My dad chose to move to The Waters about a year and a half ago. His experience here has been really good. All of the staff members here are engaged and genuinely care about the residents. The building is bright and cheerful. Dad likes the food and especially likes that residents often wave each other over to their tables to eat together. New people seem to be welcomed readily by both staff and residents. We are in the process of transitioning Dad over to their memory care side. The staff has been incredibly compassionate, informative and helpful as we navigate this. We are so grateful that he chose this place to live.
