Key Review Excerpts

My family member resided in the assisted living then was moved to the skilled nursing facility that is connected when she needed more care as her dementia progressed. She enjoyed living there. The staff were good with managing her care.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

Dad was admitted into your facility into hospice care and mom got an apartment at assisted living. The care my dad received was so fantastic above and beyond our hopes. Mom was able to be with him and shown so much love and compassion.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

We are so lucky to have a place in our community where we know the staff truly cares about everyone who comes through their door. It makes a difficult situation so much easier when you know you are in good hands :)

The Waterview Shores has significant issues with families filing seven complaint-triggered deficiencies, including concerns about abuse reporting and resident rights violations. The facility shows recurring problems in care planning, medication management, and safety/fire protection across multiple surveys.
