Peace of Mind for our Family

There were just a couple small things that didn't go exactly perfectly (logistics wise and nobody's fault) but nothing concerning. My mom had nothing but good things to say about the staff and about the meals. She also had nice things to say about the gentleman who would get her to her appointments in the van. The experience was a positive one.

Knowledgeable staff

The facility was well knowledged and help make the process go smoother. The gentleman in charge of the intake, unfortunately, had taken a position right as my father moved in. A few weeks later, the director of the facility had given word he was leaving also. These two gentlemen specifically helped the process tremendously.

Overall a great place

The facility is very clean and the activities are good! They have had a lot of staffing issues at the facility, not having staff to clean my grandmas room, not having staff at one point to even cook and the administrator had to go cook for awhile in the kitchen alone for the residents. There is disorganization and recent change over in director so things are starting to look up. The main issue is the staffing. The staff they have are very nice, but the lack there of make it hard to get cares or cleaning of the room done and my grandma pays a lot of money to be there.

Edencrest of Sienna Hills

we had to change her level of care to the memory care unit after 2 weeks and I wish we would have been told that from the beginning. more frequent laundry needed and entire place needs a refresh. very friendly. had a fall within a month. my mom didn't participate in any while in the assisted living area and just watches TV in memory care.

Overall pleased

I am basing this off of the memory Care unit since Mom has been there the longest. They're willing to work with families on where to place residents and how to care for each individual resident. With the activities, they could improve by just trying to include the memory care residents more often for having more separate activities for the memory care. Food is hard.. it's tough to cook for that many people and I know they're understaffed. I think they probably do their best.

Review for Edencrest at Siena Hills

It was the nicest place I could find for my brother that met the criteria of having assisted living and memory care. Our main criteria was that we needed a facility that would do a spin down. We agreed to pay for two years with the plan to go to Medicaid after that. They only have a few places for that and I just hope management changes don't affect that plan.. Overall, I am happy with our choice!

Review for Edencrest at Siena Hills

It is a nice community with a good amount of activities that suit many different types of individuals. The staff is friendly, and gives my loved one appropriate care for their needs. The primary factors for choosing this community were proximity to family, cost, and overall feeling of comfort when touring.

Tour of Edencrest

I toured Edencrest at Siena Hills when searching for an Assisted Living facility for my loved one. This facility was nice, but it seemed a little bit dated. However, it was more expensive than some of the other facilities that I toured. They didn't have the type of apartment that my loved one wanted anyway, so I continued on with my search.

Edencrest at Siena Hills

Edencrest is understaffed and they need more help. The girls that worked there and worked with me were fabulous, but the people in their memory care facility were hired from an outside firm. They had to bring staff in because they are so understaffed, because of that his care wasn't as good as it should have been. When I argued with them about this they were very accommodating, willing to listen, and did make some changes. Anyone that puts a family member in a care facility should have a camera in their room. No one takes care of your family member like you will take care of them. If I didn't have a camera in the room, that would've been a sin to me. For me to be able to watch the camera and call in to say he's on the floor or he needs this and that, is invaluable. They're supposed to check on him every 30 minutes, but that wasn't happening because they were so understaffed. The girls in the unit that were there, kind of just sat on their phones. If I was an elderly person and one of the residents who live in their little apartments, I'd rate that a 10/10, as they are looked after. The people in the dementia hall need more attention because they don't have a voice. Assisted living residents can speak up and say what they want or need. There were family members who didn't visit their loved ones in memory care, so they didn't get as much attention. I, personally, visited my loved one often and was bathing him 3 times a week. Although I was paying the [price removed], I was basically the one caring for him (aside from nighttime). I've been to three different facilities with different loved ones, and it's all the same thing. They're all understaffed and if the family doesn't participate in their loved one's care, they're going to get what they get.

tour review

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked this community, we were able to see a lot of different activities for the residents to do. However the rooms were a little smaller and they did not have nursing on the weekends and due to the severity of our loved ones wounds we would of wanted someone there on the weekends.

Pleased with our experience

What stuck out to us about Edencrest was they had single rooms available when we were looking which was important to us. They also had a special where we were able to get a recliner and TV for free. The facility is brand new and very well laid out. It was bright, clean, and overall just well thought through. I think because of covid they have had some short staff situations, but they covered shifts well and things were taken care of. I would recommend them to others looking.

Not The Care The Family Gave, Don't Hit the Mark On Common Sense for Assisted Living

The common areas are really clean. It doesn't seem like the residents don't get a lot of support of cleaning in their apartments. I would suggest you continue to be an advocate for your family member after move-in. I wish the staff would reach out more for needs of our loved ones, and any questions or concerns.

Right now it is working

The cleanliness of the community seems pretty clean, but sometimes our loved one has complained about the smell of cigarettes in the air. Most of the staff members have been friendly, but when we were going over the pricing for the care services we felt they were being a little pushy and urgent to get us to sign off on the care our loved one needed. The value for cost was a sticker shock.

I Would Definitely Recommend

The opening here just feel in my lap. They were great through the whole process. The staff is pleasant and cooperative. They handle my dad's meds well, and handle all aspects of his care well. He likes to play pool here and hasn't lost a game yet. They have an exercise center they go to as a group, and they watch movies and things like that. I haven't seen an activities calendar so far. I think it's a good value here.

Great staff

We chose Edencrest at Siena Hills because of the friendly staff members. They are always helpful and more than willing to answer any questions or concerns that you may have. I do think they could use better quality foods on the meals that they serve. Overall I would recommend to others who are looking.

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 Place I Would Want to Go, If Needed

They are a very welcoming and friendly community. The community cares about the residents. The communication has been good. Edencrest was good at keeping us updated with COVID. The food was amazingly good, wide selections, and good quality. Prior to COVID I was able to eat a few meals with my loved one.

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.
