A good experience

The rooms are a good size, they are similar to empty apartments. Our loved one was in a one bedroom apartment which had plenty of space for him.

I'm Confident That Beaverdale is Delivering the Best Care For My Mom

There are activities that are still going on outside for the residents. They have had musicians, balloon artists come in, along with other activities performing outside of the community. I would recommend this community to friends. We are able to have window visits. My loved one doesn't think the food is the best.

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.

This community made the transitions very informative and compassionate

Edencrest community felt more like a resort appearance, it did not have that industrial hospital feel to it. They have a nice assortment of rooms to choose from. Our loved one had a kitchen area, a living room area, and a bedroom. They have tried to keep some activities going during this time, they are really trying their best to keep the residents active and engaged. Over the summer they did an inside little state fair with small contests. They also brought in musicians to play outside so the residents could open up their windows and listen to them play.

The facility is new and very clean. The personnel were very pleasant and were quick to answer any questions we had. There will be more questions when we make a return tour with Mother to get her reaction. I was impressed with the overall facility.

Location Is Perfect

We toured a few different communities and they were all very nice and offered what we were looking for but this one had the location going for it the location is much closer to us than any of the others. The staff is very friendly and caring. Dad seems to be happy here he is slowly starting to socialize more and hopefully it will increase as time goes by. He hasn't complained about the food so I am assuming he is liking it. We are very pleased with this community and the care he is getting.

A great looking place

This community was our second choice. The staff we met were friendly and answered our questions. The community seemed clean and they seem to offer some nice amenities and activities. This community did not have the skilled nursing care that my loved one required so we chose a community that offered this.

Tour for care

We toured this community and liked the staff that was caring and were able to answer the questions that we had on the care that is available. They do offer activities that are available. We would suggest that other families tour this community for the care and value of a loved one's needs.

I took a tour!

I took a few tours with one being of Edencrest at Green Meadows. This place was nice, it was clean and everyone from the most part was friendly. Some of the places, though, would not call me back after they evaluated my mother which was very discouraging.

They Really Care About Their Residents at This Community

My father at this moment is in rehab, but once he gets better he will be returning back to this community. This is a good, safe community, and I'am comfortable with him returning. They are taking good care of him, and his needs. They have a really good staff at this community. They are helpful, and kind. They do a good job keeping the facility, and his room well-kept. They really care about their residents at this facility. This is a community I would recommend, it is a nice place.

Might be good for your loved one

I toured this community. The staff were nice, but the community seems a little disorganized. They did not have the layout that we were looking for due to the needs we had. We did not lock down community. Families should tour this community for the care of a loved one.

Mother-in-law is having a hard time acclimating

My mother-in-law is a resident here and she is having a difficult time adjusting. I have noticed they could use more staff in the afternoons and evenings. The staff is pretty helpful and friendly. She isn't involved in activities but they encourage her. The meals are okay.

Excellent place!

The Edencrest at Green Meadows was a very nice place to tour. It was clean and everyone was very friendly. The thing that we did not like was the price. It was out of our league. It was a bigger place.

Very nice place, overall

Overall we're very pleased with how things have turned out at Edencrest at Riverwoods. The facility itself is very nice. It is clean, well kept, and comfortable feeling. They also do a great job with the food, I've heard nothing but good things from Mom about it! Initially they felt a little understaffed, but they've been adding people and the service has gotten better as the new people settle in.

I think they could improve on their staffing, they are a understaffed at the moment. Aside from that though, it has been a great experience. They are friendly and caring and concerned about each of the residents and the food is good too.
