What People Are Saying
"I write this as a five-plus year resident of [The Watermark at East Hill] early in the pandemic of 2020. That our decision to move into WEH was the correct one has been apparent for some time. But the performance of our staff and the national Watermark organization has been outstanding in these difficult times. Results still count!"
"The Watermark at East Hill was lovely. My mother stayed there, and it was very nice, so I really got to see it. I didn't think we would ever find any place as nice as that. She was in independent living. Everything was very clean, they had good activities, they kept her mind active, and she enjoyed it there. Food was included, and that was part of the deal even though it was an independent living setup. They had an exceptional chef. I used to go and have dinner with her. The facility was designed more for activities. They had billiard rooms, little golf-putting ranges, a beautiful home theater, and a lot of outside groups coming in to do dance and piano shows, and things like that. It's immaculate and they're constantly improving. You never see a dirty spot on the carpet. It's just really clean. It was definitely higher priced, and there was also an equity buy in required. She was there for two years."
"This community offers a nice variety of activities, they have a trivia night. They take the residents out on outings to different restaurant. They keep them pretty active and engage with each other. My father loves the food, its very well prepared, perfectly seasoned. They offer a great variety, great overall quality. We liked the common area it is very nice. The community is beautifully landscaped. The apartment is very spacious, and the staff is very friendly and helpful."
