Absolutely Recommend!

My family has had a wonderful experience with Watermark Laguna Niguel. Our dad is currently in memory care there. Staff members take such great care with the residents, treating each person with compassion and respect. They provide many activities for the residents, including exercise classes, trivia, and music programs, to name a few. I have found the staff to be very responsive and communicative regarding our dad’s well-being. It is such a relief to know he is getting quality care in a safe and supportive environment. Shout out to Watermark’s Resident Care Director and Memory Care’s Program Director who both go above and beyond!!!

Watermark Laguna Niguel

I gave low ratings in administration and quality of care because, although the facility is very beautiful and clean, it was significantly understaffed and experienced a high turnover in leadership. During the little over a year that my mom lived there, there were three different directors. When she moved out, they were already searching for a fourth, as the third director was leaving at the same time we were. The front reception desk should be staffed 24/7, but it was only covered during regular working hours. Because of this, my mom was once locked out of the building after walking a visiting friend out and was unable to get anyone to unlock the front door to let her back in. That was very concerning. That said, the food was excellent, and the staff members who were there were always kind and friendly — there just weren’t enough of them. The other residents were also very warm and welcoming, which made a positive difference in her experience.

Best we found

I recommend Watermark! Facility is very new, maybe a year & a half to 2 yrs old. Very luxurious decor. Caregivers r courteous & attentive & caring towards the residents. Between lunch & dinner 1 caregiver does educational stuff w/the residents, and exercise so the residents r engaged & not bored. Very good food! I've had my mom in 2 other memory care facilities. Compared to the other 2 this one is the best

Improvements are constantly being made for enjoyment and service.

There are some communication problems for families when trying to find information or contacting directly with staff. Food needs to be changed more often. I hear from others that the food is repetitive. But the new executive director is very responsive and trying to change these items. New staff has been hired too, as another activities person has introduced new ideas. They are also filling the facility with more new residents so socializing could improve.

A great start to a new lifestyle for my mom!

My mother has been there for 3 months now and is very much enjoying it. Not everything is perfect of course since they are still not at capacity and in the middle of signing on new clients for the first time and hiring more staff as more clients sign on, but overall they are doing a wonderful job of taking care of my mom in the assisted living division. The facility is brand new and has a beautiful elegant aesthetic with tasteful whimsical décor on the walls and a pleasant scent in the air. She especially enjoys the high quality food served 3 times a day and the fact she can exercise safely by just using her rollator to walk around the hallway on her floor. She also enjoys having some of her medical care come to her in her apartment. The Director of Residence Life is excellent. He is very warm and friendly and always knocking on doors trying to get each resident involved in the community events and activities. My mom has stopped driving so she appreciates that they help her arrange for some of her rides that she needs to get to her appointments and activities outside of the building. Her main activity before moving into Watermark was hosting a weekly Bible study group in her home and now Watermark has helped her continue this in a common room at Watermark. They have provided snacks of fresh fruit and water pitchers for most of the weeks and even put her Bible study as a group activity on their monthly activities calendar and she has had some new people join in already!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
