Discovering the six dimensions of wellness. Writing about your childhood memories during a LifeBio class. Eating brick-oven pizza with friends at the Bistro or hosting a catered dinner party for friends. Taking in a ballet performance down the hall or taking a Tai Chi class in the morning. These activities represent a normal day for many residents of Edgewater, Iowa’s first active life community in West Des Moines.
“The vision to create a community that offers older adults active lifestyle choices with hospitality-driven amenities has become reality here at Edgewater,” said Rob Kretzinger, president and CEO of WesleyLife. “With more than 60 years of experience in the industry, WesleyLife has applied our in-depth understanding of the needs and interests of older adults to create an environment where residents are empowered to live an active retirement lifestyle that suites them.”
Iowa’s first state-of-the-art active-life community is now open in West Des Moines. Beyond the wellness amenities offered to residents and staff, Edgewater welcomes the broader community to take part in health programs offered like the LifeBio and some of the exercise courses. Located in the main building, The Marc Stephens Salon and Spa and the Bistro are open for the public to enjoy as well.
