The right choice

Waters Edge is beautifully maintained, the staff is amazing, and the residents are warm and welcoming, underscoring that this is a great place to live. We couldn’t be happier with our choice for mom. She is settling to life and is opening up to the social aspect of this community. In her words “everyone is so nice and I’ve not had a bad meal yet in the restaurant!”

Review for Water's Edge of Bradenton

The options of living: villas, IL, AL, and memory care. Food is really good with options to preorder for pick up to take to room or if you are feeling under the weather they will deliver to apt in IL (limited menu) My mom has had primary care doctors, cardiology appt, scans, blood work and pt without ever leaving her apt. Activities are frequent and varied to meet interests of anyone. There is a library/game room/puzzle room on every floor of IL. One trip to Publix and Walmart each week is provided or you can order groceries for delivery to your apt. [name removed]the sales rep is my absolute favorite !!! The location is centrally located in Bradenton. Quiet. Like living in a neighborhood not a high rise on the corner of a busy street.

They are nice but cold at same time. Need to smile all the time. Get to know residents routine and respect them. Encourage outings and print activities in large print.

Highly recommended retirement living

When my Dad first moved in the staff was very friendly and helpful with getting his apartment ready. The apartments are a great size for a single guy.

Water's Edge of Bradenton has been a Godsend for [name removed], and for me! It has eased the burdens of life.....

My friend, [name removed], had been in very bad shape, emotionally, after the death of her husband. We researched assisted living/independent care facilities and decided on Water's Edge of Bradenton. We explained [name removed] needs to the staff and they fully understood. [name removed]has lived there a little over a month, in which time she has gotten physical, medical and emotional help and support. She is renewed and invigorated and definitely much, much happier. Water's Edge of Bradenton has been a Godsend for [name removed], and for me! It has eased the burdens of life for us. [name removed]has found happiness and comfort again.

We absolutely would recommend the facility and we actually have already! The move in process was very easy! Communication is AMAZING! Housekeeping is great. The food is okay, but part of that is just because my loved one is not interested. The staff is wonderful!

I would definitely recommend Water's Edge to anyone

I would definitely recommend Water's Edge of Bradenton to anyone who would like to experience an amazing community with continuity of care from independent villas to independent apartments, to assisted living, and even memory care. We have had an excellent experience with Water's Edge in the Villas where my mother-in-law lives. The residents are all very friendly as well.

Would not recommend to anyone

This place has really gone down hill since December 2022. A lot of people quit In The end of December and never got replaced. The rent went up while quality went way down.

Overall a 5/5

All of our family members have found it to be very nice. It's generally always clean, and the aides are there doing their jobs. Overall we've been really happy. It's a good place, and we know that our loved one is well cared for. She's eating well and sleeping well. One area for improvement is the activities. I think they should have more activities, especially because it's memory care. But overall she's in very good hands.

Wonderful beautiful environment for my mother

I moved my mother down to Water’s Edge independent living facility in December from Pennsylvania.My mother has made many friends and is very happy in her new apartment. I visit quite frequently stay and eat dinner with her. The wait staff is excellent and the food choices are delicious. Waters Edge activities are wonderful. Especially the wine and cheese parties and the entertainment! It feels like one big happy family as everyone is so outgoing and caring. At Waters Edge. My mother is getting the medical attention she requires and they provide her with transportation to her appointments. The staff is very helpful and outgoing. I definitely feel we made the best choice for my mother at Waters Edge!

My tour review

The tour was great. We were in the process of moving and we had to do the tours remotely. The community was great but there was just another community that worked out better for my loved one.The tour guide was good and was able to give me all of the information I needed about the community.

Great community for mom

I visited 8 different independent living facilities and choose Waters Edge for my mother.Everyone we have had contact with are very helpful and courteous. She gets 2 meals per day and the food has been gourmet style and excellent.. the chef is very caring and comes out to the tables to ask how the food is every night. The staff have been extremely helpful and caring. The cleaning lady is very good. I am very happy that we choose Waters Edge. It is a gaited community and feel she is in a safe and caring community.
