National Church Residences

Water’s edge has been wonderful. It is a beautiful facility. The common areas and landscape are very nice and well kept. They have everything you could need: salon, craft room, gym, pool, theater, walking path, dog park, shuffle board, pool table/ game room, and so much more. The food is also very good. The best thing about it is the people. Everyone, from the sales reps, the nurse, activity director, front desk, cleaners, the kitchen staff, to the maintenance workers and assistants, are always kind, helpful and professional. I hate that I had to move my parents to a memory care facility, but I am so thankful that we found Waters Edge.

Waters Edge is beautifully maintained, the staff is amazing, and the residents are warm and welcoming, underscoring that this is a great place to live. We couldn’t be happier with our choice for mom. She is settling to life and is opening up to the social aspect of this community. In her words “everyone is so nice and I’ve not had a bad meal yet in the restaurant!”

I thought you had to be 55+ to live here, but I see a lot of people that look much too young to be living here. My neighbors upstairs are very noisy. Fire alarm goes off often overnight. Apartments are kind of small for the price we pay.

It is reasonably priced For a senior living facility. Garden grove is not a facility. It is a section eight apartment complex for seniors

I would give them all a 5. Avondale Senior Village is really pleasant place to live. I can find no fault with it.

When my Dad first moved in the staff was very friendly and helpful with getting his apartment ready. The apartments are a great size for a single guy.

From our first tour, it was clear that the staff was very invested in the overall wellbeing of the residents and that helped make the decision to move our Dad to an independent living facility easier. While he still has some capacity to care for himself, the Staff and support services provided by NCR Partner "At Your Door have supported in everyway we hoped.

Walnut Trace has been wonderful. Zero issues! I would simply say you would be hard pressed to find a better facility, probably a lot of equals out there, but I doubt you could find better. Staff especially, super helpful.

My friend, [name removed], had been in very bad shape, emotionally, after the death of her husband. We researched assisted living/independent care facilities and decided on Water's Edge of Bradenton. We explained [name removed] needs to the staff and they fully understood. [name removed]has lived there a little over a month, in which time she has gotten physical, medical and emotional help and support. She is renewed and invigorated and definitely much, much happier. Water's Edge of Bradenton has been a Godsend for [name removed], and for me! It has eased the burdens of life for us. [name removed]has found happiness and comfort again.

The villas provide a nice balance for independent living while having all the activities, meals and services available to you.

We have to give kudos to the Gals at Assisting Hands. They made sure he got to dinner, activities, and outside time. They made sure he had a good variety, not just hamburgers and fries. They had activities that he could participate in, plus the Veteran's Day ceremony was real great as he was in the Air Force and they acknowledged that. It is expensive, but it was worth the cost.

Our Grandparents and Mother experienced each level of care at WELW and we found that each one met our expectations. The staff and level of attention and care was great. I highly recommend this facility.

Water’s Edge of Lake Wales was a wonderful place for our Mom! She transitioned through Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care and it was so nice having all of this happen in the same building. The most important thing was that our Mom was comfortable in all three phases. The staff and facility at Water’s Edge are top notch and if we had it to do all over again we’d place Mom at Water’s Edge.

I would definitely recommend Water's Edge of Bradenton to anyone who would like to experience an amazing community with continuity of care from independent villas to independent apartments, to assisted living, and even memory care. We have had an excellent experience with Water's Edge in the Villas where my mother-in-law lives. The residents are all very friendly as well.

What our family likes the most about the Walnut Trace community is that our moms social experience with the other residents has been great, and also we have peace of mind not knowing she is by herself. We would recommend this community to others if they are able to afford it.

I am very happy at Avondale Senior Village. Thank you for all your help at A Place for Mom. We have no meals here, but I wish they did.

We picked this community because it felt like home. [name removed] and other staff were so nice and friendly. It is a great place to live. I would recommend to other families.

I have not had any interaction with the staff. As far as food, I know my mom has gone to when they do the soup night. And you bring your own mug or bowl. I do know that they have a food pantry to help with those who need that. My mom did have a recent fall and luckily her door was not locked to her apartment and so people walking by heard her call for help. So, I know I can say the residents really came to her aid. I've met several of the residents and they are just as lovely as can be. One of the residents took care of my mom's dog in his apartment while she was in the emergency room. Everyone is very friendly and helpful there. Another thing that I like is that they offer salon services such as haircuts, manicures, and pedicures. They also have movie nights. I do think that the kitchen is a little outdated, however. And very very small. That's probably the only thing I've seen that I don't care for. I could say, if I was old enough, I would live there.

Legacy Village is awesome. It is a smaller facility with fewer people which allows more personal attention from the staff. The staff have all worked there 10 or 15 years which says a lot and you really get to know them. You know who is working with your loved ones. I would absolutely recommend Legacy Village, we have had no complaints what so ever. They have been a blessing.
