What this means for your family

Edenwald offers a beautiful, activity-rich environment where many residents thrive long-term. However, families should be aware of reports regarding inconsistent staff professionalism in the cafe and during tours; we recommend visiting during different times of the day to observe staff interactions firsthand.

Questions for Your Tour

  • 1Given Edenwald's strong reputation for engaging activities, could you walk us through a sample weekly calendar and how you help new residents integrate into these programs?
  • 2We noticed that the facility maintains a 5-star CMS staffing rating; how does this high level of staffing translate into the daily hands-on care my loved one will receive?
  • 3We’ve read that the campus is beautifully maintained, but we are also interested in the culture of the staff; how do you ensure that every interaction, whether in the cafe or during a tour, remains consistently warm and professional?
  • 4With 6 state violations recorded in the last year, could you explain the steps the facility has taken to address those specific concerns and prevent them from recurring?
  • 5I noticed that management is active in responding to online feedback; how do you use that family input to improve the quality of life for residents on a day-to-day basis?
  • 6Since Edenwald is a smaller community of 70 residents, how does this size benefit the speed and quality of your medical response during an urgent health situation?

Key Review Excerpts

The front desk staff are wonderful, and so patient with guests and residents alike (even when people are being rude to them). The housekeeping and dining staff are friendly and patient, and the maintenance crew are always helpful.

Independent living family member · 2023★★★★★

As an active woman she enjoyed life at Edenwald immensely: meals and programs, exercise classes and volunteer opportunities, flowers to admire and card games to play, friendly people and caring staff. She thrived in her new life.

Long-term resident's family · 2020★★★★★
