A coffee shop and a movie theater aren’t things you’d expect inside an assisted living community, but Edgewood Vista & Village in Bismarck has both, along with a chapel and fitness center, all built into an 85-bed, three-story building at 3124 Colorado Lane in Burleigh County. Edgewood Senior Living operates it, offering studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units depending on what a resident needs.
Getting around outside the building is another matter entirely. Walk Score comes in at 6, about as car-dependent as this metric gets, so residents and visiting family will do essentially everything by car here.
What sets the care model apart is depth beyond daily assistance. Therapy services, home health, and hospice care are all delivered on-site through Edgewood’s own healthcare services division, which means residents facing more advanced or end-of-life care needs don’t necessarily have to leave the community to access them. Transportation services cover the trips that do require going off-site.
What Edgewood Vista & Village offers is a genuinely amenity-rich building paired with an unusually deep on-site care continuum, from routine therapy through hospice, in a stretch of Bismarck where the neighborhood itself offers little on foot.

Their Aging Experience program helps families and the community’s care team in understanding the challenges of aging, so they can better support residents or their loved ones in their journey. Helping residents increase their self- confidence, build new skills, and help to improve ones you already have, the community offers an array of lifelong learning programs through guest speakers, fine arts programs, and educational series.
Amy Deacon is the listed contact for Lakeview Landing, Inc., a 30-bed assisted living and memory care community at 4401 21st St SE in Mandan, North Dakota’s 21st Street Southeast neighborhood. EWR Mandan Lakewood SH LLC operates the facility, which is a building with two stories, and studio housing as its available layout option.
Getting to the facility6 hand around the surrounding area to run errands without a car is tough here. The Walk Score sits at 17, car-dependent, so most errands mean driving.
Two things stand out about Lakeview Landing: first, it’s pet friendly, so a resident’s cat or dog doesn’t have to stay behind. Second, it offers both assisted living and memory care under one roof, which means a resident’s care level can shift without a move to a new building. Transportation services and fitness and recreation options round out daily life.
This is a small, modest community by the numbers; thirty beds, two floors, studio apartments, a pet-friendly policy, and basic transportation and recreation support. It reads less like a flagship community and more like a straightforward, no-frills option for families who want assisted living and memory care in the same Mandan building without a long list of extras.
Edgewood Bismarck Senior Living is a senior living community in Bismarck, ND. It offers a range of services including independent living, assisted living, memory care, short-term stays, and adult day services. The community is dedicated to improving the quality of life for seniors.
