Our Family's Experience with The Waters

The staff/nurses that take care of mom are very friendly and talk to her often. they are patient and attentive to her needs She has a studio and it is spacious. the bathroom is large to accommodate lifts. it is always clean when I come to visit The Waters has many events and activities for the residents I would rate the food a 4 after visiting a few times. meals are hit or miss. Some are very good and others are average.

The Waters - a Great facility that cares

the team was very helpful in getting mom a room as we had to move her quite quickly from her previous retirement home. they were responsive and communicated well with us during the process. they have also been very good with communicating with us recently as mom had a couple falls. they have professional artists that come in and sing which is a big plus. the facility is quite nice and the location is two miles from my sisters home.

The Waters of Edina

The staff is friendly, plenty of activities and a good group of older women to be friends with my mom. The girls are coming back to remove their stuff. I also have cleaning supplies in your apartment. Yes, we would recommend The Waters of Edina to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

The Waters of Edina Review

The Waters had more patient oriented staff, but it was twice the price. We had to move. We did not take advantage of all that was avilable to us.

Incredible experience

We walked in at 4:50pm on a Friday and they never blinked an eye when we asked if we could have a tour and talk with someone about the place. They were welcoming then and still are. They remembered my dad's name from day 1. Extremely helpful and caring staff. They could use some more activities on the weekend!

My loved one was previously a resident at The Waters of Edina and the experience at this facility was great. The facility is extremely clean. The move in process was extremely easy. The food is great. The leadership team responds quickly to any questions. Our friends call it a country club. I would recommend The Waters of Edina to others.
