Water's Edge of Bradenton

It was lovely and much bigger than others, and they had a private screened-in outdoor space. They had covered parking, a marvelous community center, lots of clubs, beautiful views, places to walk around, beautiful heated pool, and lots of activities. The staff was so friendly, go out of their way to show you around, and they're very helpful. The food was marvelous, and their chef had lots of awards. It's a beautiful facility with wonderful people, and the guards were nice.

It is very nice. The staff is excellent. The apartments had a variety of layouts and majority of them had some kind of a nice view. They all had washers and dryers in the units. The dining room looked like a dining room in a hotel. They had a nice movie theater, large fully-equipped exercise room, and a nice outdoor heated pool.

It is a wonderful place to live. It is a community with three buildings: assisted living and memory, independent living, and activities, which is good. It has awesome activities. We have a great, heated swimming pool. The apartments are big and very well situated. The best thing about the apartments compared to what I have seen is the size and the facilities. I have been here for seven years now, and it's a good place. The food is excellent, and the staff is great.

My mother is here. It is very nice. She has a fairly large apartment, and it seems pleasant enough. She says the food is good; she gets breakfast and dinner. They have a bus that takes the residents places they can sign up for, church services for Catholics on Thursdays, bus transportation on Sundays, bridge club, crossword puzzle club, and crafts club.

I very much liked it. They have the best selection of spaces and rooms. You can get virtually anything you want there, including separate villas.

What we saw was very nice. We did not choose this one because it was multi-level. I thought it would be difficult for my parents to go up and down the elevator and, at the time we went there, they did not have a one-bedroom apartment available. They only had studios available, and that was too small. The dining room was clean and bright. They had a whole lot of things listed including a pool with lots of activities and a library; there were a lot of things. We really did like it, but they didn't have what we needed at that time and, being multi-level, we didn't want the elevator problem. It's a very new facility.

My parents moved in. It was close to where they lived, they were satisfied with what they saw, and they were able to keep their dog. They have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a living room. They have all kinds of things going on. They have dance groups coming in, music, ice cream socials, and outdoor activities.

It had several levels, and the gym was not in the building with the rooms. It was clean, very nice, and it was recommended by my friend’s psychologist. The staff was very nice, and they invited us for barbeque. His room would have been on the third floor, and he would have to wait by the elevator to eat on the second floor. He falls all the time and he can’t stand up, so to me that would have been terrible. They need a dining room on every floor so the tenants don’t have to wait by the elevator.
