"We placed my mom (89) in this lovely Assisted Living facility in June 2024. We I chose Watermark because of the friendliness of the staff, residents, and the volume of activities offered. The overall feel is modern and efficient. The apartments are very nice and large enough to feel like a true apartment. Mom feels very independent while also safe and attended. Brooke K. was invaluable in helping me place mom in this facility. Just about everything promised has been delivered. No place is perfect and all senior care facilities have staffing issues. That is just the nature of the beast, so to speak. Kelly and Amanda keep the residents occupied and Karen at the front desk knows all and sees all. Nurse Lisa keeps everyone healthy and Seth makes sure things run smoothly. They and the office staff are the backbone of the facility." - Donna…
