As I walked through Watermark Laguna Niguel to visit my mom I passed a lively game of cards in the activity area, and there were several others in the exercise room for the afternoon exercise session. When I walked back out later there was a good size group in the bistro area doing a craft activity with a leader, and another group in front of the TV over the fireplace enjoying watching the World Cup together.<br><br>It reminded me of a very different experience from when mom was touring various assisted living facilities before she picked Watermark. At one location they gave us the list of activities for that day with the times and locations. As we walked through, I kept checking the calendar - but people didn't seem to be doing the planned activities or using the facilities, and actually we met very few residents out of their rooms.<br><br>As a family member it is so encouraging to see activities offered that people actually want to come out of their rooms to join, and to see so much happy interactions.<br><br>Thank you for providing staff and activity choices that resonate with the residents. It makes me very happy to know mom moved to a place with more than just food and a bed but offers a great quality of life.

I searched all over to find a place that would be suitable for dad, and couldn't believe it when I found Watermark in the town I grew up in. Excellent staff and great care. I wish the medical transport options were a bit more frequent and available (I would pay more for that)! Other than that, excellent grounds, wonderful staff, in a tasteful setting that feels rather home-like.

I recently had the opportunity to tour this community and was very impressed. The community is beautiful, clean, and modern, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Everyone I met was friendly and made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The care team was engaged with the residents, and it was clear they genuinely care about providing quality care and creating a positive environment. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely recommend taking a tour if you’re considering senior living.

I had been visiting my 84 year old cousin in Santa Rosa who was increasing in dementia and her 93 year old husband who was still sharp as a tack but was concerned about his wife’s care in case he passed away first. He asked me to look for memory care facilities in my area in case my cousin might need to live near me. I toured Watermark in my town, Laguna Niguel, and had a woman show me around all of the different areas of the facility. She then sat with me in her office with a brochure outlining the type of care my cousin could expect to receive at Watermark. The variety of options was remarkable and the various people I encountered, both staff and inpatients, were wonderful. I received detailed information and an application that I could provide to my cousin’s husband.<br>Since that time I have been invited to a number of visits for meals AND an art exhibit as well as educational gatherings on memory issues. I invited my 92 year old friend to all events and we have enjoyed everything!
