Pleased with waters edge
I am a family member of one of the residence in the memory care. Overall, I have been very pleased with the care that my family member has received a special shout out to nurse [name removed] and to life coordinator [name removed] for excellent care I especially like the activities that are offered and the nursing care that is provided. I also think the cooking staff are tremendous. I have been able to include myself in several meals with my family member, and they have been excellent. I like the outside patio area that is provided and as a special touch, straight holiday season, the staff decorate the facility to make it very homey and welcoming. Overall, I am very pleased with the care that my loved one is receiving. Communication to me has also been exemplary, and they also help tremendously with setting up medical appointments which is very helpful for me as I am doing my part from out of town.

Top notch
My mom lived at Water's Edge for 18 months, and we celebrated daily our decision to move her from a nursing home to Water's Edge who had staff trained to care for people with dementia, and I mean CARE! We felt that Mom was so loved and well taken care of, so treated with respect and dignity, and regarded as a person of worth. Their individual care for Mom when she was no longer able to take part in group activities was amazing! We as family also felt cared for and able to trust that Mom was getting the best care possible. As Mom's life was drawing to an end, the staff went beyond expectations to be with Mom when Covid restrictions prevented us from visiting. They were so gracious in letting us be with her in her final hours, and when Mom died, the staff also cried. We highly recommend Water's Edge to anyone who desires the best of care for their loved one.

How mom liked living at Water's Edge
Mom enjoyed living there. She also liked the activities that you had. It was good that you had nursing staff there 24/7. Mom also liked going on the outings, she would tell me how nice it was to be away from the building and get to see other things.

I currently live here with my wife who is in another room. The staff has made a lot of changes in the good in the last year. I think it has been run well. It is a very tough job at times and they make it work and thats the truth. I would recommend it to other people to come here. Its not always perfect and no place is but my concerns are not with this facility. They are great.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Water's Edge

Water's Edge offers Studio and Semi-Private. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Water's Edge 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
