Review for Watermere at Firewheel
independent living facility, no care provided. It's not ideal for diabetics, continental breakfast all carbs, little protein provided. Food allowance included in rent and a lunch menu is provided. More meals avail once the place fills up. Some classes provided but its limited now. Gym provided is a 5. Right now there may be deals so they can get the apts leased. It's expensive living here, so if a resident is on a tight fixed income, this may not be what they need. We have had a few glitches, but all in all worked around it.

Happy I chose Watermere Firewheel
5 for all. I couldn't be happier downsizing from a house to an apartment. Love my apartment, amenities, and all the people that work here are kind, considerate, and very helpful. Lots of fun activities too. Overall everyone seems to take pride in the facility and wants you to be happy here. If you have questions, concerns, or problems they get you answers right away. If they see you in the building they know your name and greet you. [name removed], the director is at all events and checks to see if we are happy. [name removed] has fun activities and outings planned. She reviews the upcoming calendar with the complex, answers questions and takes suggestions. They have a phone system to update all residents of events, activities, special announcements, and any building repairs going on. I guess I would say that I feel cared about and valued as a person and a resident.

You will love it here!
I'd have to give each category a 5. 1. Overall, it's conveniently located, beautifully furnished, and has great support, amenities, and activities. 2. It's well taken care of, inside and out. The housekeeping and maintenance staff are top-notch. 3. Everyone here from the administrative staff to support staff as well as the residents are incredibly friendly. Everyone is supportive and always willing to help with anything. It is a very welcoming and inclusive environment in which to live. 4. Quality of care is probably not applicable as this facility is for 55+ active living and doesn't provide assisted living. However, there is much attention given to meeting the needs of residents, safety issues, and maintenance of the entire facility. 5. The administrative staff are approachable and know the residents by name. They are easy to talk with and follow up as promised. 6. Food is now prepared and served in the facility kitchen and dining room while it was catered when I first moved in. The menu is still somewhat limited due to the smaller number of residents, but as more residents move in, we see more options. The chef definitely listens to what the residents would like to eat and prepares those items as is feasible. The quality and taste of the food are great. 7. The activities are a high point at Watermere at Firewheel. There are regular weekly and monthly activities as well as special events. At these special events, the food or snacks are exceptional, and there's almost always live music. Many prospective residents attend these special events, which gives current and future residents the opportunity to know each other before new people move in. This helps to create a very strong sense of community that exits here. 8. The value for the money required to live here is wonderful. When I figured the expenses I was paying for my own home, it was definitely financially beneficial to move here.

Little Slice of Heaven
1. 4.when I arrived I had ants it took several attempts before they were gone(2.) The dining room, library, offices are very clean. The halls not 100%, sometimes. 4.5 nothing serious!3. 5.+ 4.5. The dining room has a new attendant and she is rough on the edges. She stopped me from lunch and I was two minutes late. She is learning just rough around the edges. 5. Excellent + 5+. 6. I do not have any complaints about our chef, he is a 5, what I hate is that they have those sugary sweeteners. I don't like that even the plain is loaded with sugar, they need to offer a plain creamer alternative, their maple syrup is horrible, no butter only margarine. Yuck one molecule from plastic. Now I do not complain I just do not us their butter, syrup, or creamers I bought my own. 7. The staff have been trying to do the job they have amazed me, so I give them a 4.5(We just got a new activity director and she seems exceptional ) 8. No butter, sugary syrups only for coffee, syrup issues This affects my score. The quality of the rooms: cabinets, construction extra large closets, and wide hallways. Get a plus. Quiet ambiance, no noisy displays. Staff caring you can't teach empathy, they have it. 5. I should have include how clean our bathrooms are kept. Those halls are filled with incoming viewing our facility.

Raising the Bar for Senior Living
Living here at Watermere is the best decision I could ever make for my health condition and stage in life! I reserved my apartment in faith, as I was selling my home. They waited 4 months for me to finally move in! I found that incredible! And since I’m considered a founder, I have been reaping the benefits ever since I moved in! From discounts off my rent; free continental breakfasts M-F; hot meals in a dining hall (that looks like you’re in a cruise ship); an upcoming red light therapy spa; a hair and nail salon; and so many more amenities! The Watermere staff makes every effort to make our dining experience a fun and memorable one—just last night we were all invited to celebrate our new dining hall with free dinner From Babe’s Chicken Dinner House and a Murder Mystery Dinner show! I know there’s more wonderful things to come and I’m looking forward to making more memories with my new friends who are quickly becoming family!

I am a new resident and I live in The Watermere. The entire staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. They made me feel right at home the day I moved in. This is a brand new location. Everything is new. It’s nice to have a washer and dryer in the apartment. There is always something being planned for the residents to do and you are not made to feel like you have to do everything. I feel very comfortable here and enjoy the association with everyone, both staff and residents.
