Beaverdale Estates is an independent senior living community located in Des Moines, Iowa, managed by Holiday by Atria. This facility is designed for older adults who are able to live independently and are seeking a supportive residential environment. Residents at Beaverdale Estates occupy private apartments and have access to services including daily meals, housekeeping, maintenance, and a wide range of scheduled social activities.

In terms of care, Beaverdale Estates primarily serves independent-living residents. While medical support on-site is limited to what is typically available in senior-living communities (such as wellness checks or partnering with outside home health services where needed), the facility does not offer emergency medical or wraparound care outside of regular hours. Additional personal care or health services need to be coordinated externally by residents or families. However, staff are available to attend to residents' needs during scheduled hours and provide supportive services, such as checking on residents and facilitating communication with caregivers or medical professionals as appropriate.
The community offers a barber and beauty salon, providing residents with access to haircuts, styling, and related grooming services on-site. This amenity is designed to support residents' personal care routines and helps maintain their well-being without needing to leave the property.
Transportation services at Beaverdale Estates are provided on a complimentary basis for residents. These services can be used for both medical and non-medical purposes, such as getting to doctor appointments, running errands, or attending community outings. By offering these transportation options, the facility supports residents’ ability to maintain independence and participate in outside activities.
