Great place for what my dad needs right now. It's comforting to know he can age in place in the same facility

Our Family's Experience
Very nice facility. The staff is extremely helpful and always looking for ways they can help residents. Facility is always clean. Elegantly decorated common areas for season or holiday. Menu could be more varied. Staff is very accommodating if resident wants special food while ill.

Frustrated
The care my mother receives is professional and timely for medical and physical needs. Memory care staff is friendly and helpful. However, more staff training is needed in the memory unity. My frustration is with lack of communication and mail processing. Tuscany has had a lot of staff turnover in its upper staff positions and its phone system seems to have been overhauled so my contacts are confusing. As my mother’s dementia worsens staff is challenged to get her to comply with hygiene care and other tasks. The IMORTANT thing is mom’s care and safety which I have NO issues with. I’ve learned that some things you have to let go of and not make it an issue. The facility it’s self is clean, home like atmosphere and beautiful. Not sure why these facilities leave out this information in their brochures but this location is NOT Medicaid approved so please take that into consideration when making decisions. Overall I’m pleased with most, more importantly mom is safe, clean and content.

Response from Edencrest at The Tuscany
June 5, 2024
We take a lot of pride in how we care for the residents in our community, so we appreciate you noticing and sharing your review with us. We’re sorry you have trouble getting a hold of our staff; that’s frustrating. Our staff is expected to be available for residents and our hope is that they were simply busy with someone else at the time. Either way, we’ve taken steps to address this thanks to your note. Please feel free reach out to highmarkinfo@highmarkseniorliving.com with any further comments, concerns, or suggestions you wish to share.

Satisfied
I have absolutely no complaints. My family member is very satisfied and likes it there. They come in once every two weeks to do some light cleaning, and they keep it very clean. The staff are friendly and have been more than helpful. He's satisfied with the food. They have activities and go on outings, which he enjoys. They're doing what hey said they would do, and he's perfectly happy. I think the cost for all of these types of places is too high - the cost is really the only downside to the whole thing.

Highly recommend
My father had a wonderful experience with Edencrest. The residents are so nice and welcoming. They made him feel like he was part of the family the minute he walked into the facility. The staff showed expertise in responding to Dad’s needs. We were very impressed at the response time for an emergency and the frequency of visits from them. I highly recommend this facility to others.

Sketchy
The aides have not had training or any experience. Mom was dying from cancer. They had to be reminded every hour to give her medicine. Two of the girls asked me which arm to use for the morphine. It was liquid and I had to teach them how to put it in her mouth. No supervision whatsoever. Director too busy thinking of himself to actually do his job. Think twice about trusting them with your loved one.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Iowa regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Iowa regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Edencrest at The Tuscany 7.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
