Watermark Retirement Communities

It was a positive experience. For activities they have a little bit of everything; games, music, a ton of stuff, just everything. I was impressed that out of 100 residents they recognized me and my dad right away and knew exactly where he was. I chose this community for two reasons, they have two levels of memory care which he will need in the future, and the speech therapist he needed was there full time.

They're a pretty good outfit. I've never seen it dirty. It's expensive but they offer so much built in to that rate. They take them to doctors, they have some kind of excursion everyday, all kinds of activities, and the meals are included too. According to my mother the food is just okay. I've eaten there a few times and I would say it's just okay too. The care is fantastic. I really like the way the place is set up. On each floor will have something like a movie theater and a library. There is a dining on my mom's floor so she doesn't always have to go down to the main dining room.

I was very impressed by this facility and the staff. The facility was clean and 'homey'. I was particularly impressed by the size of the room and the decor in the memory care unit. Additionally, I was invited back to visit, participate in crafts, etc. and/or to have my parent utilize the respite care component! I loved this location and it remains high on the list of possibilities.

Toured it today. Have scheduled a tour with Mom for Nov. Really liked the facility and it's the closest. About 100 independent living and 40 assisted living. Currently have one 1BR suite available and that's it, hence the interest in moving up the lunch. Have nursing/aide staff onsite during the day, security is EMT-trained. Saw lots of staff. Residents very sociable. Smaller rooms but still nice and the grounds are very nice.

They're very clean and the value is hard to dispute becasue dad definitely needs to be there. He doesn't engage in a lot of the activities but they do have a lot. They're going really good. The only problem and that's not with The Fountains, it's that Arizona state law, they can't have side rails on the beds. My dad keeps falling out of bed and the Arizona state law is against restraints. If anybody can change the law they ought to because he's falling out of his bed and his wheelchair. It's not their fault - they can't watch him every second.

Beautiful, tranquil setting---gardens, calm colors throughout, smiling faces everywhere. Many relaxing spaces for one or a group. Very impressive.

We chose The Fountains because it offers the best value for what you get. The community is beautiful it is surround by different types of farms which really adds to the country relaxing feel. The grounds are very well maintained. The staff is extremely friendly I would give them 10 out of 5, seems like they know what is about to happen before it does, they are just so efficient. Does not matter what the issue is as soon as you as for assistance someone is there. I think A Place for Mom really nailed it on the head when recommending The Fountains to us.

A Place For Mom recommended Rose Tree Place about a year and a half ago. When mom was ready to move we contacted Mike Rasmussen at Rose Tree Place, after looking at four other facilities. When you pull into Rose Tree it's a great, nice facility. It is well taken care of, everyone is friendly, there is a friendly receptionist, I had a great first impression. I saw the residents there looked happy. Also, the apartments are very nice and very spacious, bigger than others we had toured, we liked that about Rose Tree as well.

This place was like living in a 5 star hotel. The staff was especially attentive and had all been there for years. It was a little pricier for less benefits but comfort of living was excellent. Very peaceful and all the people living there looked very happy.

Scheduled yearly rent increases of 4-6% would put this out of my comfort zone. Otherwise, I was very impressed with everything I learned--sounds like a lovely place to live!

The director made me feel like I was giving mom over to a safe place and I really enjoyed listening to her speak. She seems to really love what she does and why she does it.

Liked staff, liked the facility, and she likes Independence. A definite possibiity.

This is an independent living facility. Great place though.

Nice facility, with alot to offer with activities, lunch, continential breakfast, dinner, transportation. Everyone is really friendly. Opportunities to volunteer-example the library; Can reserve dining rooms for events.

Our favorite! People were friendly.

Very good for price. Lots of activities on first floor. Deaf friendly, but not ASL certified. Breakfast and one meal provided, but for more can have 3 meals/day. spacious rooms for money. Dishwasher in unit. Very nice dining.

wonderful place, especially for the price.

Great - love it. Number one pick at this point in time.

I was very impressed with this place, especially with the fact they specialize in memory care. I like the fact that they are willing to have her come in for a few hours just to see if she gets adjusted and it would be complimentary. Also the fact they do day care and weekends and for respite care they can accommodate them anywhere from one week to a month. I wasn't able to watch any activities because they were having lunch at the time.

I took her on tour and lunch today. What a great place. You check list was great and they passed.
