edgewater is nestled, we’re dedicated to integrating the social, vocational, spiritual, physical, intellectual and emotional facets of every resident’s life.

That means we don’t just offer a fitness room our instructors create personalized programs and guide you on proper equipment use.

We not only offer dining and housekeeping services we offer you the freedom and flexibility to select only the active retirement services and amenities that suit your lifestyle.

Wireless Internet access throughout the community makes computer tasks a breeze. And concierge services take time-consuming errands off your to-do list.

Besides the many flexible, convenient services available to enhance your current active lifestyle, Edgewater offers a full continuum of health services to meet the changing and continuing needs of our residents. As a resident of Edgewater, you’ll have the peace of mind that should you ever need it, assisted living, dementia care, and skilled nursing services are available to you.

Perhaps one of Edgewater’s most unique and innovative features is our Nursing Service Households. Designed to take the place of traditional nursing homes, our Service Households allow residents to receive skilled nursing care in a familiar, attractive environment, situated in neighborhoods and communities feeling just like home. Each of Edgewater’s four Service Households is comprised of 10 private bedrooms, creating a residential experience unlike any nursing facility in Central Iowa.

Envision a community where you can experience retirement living on your own terms!
