Feels like family

My dad feels known by all staff, multiple "hello's using his first name when he's in the building. Staff in shows kindness friendliness, compassion. Weekly Thursday social hours are very inclusive, often themed, with staff participation. Appetizers and beverages. sometimes musicians as well. Lots of daily social opportunities, interspersed through the day and into early evening.

Wonderful Community!

New flooring is going to be installed soon. EVERYONE is resident focused plus all staff knows residents names. Our loved one wants good old fashioned plain home cooking food nothing too fancy. They are very responsive to requests and get to know for example how dad dark wants his toast toasted. Our loved one couldn't be happier here. Nothing is perfect but this place is great for him.

My mom loves the Waters

My mom loves the Waters so far, it’s been a perfect fit for her. It’s been a wonderful adjustment from 40 years of living alone. The residents and staff have been wonderful and welcoming. She very much enjoys the regular routine of breakfast and activities with her new friends. She appreciates the on-site amenities, including not just the restaurant and friendly staff, but also the physical therapy, Heated garage, Special events and everything that makes it feel like a very special place.

A wonderful Experience

When dad moved in here he truly moved home. The entire staff are caring, friendly, professional. They got to know our dad very quickly, he is still amazed when he walks down the hall and people call him by name. Our entire family feels at home here. The staff works diligently to provide continuity for residents, to retain staff, to provide lots of social options. No place is perfect, don’t expect that. But the Waters staff is responsive and solves problems when the need arises. Dad is extremely happy to be here and
