Our families experience
Sometimes we had issues receiving paid for services even after bringing them times their attention (e.g.: assisted showers). Many times when I visited, the bathroom was unkempt. There was one bad apple kept me from a higher score. My loved one chose not to participate in the activities. I would maybe, but I feel the entire industry has some work to do. They seem to be always understaffed. Or the staff is under trained.

Many staff have left, costs of being a resident there are outrageous. Rent goes up by obnoxious amounts yearly. However staff are nice and caring.

Our group entertains the residents periodically. We have observed how kind and considerate the staff is to the residents. In addition, they go the extra mile for entertainers to assure we have help with any requests, so we, in turn, can provide an experience that is fun and interactive for the residents. Thank you Watermark at Vistawilla!

Sooo everything is NOT included. They nickel and dime you to death at the signing. Extra services are expensive and most of what they say will happen for your loved one— doesn’t. The nurse lies and covers up for her aides. My father lay on the floor for six hours after falling from bed with 5 broken ribs before he was discovered. Then they said he was checked on throughout the night. Lies! There are lots of other places to choose from. Go find somewhere else!

It was 100% a 5 in all categories. As an example, a menu is given to the residents for all meals. The food is very good. As the staff gets to know each resident's likes and dislikes, they automatically will ask if they want certain things. They have meetings to see if the residents would like something in the menu they haven't been getting, and then actually serve it. My brother-in-law had some mental disabilities and they were great with him. Truly the first time in his life, he'd ever had friends. Unfortunately he was there only 6 months. He passed away 6 months to the day that he moved in. I have nothing but good to say about the place. He was so happy there.

For weeks the Finance Dept. has refused to return my calls. I just want to know about the "extra" charges they applied beyond the base cost. After one month, I still haven't heard back from them. As the one footing the $[removed]/year rate, I would think they would be more responsive. With several good facilities in the Orlando area, I am beginning to regret choosing Watermark at Vistawilla. Be sure to take this into account when you choose facilities.

First thing I noticed on the day I toured, was all staff seemed to know the names of every resident they came in contact with. They work to have an idea of the resident's personality and meet them where they are. My brother-in-law has organic brain syndrome and can be a bit much at times. They are so wonderful with him. They really take the time to get to know who he is and treat him with compassion, and dignity. This is truly the first time in his life he has felt part of anything, especially a community of people. They have monthly family dinner nights with live music. They do an amazing job with that. The food is very good. My brother-in-law gained 10 lbs in 3 weeks. Mostly because it's the first time in his life everything he eats isn't controlled by someone else. The facility is very clean. I know what I'm talking about because before looking for a place for my brother-in-law or even knowing I'd even need to, I was a nurse and have been in most ALF's and nursing homes in Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties. They are excellent at keeping you informed. An example is, today I received an email stating they have 3 residents with confirmed Covid. The residents are quarantined in their rooms, and the facility has canceled family night this week. They also have PT on site, so if a resident needs PT, they don't need to go anywhere. I truly have nothing negative to say.

I lived at Watermark twice. The director of nursing called my pain management doctor and canceled my doctor's appointment without discussing her intentions, or reasoning. The result of her actions would have left me without medication with a detached leg from my pelvis. IT WAS Debilitating pain I lived with hour after hour and without my medication the pain brought me to my knees. I called Ombudsman and was quickly told this action was against the law. Ombudsman called Watermark and my appointment with pain management was reinstated. My pain management was very irritated at the time and made it clear to me this action was without concern for me. Then HR and the director of nursing came to my room and blasted me without a care about my feelings, or concerns or solutions for my resolution to the pain. I was ridiculed for at least 30 minutes. They did not have another doctor for me to see and it was clear they just wanted to control me. I have moved out of Watermark.

We really love it here and my mom is happy which is all that matter. They started family nights and we went to the first one last month so that was really nice. The executive director was there waiting on tables and they had entertainment come in so it was really fun for us. They do these monthly and have just recently started them back up since covid. I would definitely recommend The Watermark at Vistawilla to others.
