I had a very nice visit at Blue Water Lodge. I met a number of the residents and I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly everyone was. The staff is great and the place is like being on a cruise ship. It was pretty well set up. The place is very clean, efficient, and gracious. The apartments are very nice and you don't have a feeling of apartment living since it's a little cozier than that. There are lots of little nooks where you can read, write, or do what you want.

I visited Blue Water Lodge. They were very kind and polite, but it was too expensive. The apartments they showed me were very nice, very clean, and freshly painted. It had easy access plus a handicapped bathroom that were easy to go in and out. They had handicapped rails for balance in the shower and a van for doctors' appointments.

Blue Water Lodge had the nicest layout and was extremely clean. The rooms were very spacious. The staff was great. It was excellent. They had three meals a day, a beauty parlor, and doctors who came in, plus had transportation to local doctors. They had different trips and different parties.

Blue Water Lodge had some nice cottages that were separate, but they were a little expensive ($4,400 a month). The food was a little better. The only thing I didn't like was that you had to eat on a schedule, and they didn't have a kitchen in their place. They had a library and a little room in case you wanted to have a big party. The rooms were nice. They had bingo.

My mom was at Blue Water Lodge. She lived there about a year and a half. She was quite pleased with it. She paid the price for an apartment. It was expensive for what it was but she was able to bring all of her furniture. They had lots of things for residents to do, but they weren’t always as interested in it. At Blue Water, the staff was not like a skilled nursing staff; they’re more like waiting staff. Considering they don’t get tips when they wait on them, those people were wonderful. Blue Water was a nice place, if that’s what you’re looking for, and I thought they were great to Mom. It was a good place. I definitely would recommend it, but it was little on the expensive side.

They’re doing a great job taking care of my dad at Blue Water Lodge. Everybody there is friendly. They have a lot of activities, and the management is very helpful. My dad is doing fine, and he is gaining weight. I would recommend this place to others.

At the Blue Water Lodge, we had lunch, and it was a very nice setting. My mother very much enjoyed it. I've left my options there open. They have contacted me several times and offered additional visits, even a no-cost visit where my mother could stay overnight in more motel-type setting, but she doesn’t want to do that right now. We only saw one apartment and it was fully furnished and beautiful. It was one-bedroom with a full bath, full kitchen, living room, and balcony. All of the people seemed very friendly. The woman that we had talked to introduced us to several of the residents, and everyone seemed very friendly. It seemed like the right age bracket, but my mother didn't feel that she was old enough to be there. It was very clean. If she were to go any place, this would be the one that we would choose. It seemed like they have a lot of activities for them like casino trips, musicians that came into the building, and more of those types of things.

We have visited Blue Water Lodge, and we were impressed with it, but it was very expensive. They showed us a two-bedroom apartment which looked nice, and they also showed us a cottage which looked nice as well.

We have my mother in Blue Water Lodge, but she passed away. Everything was nice there, and it was near to where I live. Everybody there was very understanding and very patient because my mother has dementia; she was there for about seven years.
They handled her very well. The room was perfect for her. She had a living room, a sofa, and a kitchen area. They had a lot of activities, they have people come in, and they have entertainment. They have buses that take them for rides, to movies or shopping, and doctor’s appointments.

If I were going to make a choice tomorrow, Blue Water Lodge would be one of the top 3. I looked into a 1-bedroom, and it was very adequate. The staff was very nice and very knowledgeable. They did their job very well. They have buses that take the folks to the mall. They play wheelchair volleyball. They have movies and a pool. It’s a gorgeous facility, and the whole place is basically built around the dining area. Its presence is very impressive as you walk in the door.

When we checked out Blue Water Lodge for my parents, we liked it and thought it would be good for them. This one also is close to my house. We got my parents a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment. It has a living room and a small kitchen. It is not really big, however, we are very pleased with the accommodation. We are also very pleased with the management staff. They offer a lot of activities for their residents. They do a lot of things there. They take them out and travel in a bus. They take them to and from appointments. Overall, we are very satisfied with this place for my parents.
