Watercrest Katy offers so many services that it almost approaches Assisted Living. They do not offer Assisted Living or Memory Care but we can be comfortable there for a long time. With all the healthy programs they offer, daily assistance should not be required for a longer period. In other words, their approach will keep you active longer.

A Welcoming Community - Both Staff and Residents

I've been having some health challenges, and so I haven't gotten to experience the community of people here as much as I had hoped to (but still hope to in the future). Yet what I have experienced both of the staff and the community of residents is an exceptionally welcoming group of people. So much so that the experiences I have had so far make for a really strong incentive to work through my health issues as well as I can so that I can get on with becoming a real part of this community myself.

A good place for senior

Food choices can be improved - particularly for the elderly that have special dietary needs. Facilities, security, activities, are great! It is a very active community that offers options for all interests and needs. Transportation services are great, too!

The food is still not great but the Signature program is a good opportunity to create bonds and help with getting involved in activities. Most of the staff is very friendly especially[Name Removed]. They are good about checking in with residents daily.

My visit to Watercress was phenomenal. [Name Removed] helped me immensely the tour was fabulous. The food I tasted was good. I am looking forward to possibly getting into that facility here in the next several months I would rate them from one to 10 as a 10. Thank you so much.
