The Waters Senior Living

I rate 5 all across the board. They were fantastic with my FIL. My FIL qualified for discounted housing. 10 rooms are set aside for some who need help. Not all places do this. Very helpful. The apartments were great! All rooms the same. I believe the one bedrooms were the subsidized units. Very nice and clean with own washer/dryer.

They recently changed ownership, but all the changes have been mostly positive. They still have some staff that stayed, a good sign. We picked this community because of the value for cost, for sure. Homey atmosphere. Size and location of the facility. We just knew it was the perfect choice for my mom.

It's been a very positive experience. We picked this community because of the Staff, facilities, and neighborhood amenities.

After touring and considering a variety of facilities, we found The Waters of Highland Park, in St Paul, MN. From the first impression of the welcoming Concierge staff and impressive environment, we ranked it at the top of the list. The whole place looks new, well-appointed, and super clean, without any nicks, scrapes, or stains. Decor is tasteful and of high quality. Outside areas are perfectly landscaped. Best of all, many happy, well-groomed residents were interacting throughout every community space. Staff were friendly and easily engaged with residents and guests. We immediately felt comfortable. Each apartment is roomy, with full kitchen, washer/dryer, large closets, a spacious, accessible bathroom, and bright, airy windows. Restaurant staff prepares and serves excellent food in a beautiful dining room. After considering the services, amenities and activities available, we knew The Waters was the right place for our loved one. And, she loves it!

All would be a 5. [name removed] is staying very independent. All seems to be going well and we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

New flooring is going to be installed soon. EVERYONE is resident focused plus all staff knows residents names. Our loved one wants good old fashioned plain home cooking food nothing too fancy. They are very responsive to requests and get to know for example how dad dark wants his toast toasted. Our loved one couldn't be happier here. Nothing is perfect but this place is great for him.

My mom moved into a beautiful one bedroom with a den. The staff is amazing. They care about each resident, greet visitors and make everyone feel special. The building and grounds are well maintained. The nursing staff is great, they do a wonderful job of keeping residents healthy and the support staff keeps them active and engaged.

I would recommend the Waters because of the kind responsive staff. Very expensive. You get what you pay for.

Most important is from the director Rachel stave to the aids and food staff are caring humans!!! The experience has been amazing!!! I would highly recommend this location as staff and property are amazing. Even now in memory care it is the best possible place they could be! I am very comfortable giving them the highest marks. The food is amazing and they go to the pub for lunch and what looks like a restaurant for dinner. The menus and specials are awesome! There are activities for both the independent living and the memory care residents.

Mom has had a wonderful experience living at The Waters of Oak Creek. We are very pleased with the center. Even though we love The Waters of Oak Creek. In a year the rent went up [fee removed] for my mom. We are now paying [fee removed]a month . Her pension and Social Security has not increased in any way to help with this rent increase. This is an in going issue for the elderly that have to move into assisted living centers. Every staff worker at The Waters of Oak Creek, has made not only my mother but our entire family feel like we're important. We feel confident that she will be well looked after. The apartment has all the amenities to help make my mom feel like she never left her own home.

We walked in at 4:50pm on a Friday and they never blinked an eye when we asked if we could have a tour and talk with someone about the place. They were welcoming then and still are. They remembered my dad's name from day 1. Extremely helpful and caring staff. They could use some more activities on the weekend!

My mom loves the Waters so far, it’s been a perfect fit for her. It’s been a wonderful adjustment from 40 years of living alone. The residents and staff have been wonderful and welcoming. She very much enjoys the regular routine of breakfast and activities with her new friends. She appreciates the on-site amenities, including not just the restaurant and friendly staff, but also the physical therapy, Heated garage, Special events and everything that makes it feel like a very special place.

I looked at quite a few places before settling on The Waters. The staff are delightful, the apartments are quite lovely - light and bright, I’ve eaten there a few times and been impressed. My mom - Who is good at finding things to criticize - loves living there. Sometimes I wish I could partake in all the fun activities they have planned!

My loved one was previously a resident at The Waters of Edina and the experience at this facility was great. The facility is extremely clean. The move in process was extremely easy. The food is great. The leadership team responds quickly to any questions. Our friends call it a country club. I would recommend The Waters of Edina to others.

The entire team is lovely. Everyone we came in contact with was a super helpful person very kind. And seemed to enjoy what they did. If you have a loved one or if you personally need more attention than independent living, but not necessarily full-blown assisted-living, this is the place for you. My mother really didn't need full-blown assisted-living. However, what she needed was a few months of attention to get her back on track. And once she got that. She outgrew the program. Meaning once she no longer needed assistance. She didn't really care to live there.

I have lived here now for about 3 years and have enjoyed the socialization and friendships I have made. I love my apartment and the beauty of our building. I like having a beauty salon on the premise.

I had toured at least eight memory care homes and as soon as I toured "The Waters of White Bear Lake" I knew that I found the place I was looking for to care for my mother. I was feeling so guilty and anxious about transitioning my mom from her home of 60 years to a care community but the process went amazingly well! Staff at The Waters of White Bear Lake were so helpful, professional and patient. We had a few adjustments at first but through communication and consistency my mom is very happy. She will even tell you so! She loves the food, the staff, her room and benefits from participating in various programs and activities. I feel very comfortable with the choice we made. I would highly recommend this place if you want quality care for your loved one.

When dad moved in here he truly moved home. The entire staff are caring, friendly, professional. They got to know our dad very quickly, he is still amazed when he walks down the hall and people call him by name. Our entire family feels at home here. The staff works diligently to provide continuity for residents, to retain staff, to provide lots of social options. No place is perfect, don’t expect that. But the Waters staff is responsive and solves problems when the need arises. Dad is extremely happy to be here and his physical and emotional health has improved since he moved in just three months ago.

The Waters is a lovely place that my mom recently moved into. We looked at multiple locations in the Twin Cities but The Waters met her needs the best. She likes independence but still some assistance. The meal staff and dining room staff is incredible with great home cooking and excellent service, the facility is beautiful quiet and allows her to spend her days as she wishes. The care staff is very communicative and willing to help. There is also a concierge on duty every day to help with residents needs. The apartments are spacious with in-home laundry and options for additional services. We are very confident with the decision on mom moving to The Waters.

The facility is next to a nice grocery store, which is convenient for walkers; the staff is super friendly and helpful! They are very helpful with move-ins. The food is really good and the servers are patient and engaging. I would absolutely recommend The Waters to anyone looking for a senior living facility.
