Critical

Smoking is Allowed

Facility says No Smoking......lease policy states smoking is allowed 100 feet from the building. Residents do not respect policy and there's no accountability. Director has repeatedly been told about this and provided pictures. Smokers are near the parking area/car ports and also at the dog park.

A perfect place to live and love.

I would be happy to! The staff is so kind, helpful, and welcoming. The rooms are bright and open; they feel like home while being clean and beautiful. The activities are so creative; my father wants to attend more. And he's enjoyed the food greatly!

Friendly staff, beautiful new location

She has moved into Watermere and is liking it. She got settled in about 3 weeks ago. Their chef quit the Friday before she arrived, so the food has been a challenge. But that seems like it will be fixed soon. Her apartment is beautiful. Activities have been nice.

I hope to spend my life here

I would rate Watermere A+. To me it's exactly what I dreamed it would be. The staff is awesome, food is excellent and there are more than enough activities if you choose to participate. Communication is A+. It is strategically located with plenty of shopping and eating places close. It is super clean and everything is very updated. I am very happy here.

Review for Watermere at Firewheel

Staff and residents are all very friendly. Place is exceptionally clean and smells good. Lots of activities, more than I need personally. I do play cards and attend bible study. Food is good and plentiful. Apartment is very spacious, 1100 square feet. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths. Open living area and kitchen, new appliances. Extra large closet off of master bath. I am very pleased with my decision to move to Watermere.
