What Others Are Saying

"For us to be able to have the same neighborhood, the same friends, yet to be in a multi-service building where there's a beautiful lobby and there are restaurants - that's what we need."

"The team at The Watermark... listened to our needs and professionally explained how they would be met and exceeded by their facilities and services. This looks to be a luxurious living environment including the rooms, the dining options, salon, spa, activities, patios, etc. The reasonable monthly fees and lack of "buy in" make this a good value."

"After looking at Watermark and three other retirement communities, we quickly decided on Watermark as the best fit for us. During our seven weeks at Watermark, we have found the staff to be delightful, knowledgeable, and helpful at every turn, no exceptions, a pretty remarkable outcome considering our many interactions with the staff as we acclimated to our new surroundings. We also have found all the residents we have met to be friendly and welcoming. The net result so far is that we couldn't be happier with our decision to become Watermark residents."

"My mother is thriving ! The staff is incredible. The energy is positive. And I can’t say enough about the support through the transition, professionalism and kindness. My mother seems 10 years younger and full of life !!"

"We have had a fantastic experience so far. Very friendly, helpful and communicative in the leasing office. We are excited to have my dad move in!"
