Water's Edge

The staff is very nice. They take good care of my mother in law. They always have a smile and hello how are you doing? Every time I come to visit. They have a lot of different activities during the week.

My mom and my mother in-law have lived here for 3 years. They both felt very at home here. Unfortunately my mother in law passed this year at 102. Everyone here really helped with the loss of my mothers best friend

Great place for my grandma, friendly staff and nice living spaces, fun supper nights for family to connect, location is nice and has a great view from the rooms, [name removed] is an excellent activities director

Water's Edge is an absolutely fantastic place! Staff are friendly people who truly care about the work they do. They are local professionals who are invested in high quality care and best needs of the residents. The executive director, thoroughly explains/clarifies things you need to know about living in an assisted living and the steps it takes along the way. It is evident when you walk in the door that effort is put into making Water's Edge a safe, welcoming place to live and to visit

the Staaf is so friendly and helpful here. you can really tell they care about you and are here for you. my room has an amazing view of the pond that we have behind the facility. there is alot of wildlife to see out there. my daughter did a really good job picking this as a place for me.

Amazing view of pond outside! Lots of Wild life to see. Staff are very social and get to know cares fast. Resident are welcoming and car to get to know you. Lots to do and keep busy. Lots of bird feedings

I am considering moving both of my parents from North Dakota to Mankato to be near me so I can visit them daily. Mom is in Memory Care and Dad assisted living. The individual apartments and community living areas are so cozy and homey exactly what I want for my parents.

We were happy and overall satisfied with our choice for our mom to live at Water's Edge. The staff truly cared about our mother. When she was able to be active, there were enough activities to participate. The once a month dinners are a fun way for family to join in as a group, but I was always welcome to play bingo or join in singing. Sometimes communication between staff leaving and next staff member coming on board wasn't the smoothest process, at least from what we experienced/witnessed as our mother was in final weeks. But overall, the caring and compassion helped my mother enjoy her last year at Water's Edge. She loved her window overlooking the pond. Very beautiful setting.

I love the accommodations, the staff and my new friends. I like my private room and bathroom/walk in shower with my heated flooring. I have the ability to see out to nature. There is a nice pond behind the building where we see the geese daily. The location is convenient for my personal needs. I like the activities planned, specially the music and bible study. I like the ease of getting my clothes washed. The new housekeeper is great!

I think all the staff that work here are amazing. They take good care of all of us. The food is pretty good and bingo is fun for all of us. The nurses really care about everything and make everyone feel safe and at home.

Everyone there was so kind and helpful, the director went above and beyond while giving us a tour and it felt like she genuinely cared about the people there, there were some younger staffers I spoke too as well and they were all very respectful and kind! Great place, clean, fun and welcoming!

Water’s Edge is a fun family like atmosphere. The staff is very attentive to your needs and routines. I really enjoy mealtimes, visiting with the other residents. The dietary department has been helpful with my restrictive diet. I am satisfied with the food. There is a great selection of activities that include all residents.

I like living here, and there is plenty to do. I enjoy the garden and taking care of the flowers and vegetables. Residents are involved in these activities, which is good. I would like to have more opportunities for dance, however.

It’s a great place to live! I believe my friends would love it here too. I enjoy visiting with both staff and residents. Staff are great at meeting my needs as well as giving me privacy and respect. I have a great view from my window. It is nice to watch the geese on the pond.

Very welcoming environment. Friendly staff and very helpful answering questions. Activity director is great, plans fun activities and games for the residents. Very clean and nice upgrades.The different levels of care are very helpful for all the needs of the residents.

We moved my mom into Water’s Edge two months ago. Mom has dementia which at this time consists of no short term memory and the beginning of cognitive reasoning difficulties. Water’s Edge was able to place her in her own room not in memory care but just Level II assistance which has been wonderful for her. She loves her room, enjoys her floor mates and feels safe and happy. The staff is so nice and I love that they always call her by name when they come into her room. The only problem I have had is in understanding all the processes involved in assisted living. It is sometimes hard to get someone on the phone but when I do they are very helpful. This should not be a problem as time goes on and we get more familiar with everything. I would definitely recommend Water’s Edge to others.

I highly recommend waters edge! Great community with a vote feel. Residents and staff have always been friendly when I have been in the building. Staff are always jumping in to help each other out and I can tell they have a great team established.

Staff here are so kind and compassionate to all the residents. They are always willing to go above and beyond for the residents they serve. The residents here seem genuinely happy to be there. I would choose Waters Edge every day of the week!

I worked in nursing homes and with geriatrics for over 30 years and this is the nicest and most homey place I have experienced. I was AMAZED at how cheerful and FUN they had it decorated for Christmas! Activities are a huge part of living in a community like this and Water's Edge has a Top Notch activity crew! I can't speak highly enough!!

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.
