Overview of Edencrest at Kettlestone

Facebook

Edencrest at Kettlestone is a 120-bed senior living community at 805 SE Tallgrass Lane in Waukee, Iowa. Managed by Miah Baum and operated by Highmark Senior Living, the facility provides independent living, assisted living, and memory care under license S0485. Current data reports an occupancy of approximately 24% with 29 residents, a level typical for a newer program establishing its presence. While the neighborhood is developing, the location earns a Walk Score of 29, meaning residents generally utilize the facility’s scheduled transportation for local medical and retail needs.

State monitoring records from the Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing indicate a strong initial compliance record. Since opening in 2024, the facility has undergone two major reviews, resulting in an annual deficiency average 96% lower than the state benchmark. A March 2026 survey for the memory care program resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. Earlier documentation in late 2024 identified two administrative findings regarding staff background check procedures, which were promptly addressed with no documented fines or resident care violations.

Clinical care is delivered by a 24-hour on-site team providing medication management, incontinence care, and high-acuity health monitoring. Professional services include specialized dementia care and on-site nursing oversight. Monthly costs for independent living begin at approximately $3,000, while assisted living starts at $4,700 and memory care at $6,200. These fees cover personalized care plans and wellness coordination through partners like Fox Therapy.

The residential environment features modern apartments with kitchenettes and private bathrooms designed for accessibility. Shared amenities include restaurant-style dining with seasonal menus, a full-service salon, and a fitness center. Social engagement is supported through arts and crafts, book clubs, and devotional activities. The community is pet-friendly and includes landscaped outdoor gardens and walking trails.

Individuals seeking a modern, multi-level care campus with integrated wellness programming may find this setting appropriate. Prospective representatives should ask directly about the most recent staff screening audits and confirm current monthly rates for specific apartment layouts before making a placement decision.
