What Others Are Saying
"We recently moved my in-laws to Watermark Bellevue. We toured so many places looking for a great spot for them. We needed a place with memory care and assisted living. Everything about Watermark has been better than we could have hoped or expected. The staff cares deeply about their residents and have gone above and beyond to help ease our burdens caring for them. We can’t believe how good the food is every time we eat there. It’s incredible food with a menu filled with great options. The rooms are spacious compared to other places we toured with lots of storage throughout the apartment. The value compared to other options we researched was excellent and they can adapt their care levels as needed. The transportation is great and the central location makes it easier to access just about anything. We are so grateful to the staff at Watermark Bellevue for helping us find such a great, affordable option with high quality care and accommodations."
"If you are looking for a place to take care of your loved one, Watermark is the right place. Our mother moved there last year, and she loves it, we all love it!! Our mother is always enjoying an activity or celebrating something when we come to visit her. The staff is really amazing. My family feel really lucky to had found Watermark, they really are giving peace of mind to all of us, because our mom is our treasure. Thank you so much Watermark for everything that you do for our mom."
"We've been living in the Watermark independent living complex for three months and absolutely love it here. Very friendly residents and staff, incredible facility, outstanding meals at multiple in-house restaurants, location that has allowed us to get rid of one car. Across the street from East Main light rail station, walking distance to stores, medical facilities, parks--or driver will take you in Watermark SUV to locations within 5 miles. Very welcoming to our dog, who also loves it here.
In just the past few days, we've been to Zumba and strength and balance classes, book club, did karaoke in the 20th floor lounge with sweeping views of Mt. Rainier, listened to live guitar in the bistro at "wine down Wednesday", attended the outstanding "Feeling Our Age" art gala, complete with live music and over-the-top buffet...impossible to do all the activities that are offered here each day.
Huge dining room that can be reserved for large family gatherings--worked great for a recent birthday. Stumbled on this place when looking at the memory care facility next door for elderly mother. Now we're close by her for frequent visits, haven't missed our home of 37 years and give the Watermark our highest recommendation!"
"Watermark, thank you, thank you for the kindness, care, wisdom, patience, and most important the love that you’ve been guiding my family through this process of transitioning my mother from independent care to memory care. We are so thankful to you for the level of detail and attention that you provide to all the residents. We were so scared to transition my Mom, but the Watermark has been incredible guiding us lovingly through this process.
The food is incredible, as well. They have the best chefs that we could ask for. They are also the most kind chefs ever. I truly believe that one of the criteria for being hired at Watermark is that you have to have a heart of gold. Each one of the people my Mom has encountered has been amazing - Patti, Alicia, Mike, Hugo…each and everyone of the faces my Mom sees there has a kind attitude and we can’t thank them enough for doing what they do. It’s been a blessing to incorporate our family into their family. Thank you Watermark! You are forever in our hearts 💕"
"We recently toured the Watermark’s independent living community with my in-laws. I’m not someone who typically does Google reviews but was compelled to do so because we had such a great experience. First of all, the building, which just opened in 2024, is beautiful. It feels like a luxury hotel. The residences are light and airy with plenty of windows and different floor plan options. The interior design throughout the building is tastefully decorated. Our salesperson, Karen, was lovely - patient, helpful and not at all pushy. She has been very responsive in answering our follow-up questions after our visit. We enjoyed a meal there and the food was delicious and restaurant-quality (I like that they change up their menu every month). The chef came over during lunch and chatted with us about the focus on locally sourced ingredients and making things in-house. Overall, it was a great experience!"
"The most amazing Assisted Living facility I have ever seen. As a physician I have seen many; and had to place my mother and uncle in different ones.
Besides gorgeous and luxurious facilities, it’s the quality and expertise of the CARE TEAM that sets it apart. Liz Sikes, the Resident Care Director maintains the highest standards in who is hired and how their performance is monitored. The response time to using the pendent for care assistance is always prompt.
It’s obvious she hires staff who are devoted to helping and caring for seniors. They do this work because they want to help others, and not just for a paycheck. As I resident, I feel it deeply every day."
