Leaving a long-time home can feel daunting, especially when it holds decades of memories. But for members in Independent Living at The Watermark at Bellevue, that move often marks the beginning of something better: more freedom, more connection, and a renewed sense of ease.

In this video, members share what motivated them to take that next step, and how life at Bellevue has surprised and delighted them in ways they never expected.

Choosing a New Chapter While You Still Have the Energy To Enjoy It

For some members, the decision to move was proactive and empowering. 

“Here’s the thing, when you’ve lived in a home, you know, for 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, you can’t imagine not having all the space and all, but you also don’t have all the problems.”

Independent Living at Bellevue makes that new life possible, offering access to green spaces, parks, bike paths, and the very best of the surrounding area, all from a centrally located, beautifully designed community.

Friends, Food, and Freedom

One of the most surprising joys? The instant sense of community.

“I had no idea that it would just be like moving in with a group of friends.”

From lively happy hours every Friday to meaningful conversations in the library or over dinner, it doesn’t take long to feel at home and truly welcomed.

“Three weeks — I feel like I have friends.”

For those who prefer to leave the cooking to someone else, the dining experience at Bellevue offers both convenience and creativity.

“I love not having to cook. I’ve cooked for over 60 years, and of course, we have excellent food.”

With dedicated chefs who are eager to please and happy to accommodate requests, mealtime becomes something to savor, whether you’re joining neighbors in the dining room or preparing your favorites at home.

A Place That Feels Good

From the warm welcome at the front door to the inviting shared spaces, every detail of life at Bellevue is designed to support comfort, connection, and ease.

“All the people who work here, you’ve seen this, are just incredibly welcoming and nice.”

The Independent Living lifestyle at The Watermark gives members the freedom to explore, relax, and enjoy the things that matter most, without the burdens of homeownership.
