I highly recommend

Water’s edge has been wonderful. It is a beautiful facility. The common areas and landscape are very nice and well kept. They have everything you could need: salon, craft room, gym, pool, theater, walking path, dog park, shuffle board, pool table/ game room, and so much more. The food is also very good. The best thing about it is the people. Everyone, from the sales reps, the nurse, activity director, front desk, cleaners, the kitchen staff, to the maintenance workers and assistants, are always kind, helpful and professional. I hate that I had to move my parents to a memory care facility, but I am so thankful that we found Waters Edge.

Review for Water's Edge of Lake Wales

Water's Edge is a beautiful facility. When I admitted my loved one, the room was freshly painted & cleaned. The manager was extremely helpful during the orientation & move in process and always available to answer any questions. I was kept informed when any issues arose, and administrators were quick to resolve any concerns I had. As in any healthcare facility, staffing is short. Each care worker was professional & gave my loved one as much care as they could at the moment. It was reassuring to know that level of care rose with the level of care needed, with an increased cost, without needing to move to another facility. On the downside, there seemed to be a bit of a power struggle between the hospice staff & facility staff. You do need to keep close tabs on the coordination of care. I recommend Water's Edge based on my experience.

Water's Edge of Lake Wales review

What we like the most about Water's Edge are the care givers as well as the ASL activities director. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

Our Family's Experience

We have to give kudos to the Gals at Assisting Hands. They made sure he got to dinner, activities, and outside time. They made sure he had a good variety, not just hamburgers and fries. They had activities that he could participate in, plus the Veteran's Day ceremony was real great as he was in the Air Force and they acknowledged that. It is expensive, but it was worth the cost.

Excellent care and facilities.

Our Grandparents and Mother experienced each level of care at WELW and we found that each one met our expectations. The staff and level of attention and care was great. I highly recommend this facility.

Wonderful place!

Water’s Edge of Lake Wales was a wonderful place for our Mom! She transitioned through Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care and it was so nice having all of this happen in the same building. The most important thing was that our Mom was comfortable in all three phases. The staff and facility at Water’s Edge are top notch and if we had it to do all over again we’d place Mom at Water’s Edge.

Be careful

Bad experience. We had a nice sales consultant .The independent living spaces were perfect. All along as part of their sales pitch they stressed an openness to customizing. After a couple of discussions, which were put in writing each time we had our agreement. However, when I got the final letter I was shocked - nothing agreed upon was there. And I mean nothing PLUS costs were higher. The manager (who had been copied all along on everything) decided to ignore it all. She made the excuse that she hadn't been involved and thus the things we had agreed upon weren't something they did. She literally threw her salesperson under the bus. It was a huge red flag. Even if you have things in writing it appears that doesn't matter. Imagine once your loved one is already there. It was a total waste of time. Without trust what do you have?

A beautiful community with wonderful caring employees. My father may need more skilled nursing unless scheduled physical therapy makes improvement.

Seemed like a nice place

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. I looked at a few communities in the area and this one stood out to me as being very nice! The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional.
