Overview of Edencrest at Kettlestone

Edencrest at Kettlestone in Waukee, IA offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Independent living gives residents private living space along with community services, without daily care.

Having several care levels may suit someone whose support needs grow over time.

The community has 120 beds. Monthly starting prices are $2,900 for independent living, $2,900 for assisted living, and $5,600 for memory care. The higher memory care rate corresponds to the secured setting and supervision that care includes.

Transportation options and outings can support participation in activities away from the community. Outdoor gardens, patios, and walking trails offer places to spend time outside. A salon and spa, fitness center, health classes, and rehabilitation services on site give residents access to personal care, exercise, and therapy without arranging separate transportation. Respite care offers short stays for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover, while short term rehabilitation provides a temporary setting for recovery focused therapy.
