The Watermark at Oro Valley

The Watermark at Oro Valley delivers a refined retirement experience at its senior living community in Oro Valley, Arizona. The community’s peaceful outdoor courtyard presents a delightful oasis retreat with palm tree views and desert foliage. A grand lobby resembles what one might expect to find in a contemporary hotel with soaring ceilings, fireside seating, and a sophisticated piano.

Dedicated caregivers are available around the clock to provide assistance with activities of daily living, memory care services, and housekeeping. This pet-friendly community offers studio and one- or two-bedroom apartments, as well as wheelchair-accessible showers. Residents can delight in amenities such as restaurant-style dining, transportation services, and an array of engaging on- and off-site activities.

The area offers ample shopping to satisfy all tastes and budgets at Oracle Crossings, Plaza Escondida, and Rooney Ranch Shopping Center. Nearby dining ranges from Mexican, Italian, and Japanese cuisine to New American fare. Popular nearby attractions include Tohono Chul, Tucson Botanical Gardens, and Reid Zoo. Top-notch medical care is less than 10 miles away at Oro Valley Hospital, and Tucson International Airport is about a 30-minute drive from the community.

Review for The Watermark at Oro Valley

Lots of care staff, manager and director turn over in past 7 months. Staff not particularly careful with returning personal items like towels from laundry, maybe because of using agency staff.

Elderly care is ongoing

We had toured many facilities leading up to our current assisted living arrangement and felt that the Watermark at Oro Valley was a great place for mom. My mother has been here for over three years and has seen the highs and lows of growing old and living in a controlled environment i,e; dining, activities, outings where you may or may not be able to go out on your own. This facility has gone through many changes and as usual staff changes. Through all the trials to include COVID, Watermark has always tried to keep residence and family members informed on any changes to ensure that everyone is safe and happy. The dining facility is always clean and the wait staff knows you by name and most times what you like before you ask. The menu gives you many options for whichever meal you are having. Overall the facility is a great place for mom and would recommend it to others. Take a tour and see for yourself

Nice Place, Friendly People

The recent change was rough at first but settling in. They still have a few kinks to work out. They are actively working at those. My loved one enjoys the food. The offer a variety of activities. They do don't try to actively recruit the residents into participating in those activities. That could need addressed. After a rough transitional period in the beginning, she settling in much better now.

Uncaring administration and bad nursing staff.

When Watermark bought the Quail Park of Oro Valley Assisted Living facility, the administration and nurses were fired (or left on their own accord), which should have been a red flag for us. Watermark overdosed my mother-in-law with insulin two days in a row which cause her blood glucose to bottom out. When they realized their mistake, they evicted my in-laws and handed the letter directly to my mother-in-law and ignored my wife's wishes to have her handle the situation. As a result of the stress, my mother-in-law developed congestive heart failure and was hospitalized for a week.. This could have been prevented if Watermark had let my wife handle the situation. My wife has Power of Attorney (POA) for her parents for all financial and medical decisions. We verified that the POA is indeed valid for all financial and medical decisions with our lawyers and state agencies and should not have been ignored. I would give zero stars if possible. Beware and stay clear!
