Set Up Nicely

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.

Good Choice for My Loved

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.

Great fit for dad

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.

My review of Edencrest

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.

Overall a great community

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.

A Nice Place

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.

Not what I expected

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.

Love Eden Crest

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.

So Grateful

I am so grateful to Edencrest Sienna Hills for their excellent care of my sister, who has intermittent problems with memory and dementia. I roomed in the newly opened facility with her for 10 days last year, and every single staff interaction I saw was professional and caring—even when staff had no idea I was nearby. All levels of staff totally exceeded my expectations! At one point a young staff member irritated my sister by telling her a little too stridently that she thought she’d have more fun if she left her room more often—exactly what I’d been saying for days—unsolicited but clearly well-intentioned advice. My sister is frustrated with her loss of independence, but her rare complaints about this reality are always followed by unsolicited praise and gratitude for Edencrest itself—music to a sister’s ears. She had been extremely unhappy in two previous settings, so in my opinion Edencrest Sienna Hills is tried-and-true, and I am so grateful!

Amazing Facility and Staff

Sienna Hills is a beautiful facility! I could not have asked for a better environment for my dad. The staff goes above and beyond to make the residents feel cared for. The staff became like family to us. The Health Care Coordinator personally cared for my dad and showed him so much attention. She watched him enough to recognize subtle differences in his disposition and health. The Activities Coordinator pleasantly encouraged my dad to participate in activities when his preference was to stay in his dark room. The activities were thoroughly enjoyed by my dad once he participated. The meals are very good and there is a variety to choose from. If a resident really likes something that is not on the menu, they seek to accommodate. My dad became very close to the transportation driver. [Removed] truly cared about my dad and was more than a driver. He helped him with a lot of things both physically and emotionally. The Management was equally kind and accommodating. They took my dad in with open arms even during a busy time for them and made the transition a pleasant one for the entire family. Thank you Sienna Hills for everything!!

Large rooms and nice green space

I toured this facility because their other location wasn’t open yet. I really like this community and the rooms and green space are a lot larger than their other location. While on our tour, the marketing director was very nice and seemed to be knowledgeable. The only downfall to this facility is if I was to move my mom in, it would have been really difficult to move all of her furniture down the hall and into an elevator. I would recommend this community to other families.

New facility and nice staff

This is a brand new facility with only four residents right now. The staff seems to be very personal and they aren’t letting my Mother sit around all day. For activities, they offer things like exercise classes, arts/crafts, and they even have seasonal parties. I’ve also eaten the food here and it’s really good. If you don’t like the main option, they do have a café menu you can choose from. The only thing that I can think of they could do better is their communication skills. When my mom is away from the facility for a longer period of time she does have adult diapers. However, the staff has been putting those on her all of the time when she doesn’t need them. I have been talking with the health coordinator and she is checking into it. I would recommend this community to other families.
