Solaris Healthcare Waterman is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Tavares, Florida. It serves residents requiring post-acute rehabilitation and extended residential care.
Family experiences here are notably mixed. Those giving high ratings consistently praise the physical environment, light-filled rooms, clean facilities, tasteful furnishings, and scenic views including a lake, and describe a warm, welcoming atmosphere during visits. Families also highlight organized activities like costume contests, birthday celebrations with karaoke, and good food quality. However, a substantial portion of lower-rated reviews raise concerns about staffing responsiveness, particularly on weekends and during off-hours, with some families reporting extended wait times for assistance and food served cold to distant rooms. One family noted the therapy team is attentive but felt other care areas fell short in consistency.
The facility holds a 4.6/5 rating across 262 reviews. While many families express genuine contentment with their loved ones' experiences and appreciate the facility's aesthetics and activity programming, prospective residents and families should weigh the positive visitor and long-stay experiences against documented concerns about care delivery reliability.

Good staff, very caring and professional. No place is 100% perfect, yet they care, and they have good leadership. TIM, the director, has stepped up more than once to be the leader and example of their mission.
