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.

The WesleyLife Promise

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. Assistance from the Good Samaritan Fund at Edgewater can make a world of difference to a resident in need.

West Des Moines tops the lists.

Just two miles from Jordan Creek Town Center, Edgewater is close to shopping, breweries, and live entertainment.
