Key Review Excerpts

The staff at Water's Edge has been wonderful caregivers and engage with my person often. I've made surprise visits and not once has the facility been dirty, smelly or full of apathy.

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

Then Waters Edge stepped in, and I can say with complete confidence, they were a God send. My son was not easy in the beginning. He was angry, confused, verbally and physically aggressive, and acting out in ways that made us wonder if this transition would even work.

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

My mother went here for a respite stay( a temporary stay). Dara was amazing! Helped with transportation and even loaned us a wheelchair while there! My mother has talked non stop about her aide Ashley and what good care she provided.
