Overview of Edgewater, a WesleyLife Community for Healthy Living

Edgewater, a WesleyLife Community for Healthy Living, in West Des Moines, IA, handles skilled nursing and nursing home care. Memory care, assisted living, independent living, and adult day care fill in the remainder of what it offers.

Independent living includes a community’s services but not any daily care. Staff step in to help with bathing, dressing, and managing medication at the assisted living level. Memory care combines watchful staff with a secured space. Licensed nurses carry out the clinical work on the nursing home and skilled nursing side.

Day participants spend the day at Edgewater and head home for the night when it’s over. At 40 beds, the community is small enough for residents and staff to know one another well. Two-bedroom units give a couple, or a person living with a companion, the extra room, and one-bedroom units are the other option for people moving in alone.

Nursing time per resident reaches 4 hours and 56 minutes daily. Payment is by Medicare or by private pay. A caregiver’s own surgery and recovery is one reason families book a short respite stay, and rehabilitation services cover the therapy side of getting better.

A resident who arrives for independent living may later need memory care or nursing, and every one of those levels is already on the service list here. Pets can live here as well. Abby Harlacher serves as administrator.
