I liked this community and all that they had to offer. The people were accommodating and answered everything thing that we needed. It was just to far for grandma and to expensive. Everything was good though and very nice.
The Residence at Watertown Square was a clean and up-kept community. I was received with friendly staff and a smart tour guide. The community unfortunately did not meet our needs but it was very nice. Nurse care and complimentary transportation was available. I would recommend a tour of the community to families in search of a good community.
From the initial contact with your service and Watertown this difficult time was made immensely easier. The sales and promotion staff was thorough and exceptionally friendly. Options were spelled out in easy to understand detail so budgeting was facilitated and decisions were easier to make. But primarily, our mother has made a smooth transition to Watertown and enjoys the staff and services. They are professional and their advice has made us all understand our options and future course of action. Thanks for the expert advic... read more
It had looked so impossible to get Lil to move anywhere. "I'm staying right here" Our options and time given to this were running out. Sales and marketing director, Teresa offered to speak with her. She made Lil feel comfortable and then presented the facts. She asked her to "come and live at my house, give it a try". Lil agreed to sign herself in. She has not regretted the decision. She is well taken care of and we are happy, too.
Since the Residence had a massive flood the ceiling in the lobby has been removed and covered with plastic, about two months ago. The lower half of walls near the elevators have been removed.

No plans for residents to get out if there was a fire. The food is nominal at best. We were told doors are locked at 8pm, however we returned a resident at 9:30pm... read more
I saw the room they had set aside for my wife, who has some cracks in her pelvis. They strung us along for 6 days, and we thought we had solved our problem. Then, just as we were ready to sign up, they decided they would not take her, because she would require too much care. They knew all along exactly what her problems were. They can't be trusted.
The community hasn't been responsive to the family with an update on services that my loved one will need once back in the community. The food has been very good for my loved one. The staff have been friendly. The community is clean.
I cannot give this facility a rating. I speak from first hand experience, no measure are taken to correct issues. The degree of uncaring is overwhelming. I am planning to move my mother out as soon as possible.
