Wonderful facility. Clean, kind staff and overall a great place for our community. Clients are are so well cared for and seem happy to be living there. Staff in the assisted living and memory care units go above and beyond their job duties.

Our mother is in memory care here. The staff is dedicated and sincere in their care for my mother. I couldn't be more grateful for them at this time in our lives. Genuine care and genuine smiles. No drama. The atmosphere is warm, cozy and welcoming. It really is like family.

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.

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.

Waters Edge is a wonderful community for your loved one! It is a beautiful facility with large open dining and common areas, with very nice bedrooms for the residents. All the staff are very friendly and caring, with an emphasis in getting to know each resident and their family personally. I would definitely recommend this community for your loved one!

Prior to covid we were told they would have a wide variety of activities for the residents to participate in, but because of covid our loved one has not been able to experience any of those yet.

This place is not perfect but the staff takes very well care of me. They help me with meals, allow me to visit my husband, and they care for any needs that I may need. It is a very pretty place here to live at.

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.

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.
