AI Summary of Reviews

Residents and families describe a welcoming community that feels like family from the first day, where lifelong friendships take root and mornings feel like a resort vacation. Reviews highlight a gentle, kind atmosphere, a beautiful setting, and team members who go above and beyond at every turn. Many share deep gratitude for the trust and goodwill the community has earned.

Riverwoods is a hidden gem in the South Des Moines area. From the welcoming receptionist who greets residents and visitors each morning, to the dedicated activities staff who keep everyone engaged throughout the day, to the exceptional caregivers who go above and beyond to ensure every resident feels valued, comfortable, and at home—every detail reflects a true sense of community. It truly has a family feel, where each person makes a difference every single day. I can’t say enough about how warm and welcoming this community is, and I would confidently recommend Riverwoods to any of my loved ones.

What we like the most about the Edencrest at Riverwoods community is the friendliness of the staff and their willingness to make my mom as comfortable as possible in her last days.
Carla
So far so good. Dad seems safe and happy. It's a small, kind community. The rooms are decent, bedroom has a queen bed comfortably and the living room has a couch and chair. Activities tend to be mostly cards and other games, and occasional performances especially around the holidays.
