The Waters Senior Living

The Waters was the last place we searched and visited. We weren't sure it would be what we wanted bc it seemed like an apartment rather than a senior home. It ended up being the best place for our Mom. We were overjoyed they could accommodate her. They went over and beyond with their entire staff, experienced nursing staff, comforting care team, & amazing food service Director and staff, as well as helping with a referral when necessary for hospice services during our Mom's final days. The staff reached out respectfully to our Mom and the family. Extremely approachable and sincerely kind. We would recommend this facility very highly for senior independent living or an assisted living experience. They can also provide memory care. Very friendly homelike atmosphere with many activities provided by the Wellness Coordinator. The cost was equivalent to other facilities with much less services. Thank you for the recommendation. We felt our Mom was blessed finding this perfect location.

Our overall experience has been excellent, we are happy we chose The Waters of Oakdale for our loved one. The meals are very good, and they have a nice dining room, however we would prefer diabetic friendly notations. Our loved ones participate in very little so with with the activities so that for us is difficult to judge. For the value - the menu style pricing can get expensive as more is needed but for now it seems like a fair price. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

All of the staff, from reception to dining servers, are very engaging and pleasant. The apartment is roomy and is designed to let in as much natural light as possible. My loved one's apartment is always clean. The food is good and comes in portions appropriate for older people. My loved one loves the library and the lunch excursions to local restaurants. The facility is more expensive, but I would definitely recommend it to friends and family if the finances make sense.

The staff was awesome. Staff cleaned for me once a week. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is great. I was in a studio apartment that was huge with a kitchen, comfy chair. The one apartment that I saw had a laundry room, it was a one bedroom and it was a very nice size.

What stood out to me about this facility is that they are eager to make sure new residents feel they are welcome. Staff are friendly and kind. They provide quick and thorough housekeeping. I would recommend them to friends and family.

The interaction with the staff has been good. We picked this community because of the location, and it seemed like a cheerful atmosphere They do a good job of checking on my parents. They encourage them, to go to the dining room. It's great that it's next to a grocery store. I would recommend to other families.

The staff is awesome. My loved one likes the food. They are super welcoming, nice and friendly. I really love that is does not feel clinical like a hopsital, it's more like a hotel type of environment. The activities are good, they could offer more of a variety. it would be nice if they offered, a continued ambassador program for the residents. Overall, I would recommend to other families.

This facility is a great fit for my loved one. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is great. His apartment is comfortable. It's a bit far from the elevator, but he manages. The pricing matched his needs in that he qualified for reduced pricing based on his income. Plus it's close to home, so very convenient to visit him.

The facility is beautiful, huge windows in the apartments and the window coverings were slatted blinds and the appliances and woodwork in the kitchen and bathroom looked like someone really made it a first class apartment. The apartments were spacious. The dining was a menu to select from vs everyone gets the same thing each meal. The desk staff are super friendly, the activities person has been great. The place is super clean, well lit and halls are wide and ceilings are tall. I was proud to walk my parents who had not seen it prior to move in day. They love the apartment!!! Plus less than a mile from grocery and banking and less than 2 miles from target. I would for sure recommend them to family and friends.

Overall, we're very happy with the experience so far!

Staff is wonderful and helpful, there's just not enough of them. The facility is very clean. Keeping enough people on staff is like anywhere else. There are not enough.

Our family had an in person tour and we thought the tour experience was excellent.

We liked the fact that they had senior living and assisted living mixed together so my father in law could easily transition if he needed more care in the future. He was always the youngest in assisted living and with having that mix he feels like he fits in more. The other place he has been are predominantly women and this facility has a good amount of men. The staff make it a point to learn everyone's name. All of the staff know his name and call him by it - we thought that was especially nice. They pride themselves on being respectful and courteous to the residents, and that comes from the leadership on down. It has been a positive experience for us and we would definitely recommend The Waters of Oakdale to others.

I would highly recommend for people to go to The Waters at Wexford, per all my ratings above. They have good people who work there. They know what they're doing, and everyone is friendly. They take good care of my loved one, and everything is going well.

We had a great tour of The Waters of Oak Creek and thought it was a lovely place. All the places we toured were about the same - great amenities, clean, beautiful, really nice. This one was just less affordable for our family.

We chose The Waters of Oak Creek because I liked how everything was included in the price. Cable, water, rent, etc. It is all one bill so there are no add on fees or anything like that. The staff have been very friendly and helpful, especially the maintenance men. They do have a lot of different activities provided for the residents, although my mother is not one to participate. The food is pretty good and I have not heard any complaints. I would absolutely recommend The Waters to other families looking.

The team works together to ensure resident engagement. On weekends they have one of the staff as MOD (manager on duty) to organize activities and be present.

I have already recommended Waters of Eden Prairie to others. Once my loved one was able to get into the community it has been great. The staff went above and beyond to assist my loved one with their medical condition and to make sure the staff were trained to handle the equipment needed for my loved one. There are three meals a day served to the residents, and one option for the residents to eat.

Our family had an in person tour and we thought it was beautiful, however we just did not think in the long run this was going to be the right place for our loved one

Make sure you get the view you want because some are better than others! With my situation I'm pretty much in my room all the time. Make sure you can afford it because it is expensive, but it's in a great area. The actual location is phenomenal; it overlooks the town square that has lots of activities unrelated to the community. So that view makes a huge difference because you can see the farmers market, hear bands playing, and see little kids on the splash pad. If you're going pay the money, get the view because otherwise you won't get that experience. The Waters of Oak Creek is a community for 55+ and up, but most people are a little older. So if you're in your 50s and you come here just be aware that it's mostly older residents at this time. There's nothing wrong with that at all, but the activities are geared more towards that specific age group. They are open for suggestions however, and it does seem like they are trying to skew the activities to be more inclusive of all generations & ages.
