The Edgewater community campus in West Des Moines includes 50 acres of natural beauty framed by lush natural areas, manicured gardens, and lively water features with tumbling falls and natural ponds. Offering a full continuum of care — including independent living, assisted living, memory support, long-term care, and short-term rehabilitation — Edgewater is a WesleyLife Community for Healthy Living.

Your Days, Spent Your Way

Welcome to Edgewater! A concierge is on hand to assist with whatever your needs may be. Dinner and every meal, for that matter — is served in delicious style. New friends converge for drinks, wandering over from their villas or in from their apartment homes. And later? Dance to the music of a visiting band, enjoy a lecture from a local historian, or watch a show in the performing arts center.

Welcome to Edgewater!

Edgewater is far more than a beautiful campus and grounds. We’re a community filled with residents who have much to give to the greater community around them and commit to leaving the world a better place than they found it. We all have a need for purpose and meaning in our lives, and that doesn’t stop when we reach a certain age. For Edgewater residents, every day is an opportunity to do something good in the world.

We make a promise to our residents: If they deplete their financial resources through no fault of their own, they will never be asked to leave their homes with us or experience a reduction in the degree of care they receive.

West Des Moines tops the lists.

For years, West Des Moines has consistently made an appearance on “best-places-to-live” lists for reasons ranging from the cost of living to higher education to, you guessed it, favorability for retirement. Just two miles from Jordan Creek Town Center, Edgewater is close to shopping, breweries, and live entertainment.
