Map & Directions

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 still natural ponds. Offering a full continuum of care – 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 to 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.
