StoryPoint Beaverdale

StoryPoint Beaverdale, located in Des Moines, IA offers assisted living & memory care. Visit Provider Website

Four assisted living plans carry names from the streets outside, The Amick, The Beaver Crest, The Ashby and The Hickman, and they run 350 to 710 square feet.

This community, which the operator says was formerly Edencrest at Beaverdale, sits on Beaver Avenue in Des Moines, IA, about five miles from UnityPoint Health Iowa Methodist Medical Center. Assisted living and memory care are the two levels the operator lists, and memory care has a single plan, so the choice on that side is about the community rather than the apartment.

Pricing at StoryPoint Beaverdale

StoryPoint Group, who manages StoryPoint Beaverdale, states no monthly rate for assisted living or memory care on the community's own website, and its plan sheet gives square footage with no rent beside any layout. The local market range for assisted living in the Des Moines area runs $6,512 to $6,914 a month, which is the figure to budget against while you wait for theirs, not a rate this community has quoted. One request through Get Pricing gets you the actual monthly number for the plan and care level you need, so you can see where this community falls inside that range.

Apartment Homes at StoryPoint Beaverdale

The operator names five plans across the two levels:

• The Amick, studio, 350 square feet, assisted living
• The Beaver Crest, one bedroom, 470 square feet, assisted living
• The Ashby, deluxe one bedroom, 525 square feet, assisted living
• The Hickman, two bedroom, 710 square feet, assisted living
• The Blossom, studio, 350 square feet, memory care

That spread matters when you compare quotes, because a 350 square foot studio and a 710 square foot two bedroom will not carry the same rent. Asking for the price of the specific plan you want, rather than a starting figure, gives you a number you can hold two communities to.

Dining at StoryPoint Beaverdale

Meals are chef-prepared and made from scratch daily, served as what the operator calls a restaurant-style dining experience. Beyond the main dining room there is a private dining room, a cafe and a bistro, so a family lunch does not have to happen in the middle of everyone else's dinner service. If somebody in your family eats to a medical diet, a kitchen cooking from scratch is what makes that workable.

Amenities at StoryPoint Beaverdale

The operator lists a theater, a lounge, an activity room, a fitness center, a salon and barbershop, a courtyard, a community garden and a community balcony, with scheduled transportation off site. The garden and the balcony are what decide how much of the day someone spends out of their own apartment, so both are the things to look at on a tour.

Memory Care at StoryPoint Beaverdale

Memory care sits in its own part of the community with one room type, The Blossom studio at 350 square feet, and the operator describes around-the-clock licensed support across living, wellness and dining. Because there is only the one plan, the questions that decide fit for your mother or father are about staffing and daily routine rather than layout, and the operator states no staffing ratio, so that is a number to get from the team directly.

Around StoryPoint Beaverdale

The address is on Beaver Avenue in Beaverdale, a neighborhood inside Des Moines rather than a suburb of it, and the operator puts the community about five miles from UnityPoint Health Iowa Methodist Medical Center. That five-mile figure is the practical one, because it tells you whether a specialist your family already sees stays reachable after a move.
