PositivePerfect choice for Mom!
I would rate the whole list as a 5. I viewed 5 different facilities and WaterMark was easily the standout. It is also the most convenient to my home. The staff is exceptional, the price is very comparable to other facilities, the activities and food are varied and plentiful. I am very pleased with the experience.
★★★★★
PositiveExcellent staff
The staff is very good. The physical plant is new and beautifully designed, well appointed with large windows to let in the light. Food is good with always 2 choices. Staff knows each resident & their needs and accommodates them. I visit my spouse almost daily and find her nicely dressed and her room made up and clean. They have numerous activities from live music to guest lectures and group exercises.
