What Families Think

Spreading Joy had such a wonderful experience at Watermark Assisted Living! The staff were incredibly welcoming, kind, and supportive throughout our visit. We truly appreciated the opportunity to spend time with the residents and bring some extra smiles and happiness to their day. Everyone made us feel comfortable and welcomed, and it was clear how much care and compassion goes into creating a positive environment for the residents. We are so grateful to the Watermark team for allowing Spreading Joy to be part of their community. We look forward to visiting again and continuing to spread joy!

At the eye clinic for my mother I noticed a most wonderful human, Carlos Ware, caring for an older couple. His kindness toward them and those at the clinic, along with his absolutely infectious smile and positive attitude made me take note. Turns out he is a 5- year employee with your company so I had to write a review.

My mom has lived at Watermark for a few years now and she loves it so much. She loves the food, watches movies in their theater and has made good friends there. Speaking for her family, I’d like to thank the staff for taking such good care of her, especially Carlos Ware. He makes sure she gets to all of her many doctor visits on time and gets her settled in with care and is always available to communicate with. I live many states away and it’s a blessing to know she’s in such good hands for her important appointments (and also the fun outings!)
