The Waters Senior Living

Beautiful well designed facility,staff that I met with was very sincere and personable. Price point was out of my budget.

I think it's going quite well. It's very clean and the staff is really friendly. They are smaller and quite homey. So far nothing pops out that's not right. We are very happy with them.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for a loved one. This was a very nice looking facility, although they were in the middle of some remodeling work when we visited. It looked like they provided good care for their residents, however I did not think my loved one would enjoy the shared suite style accommodations.

The facility has been recently renovated and it is beautiful. The community areas are spacious and bright, the hallways are wide and well lit and the apartments are elderly friendly. Pat the concierge always has a warm smile to greet you when you walk in and provides helpful information. My mom is having a difficult transision and the team there has been very supportive and offers good advice and is trying to engage her to make her feel more at home.

I think it’s easy to integrate into – The adjustment is easy. The staff is just phenomenal – they just go out of their way to help people fit in. It’s brand new so from a cleanliness stand point – it’s really good. So far the food has been great.

so far of all the places, this one is my favorite. The whole theme of 'thrive' and healthy eating is so important in helping people feel good. Loved the bike and other exercise equipment. Layout of the place has a wonderful flow to it, and staff are so involved in every aspect. Loved it.

My mother has only been there a short time. It’s a new building. The only thing that I have not been 100 sat with they haven’t been perfect with the management of the medications. The food has been great. The outside area is nice. Overall I am very pleased in comparison to other places I visited.

1st choice. Proven, Ebenezzer (Lutheran founded) Care Suite - 3 private rooms/bath share common kitchen and living room. Access to full dining menu/in suite dining service option and activities of the general population. On premise appointments with GP, Podiatrist, Eye and Podiatrist. On premise therapies, OC and PT. Priest from my church say Mass and bring communion. I live 1/2 mile away. Care Suite is $290 per day inclusive of all services. Memory care's highest level is less XXXX. Executive Director is former Sunrise (Sunrise at one time had 10 in MN, now 4, while all other systems are expanding.) The representatives from all of the centers have as their #1 priority to place the resident in the best for them. Two other executive directors from 'competing centers' told me The Colony would be the best choice for Mom even if I lived a distance from The Colony.

too expensive

Our experience has been really good. We chose this facility because the location was close to me and also they had availability when we needed it. We had heard from some friends with parents there that recommended it as well. I am hoping they will be able to use the Minnesota waiver when the time comes, they have not approved it yet but are in the process. The staff is very attentive and friendly to all of the residents. I feel comfortable having my parents here. I would recommend The Waters of Oakdale to others looking.

The community is very nice and we like the staff that is always willing to help and makes improvements when needed. The community is clean and the menu is really good with a lot of healthy choices. I like that she is active with the other residents. I would recommend this community for good care and value for other families.

This place feels like home- staff are so caring and I feel very lucky to live here!

Staff memebers are great. Very helpful, friendly and caring. They made my fathers's move-in process very easy, providing me with the paper work and the information to complete it well in advance. The facility is quite new and is very well kept. It is by far the cleanest facility I have assessed for my father's care. My father is in a memory care, studio apartment. He tells me he enjoys the ample space he has, and that the food is consistanly very good. He enjoys the staff he interacts with each day and says "everyone here is very friendly." A real "plus" for me is the option to have my father's doctor visits and lab work completed on site, and to have direct access to his daily care notes, Dr. visits, and lab results via the internet. I would highly recommend people looking for a senior community to consider The Waters of Plymouth.

The Waters was beautiful! This was in our top two. This was geared a little more towards independent living that the one we chose, and this only does two meal a day instead of three. This was just a little more upscale and fancy for my parents to feel comfortable. Really beautiful though.

The facility looks beautiful, brand new and clean. Everyone we talked to was very nice. The rooms seemed to be good size. Activities sounded good. Had chosen to go there but Mom was beyond their capabilities. Views facing south were city/highway, but interesting. Views to the north and east were woodsy. No matter the room you could see both in common areas. Dining area seemed nice, not too big, very cozy. Liked the facility and staff. A little pricy but worth it.

I have been very happy living here

Feel safe in the garage (you see cameras)

My loved one was previously a resident at The Waters of White Bear Lake and the facility itself was terrific. My loved one particularly enjoyed the food. Based on the experience, I would recommend this facility to others.

The staff in memory care is wonderful. I was not as impressed when Dad was in assisted living. It was great he stayed in the same apartment, but among other things there were staffing changes going on at the time we were moving Dad to assisted living and I had to follow up a lot or I felt he would have fallen through the cracks. My dad has lived at The Waters for about a year and we are on our 3rd medical director. I am hopeful the new one will stay. The director of the facility is friendly, but I feel he delegates my questions. This may be appropriate for his role, but I feel "put off" at times.The head chef in the restaurant is new. They serve a lot of chicken dishes. I don't know how much fresh fruit my dad gets so I try to bring that for him. Memory Care doesn't have a microwave or an ice maker, so that is inconvenient and the refrigerator in his room is dorm size, so the freezer is pretty much useless. We chose The Waters because of the location. The admission person, [name removed], is wonderful. The decor is bright and friendly. The ladies at the concierge desk, {names removed], are so welcoming, helpful and friendly.

They were very helpful and responsive as we went through the process of selecting a facility. Willing to make accommodations for our situation. I would recommend Waters of Eden Prairie to other families looking.
