Review

Edgewood Vista has shown itself to be more than just a place of residence for my mom. She lived there for seven years, and during that time I watched the staff - from the management team to the cleaning crew, the nursing staff, the cooks, and every person who keeps the place running - consistently go above and beyond to ensure her comfort. Recently, Edgewood held a memorial service for my mom that drew more than 120 attendees, a testament to the care and community she found there. I am grateful beyond words to the Edgewood team for honoring her memory so warmly and for the way they support families during such times.

What stands out most is the way every layer of Edgewood's staff contributes to a genuinely caring environment. The moments that mattered most - the small acts of kindness, the thoughtful planning, and the genuine attention to detail - were a thread that ran through the entire experience. From the management team to the folks who cleaned her apartment, to the nurses, the cooks, and all the other staff, there was a shared commitment to ensuring comfort and dignity for my mom. It's rare to feel that level of dedication so consistently, and it has left a lasting impression on our family.

A recent experience with my mom as she moved in demonstrated the thoughtful and tailored approach Edgewood takes. Kale took the time to carefully assess her complex needs and identified a care setting that felt like a perfect fit. The assessment was unusually tailored; it gave us confidence that they truly understood her. Even though the movers were delayed and she didn't arrive on site until after 8 p.m., nurse Sam returned to work to meet her and help her settle for the night. Later, Jimmy sat down with me around 8 p.m. to learn what would make the transition easier for mom and what information they should know. The commitment to a smooth transition was evident from the start, and it made a difficult moment much easier for our family.

I've been consistently struck by how attentive and welcoming the care environment has felt from day one. The level of attentiveness is almost tangible, and it has made a big difference in how my mom has adjusted. In the early days after her arrival, the care and consideration extended to every interaction, reinforcing the sense that she is in capable, compassionate hands. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to that experience.

The praise continues with specific shout-outs to Jimmy and the staff. They have taken excellent care of my mother-in-law from day one, consistently showing respect and a high standard of care. It's clear that the team respects residents and treats them with genuine kindness. Words can only begin to capture our appreciation for their ongoing dedication and the reassuring routine they've established for her.

Beyond the personalized care, Edgewood's atmosphere - where staff are described as friendly and helpful - has stood out. There's a sense of warmth, with smiles and laughter shared between staff and residents. Residents themselves note that the staff are kind and that the food is generally quite good. The practice of calling residents by their names helps build personal connections, and the environment feels active and engaging, with a broad range of activities available for those who want to participate.

The impressions aren't isolated to one family. I've heard from others who know residents at Edgewood that the food and care are good, the apartments are clean, and there's easy parking right in front. The building is described as well maintained, with a clean, often-new interior that contributes to a positive living environment. It's reassuring to hear multiple voices affirming the same strengths: attentive care, friendly staff, good food, and a facility that supports an active and comfortable lifestyle for its residents.

In closing, the experience with Edgewood Vista has been deeply meaningful during a challenging time for our family. The care and compassion shown by Kale, Sam, Jimmy, and the entire team helped us navigate a difficult transition with dignity and confidence. The memorial service that brought so many people together to honor my mom underscored the lasting impact she found at Edgewood. For families seeking a place that treats residents with respect, fosters a caring community, and maintains a welcoming, well-kept environment, Edgewood Vista stands out as a beacon of thoughtful, person-centered care.
