The Watermark at Southpark Meadows

This is a beautiful community! They have a lot of fun activities going on. I have seen the residents outside listening to live music and dancing, that’s what I hope my retirement is like! Also, Rhonda is a pleasure to work with 🙂.

Both my professional/academic background and my personal involvement here at Watermark coincide in dependably balanced integration of both OBjective & SUBjective perspectives in this review. I'm a Behavioral Scientist - an Organizational Sociologist (MA, ABD) - and also a Resident who came here as Caregiver to my wife (in hospice), when I then suffered my own setback in a surgical accident causing a STROKE. It was totally disabling but short-term with nearly full recovery across several weeks; setting the stage for me to witness the Watermark staff accomplish something that led me to describe this place to everybody who would listen as the location of "the greatest number of caring people per square inch that I had ever seen." The corporate culture here, top down & ground up (medical, admin, housekeeping, dining) came together in support of my wife, enabling HER (in her own disabling ailments) to step up as Authentic Caregiver to her husband in his need -- bringing him to the point where his arms could once again support her. She lived the last few months of her own life helping him recover his -- all a testament not only to her character & dignity, but to the caring well-trained individuals in the unifying and superbly managed empathetic vision-directed culture around her.

Walk iinto Watermark’s entrance any Thursday or Saturday afternoon, and you’ll likely hear shouts and laughter coming from the hallway, Many of the residents will have gathered for a volleyball game, with some of us playing, some cheering and some watching. Our version is played with a blown-up balloon,. Residents who participate are required to stay seated. I have not been a person interested in such things, but there is joy in doing what we can to help our teams. Watermark is designed to help us achieve our best versions of ourselves, One of our residents runs competitively and wins in his age group, but we can all be winners here.
