This community was nice however it offered different levels of care and we were only interested in independent living. The community appeared to be well kept and clean. The staff we met were nice and friendly.

We toured this facility for our parent. Very impressive tour. Very new construction and this means it appears very clean. The facility is 4 floors, and 2 large wings, with an amazing central staircase (also has an elevator). The dining hall seemed smaller than needed for the number of potential residents. There was no room that we liked, that was on the dining hall level (3rd floor), available at the time we toured. We did not want any of the rooms overlooking the north end McDonald's. The craft room appeared very nice and of possible interest to our parents. The exercise room--they would never use. Beauty salon--maybe. Our parents at mid-80's seemed to be much older than the current residents, which was concerning. Despite this, we would have loved to have them live here. However, upon checking the Agreement, and comparing our parents' medical needs, we discovered that the Menu of Services (especially the Medication management) would put the price extremely far out of our budget, and (as with all facilities) there are very likely to be price increases every year, both for rent, and Menu of Services. So we chose another situation.

This is a new facility in Lakeville. With memory care and a locked facility it is what my Mother needs. More promises were made, that haven't materialized. I'm not sure if the housing person understood what happens in memory care or what they hope does. Not enough mental stimulation, not enough bible study, they promised weekly church also... This hasn't happened. All of these things are vitally important to my Mother, I would have looked elsewhere had I known what they told me was not true. Too much TV time!

Met with Vicky Wilcox yesterday morning. She is a wonderful marketing rep for this property and knows her product well. It was not quite what we are looking for, however: seemed lonely and teaming with residents like Summit Place. There were few employees, care givers etc to be found. Simply, it seemed like a half-vacant hotel with few activities and a very chilly dining room.

This community is like an apartment. Anytime the residents leave their rooms the staff tell them to go back to their room. They want to keep all the residents in their rooms. If the staff finds a resident in a common area, they ask what are you doing in here. The residents are afraid of the staff. The staff will not greet or talk to anyone in the community. At 9 pm the staff will walk into my loved ones room. This has scared my loved ones several times. The staff doesn't announce themselves or wear their badges. The staff has stated they have never been asked to knock on the door of the residents doors before entering. I have had to write several letters to the community about this. The Waters is an old hotel that has been converted to senior housing. It is a beautiful community. The staff is behind locked doors. You have to make an appointment to speak to staff. The staff personally distributes the mail to the residents. My loved ones did not receive all their mail and were missing checks. My loved ones didn't receive their mail for three weeks. The staff demeans the residents if they ask about their mail. Whoever runs the community runs this community in an abrupt style. The Waters only provides five meals a week. You have to decide which meal you are going to skip . This community is higher in cost than the previous community my loved ones were at. I am giving great latitude due to the pandemic. There is a lot of turnover at The Waters. I would not recommend this community to others.

I know these are strange and difficult times and facilities like the waters are scratching their heads trying to figure out how to handle it. BUT my poor sister and others in with her have been in lockdown for 3 months in their tiny rooms. Even their meals are brought to them in their tiny rooms with no company. She cant leave and we cant go in to see her. They will bring her outside to visit through a locked gate with an appt. She is virtually a prisoner and her crime is old age. She often asks me "what did l do to deserve this?" and l dont know what to tell her. The waters does not seem to have any kind of a plan. This is no way for people to spend the last years of their lives. Its cruelty, it borders on elder abuse. I must say the staff l do come in contact with are very nice and kind.

Been there since this facility opened. It is definitely a "for profit" business. Nothing wrong with that- just know going it this is not a non profit set up to serve. It is great for independent senior living. Once assistance is needed they are not staffed or trained for additional needs of seniors. Lack of training /lack of degreed professionals on staff has been actually very dangerous for residents in many situations It is very very expensive for an apartment that includes dinner and med services. Outing and activities are a farse. Maybe once a month is a "real" outing planned and there are no real daily activities, other that the morning chair exercise class. Staff turn over has been a constant problem. As residents form relationships the staff leave.

For [Removed] [Removed]. Very sorry to read about what happen to your Mother. My Mom was one of the first to move in the Waters of Plymouth. Lived in Assisted Living and then moved over to Enhanced Care. She too had Parkinson's Disease. At first the facility was charming and served delicious meals. Not long before things changed. The kitchen service company changed multiple times and the food quality dropped. The nurses were fantastic, but most of the nurses assistants were average to poor. If Mom chose to eat in her room, many times the food was delivered late or not even delivered. As you know, Parkinson medication must be kept on schedule. At first they told us they had a window of 15 minutes, then the window became an hour. My brother and I monitored the best we could and really got after the staff when they were late with her meals and her meds. I blame many of the issues we experienced due to cultural differences, ignorance, inadequate staffing and inexperience with elderly and medical procedures. Mom passed away Oct 2015. I was told, at that time, the staff was starting Parkinson Awareness Training. Obviously they need more training. My Mother could be handful, but the head staff never called the police. Thankfully I got the call. Sometimes in the middle of the night. Something is very wrong with the trained staff if they thought their only option was to call the police. My Mother enjoyed overlooking the highway in both apartments she lived in. She loved to watch the cars/activity. It kept her mind busy and the hallucinations out of her head. They don't accept any government $$$. All payments are out of your pocket. Our monthly bill was over $9000.00 when Mom moved in to Enhanced Care section. The quality of the nursing staff did not justify the cost. I'm not rating this facility, but I would recommend this location if your parents don't require advanced medical care. Hope your Mother finds Peace of Mind in her new location.

My father moved out from Broadwell 2 months ago. The facility is perhaps too new. They were short staffed always in the kitchen, nursing, housecleaning, and bathing. Many others are moving out too. It is important that others thinking about moving in know about the problems they are having. I would not recommend them at all.

The Memory Care staff is terrible. We are looking to move our loved one as soon as possible. Management only pays lip service to the issues with staff sitting on their phones while patients go unattended.

We moved my grandmother into Broadwell when it was brand new; we loved the physical space - so light and open, and made allowances for it being new (no activities initially, still hiring staff, etc.), but during the several months she lived there, the care actually got worse. Many of the initial staff left over the course of those months, not only aides but many of the directors. My grandma has dementia and staff were supposed to be helping with dressing, bathing and escorting. We were paying for these services but they were not being consistently done. By the end of my grandma's residence staff were not escorting her to any meals; instead another resident who also has memory problems would come to walk down with her. Staff were very slow to respond to inquiries - taking days to reply to calls or emails, sometimes not responding at all. There was no cleaning staff and the cleaning done being done by the aides was minimal. After the culinary director left my grandma was hardly eating. We moved her to a new assisted living community and both her improvement and the improvement in the level of care at her new community has been amazing. If your loved one needs any type of assistance I strongly recommend looking for a different community.

If you are a senior who is very independent and needs absolutely no services you may do okay here. If you are requiring any type of assistance this is not the place for you and I would avoid it. There are a few staff who are incredible but the other staff feel very superficial and like they are there to do a job and they are not very invested in the well being of the residents. It just did not seem like a very tight nit community.

I really wanted to like this place. It is beautiful. I had hoped it would be a good fit for my dad with dementia. The nursing staff are overworked and communication is poor. The poor communication and lack of follow through lead to a number of incidents, including a potentially lethal medication error- I had to report the facility to the state. Read the lease closely! The Waters is outrageously priced and provides lower quality care compared to other assisted living facilities. We were required to pay for 6 weeks of rent after my dad moved out due to needing a higher level of care (memory care) with specific requirements (keeping his emotional support dog) that The Waters couldn’t provide. I spent thousands on rent after he moved out for care he did not receive. I didn’t realize how bad the Waters was until I toured many other facilities and ultimately moved my dad. I’m so glad I moved him and so frustrated by the financial burden The Waters has imposed on our family.
