With empathy and understanding, Nayas communicate through validation rather than correction, helping to instill a sense of joy and purpose.

"My family and I cannot begin to express how appreciative we are to everyone at Watermark. My Father’s transition could not have been easier…The apartments are well laid out and comfortable. The dining room and food are resort quality and the staff serving are attentive, kind and extremely helpful/respectful. The housecleaning staff does an exceptional job of keeping my dad’s apartment and clothing clean and tidy. The nurses and patient care techs make sure that all of my dad’s medical needs are met. Don’t look any further if you have a loved one needing assisted living you won’t regret it."

"The Watermark Memory Care unit has cared for my loved one compassionately the past 6 months. Our family has been very pleased with the level of care and communication. While I am not able to visit in person they have done a good job at allowing FaceTime calls and updates to help keep us connected. The Watermark is clean, modern and the rooms are very nice. They take great care of their residents. If you have a loved one who needs 24/7 check out the Watermark."
