From the day I walked in, it was different than ALL the others - the staff, cleanliness, activities, food and EVERYONE I have spoken to just loves living there. Julie Shelton who is the move-in coordinator has been FANTASTIC!!! Thanks Watercrest for making my mom feel like family!!

Thank you for the wonderful hospitality! We recently held a Corporate Breakfast at Watercrest Buena Vista and it was PERFECT. The staff was amazing and the food was delicious. I am still in awe about the room set up. You nailed it. When you walked in the beautiful room, it was clear that the Alzheimer's Association was in the house! All the attention to detail was amazing. I needed the breakfast to impress, and you made it happen. Thank you to everyone involved.

I wanted to reach out and compliment your team. We recently held a training meeting at your beautiful location, and the experience was exceptional. Your staff was incredibly accommodating, greeting us with smiles and ensuring all our needs were met. The building has such a vibrant, welcoming energy—it was wonderful to see so many smiling people and active engagement. Thank you for making us feel so at home

I have been at Watercrest for 2 years. Prior to moving to Watercrest, I visited 10 other senior communities. Watercrest was my top choice because of its location. I am close to drug stores, restaurants, shopping centers, gas stations, etc. Other reason is the availability of things to do such as a workout place with a trainer, library, movie theatre, craft room, games for residents can play, dining place, bar area to eat or have a drink with your meal, exercise events, etc. Being here feels like you are a big family where everyone cares and willing to help others. Management is friendly and willing to help anyone when he or she needs any assistance. Through my social world, I recommend Watercrest for any senior looking for an independent or assisted living.

Five-star service through and through! The team at Watercrest Buena Vista treats every resident like a VIP guest. The "white-glove" feel of the management and the pristine condition of the facilities make everyday life here feel like a permanent vacation. It’s rare to find a place that balances a warm, welcoming community with such a high level of luxury and professionalism. A total gem.
