Key Review Excerpts

My mother-in-law was a resident of Watermark since 2019, and just recently passed away. When she first moved there, she lived in the assisted living area and felt like she was at the Ritz-Carlton.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

The Director of Nursing- Sachene called and canceled my doctor's appointments without my knowledge. SHanEcE REFUSED TO GIVE ME MY MEDICATION WHEN I LEFT THE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY.

Former resident · 2026☆☆☆☆

After speaking with over 50 facilities and most giving up on me because of our complicated situation, I had a very clear answer to where my father belonged.
