Excellent caring facility

The facility - Waterside Landing - provides an excellent environment for elder care special needs residents. Our sister requires the comprehensive oversight as she has memory disabilities. Even so, she has stated how nice and caring the Medical Technicians are, how pleasant the other residents are and she really likes the meals. We appreciate the welcoming attitude of the staff and feel as if she has a new home. And, she has stated that she likes it a lot.

Waterside landing

The staff treats my mom very nice. She is happy at waterside landing. The place is clean and she likes most of the food. It took her a while to get used to it but she likes it now. I really don’t know what else to say.

Great for the price

Well, like every place they are always short staffed! [name removed], my friend had to hire 2 private people to attend to her. A person looking for: high end, high class Would not like this place at all. They need to hire a new dietician I think.

Great Place for Independent Living. I would not recommend the memory care unit

The activities were very nice. Overall it was good. Unfortunately my mom degenerated & needed to go into memory care. I was not happy with that.

I visited this facility

We toured Waterside Landing. It's a very nice experience. My mother just happened to like the first one better. The rooms were nice. The dining room was beautiful. The facility was gorgeous. The problem was it was farther away from my home. The facility was very nice. The staff was very nice. They had a garden and a patio kind of place.

Waterside Landing review

Great experience with the initial move-in and quality of care for my brother as we recognized he needed to be in memory care versus independent living with the help of Waterside Landing‘s nurse. We had a great moving experience. What we were particularly grateful for the Waterside nurse immediately picked up that my brother needed additional care, and we were quickly able to transition from assistant living to memory care. We are very grateful for them quickly recognizing what could've been an awful transition.
