Waters Edge Lodge was a great place and working with the people there has been great. It's a great location. The rooms were above average and nice. The only thing I would say that I was a little disappointed with was that there's no air-conditioning in the rooms. There's air-conditioning in the hallways, but that was the only thing that took me back a little bit. They have exercise classes, outings, a walkway around the property by a lagoon, and a small game room that's near the front of the facilities. They have a pretty large dining room. They have an activity room and a patio area. The staff was very attentive and friendly.

I toured Water's Edge in Alameda and was very impressed. I toured the assisted living and the place was light, airy, clean, friendly, and had a nice layout aesthetically. Everything was well-maintained and clean. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to have my dad there. I didn't eat there, but I was impressed with the fact that it's a sit-down menu. They sit down, they get a menu and they can choose what they want to eat. It's not a set menu every day. They had the movie theater going. I saw some exercise. I don't know if that would help with physical therapy or just sessions, but I did see some exercising. They have nice outdoor patio areas, some with the water view of the lagoon. They have beautifully maintained gardens and outdoors as you walk inside.

My mother was a resident of The Lodge for over 3 years. She enjoyed her time there. She was able to find a group to play bridge with and had a great time at bingo every night. The owners are genius at hiring caring and compassionate employees. My mother had some mild cognitive impairment and the staff was wonderful to her. I highly recommend The Lodge. Your loved ones could not be better taken care of.

We moved my dad to Waters Edge Lodge in May 2017, and couldn't be happier with how well he is taken care of. The Caregivers, Nursing Staff, and Admins are great! We no longer worry as we know he is in good hands. Due to his level of care he resides on the first floor receiving premium care which is all inclusive unlike most facilities that are a la carte. We had visited several facilities, and were getting discouraged until we walked in to Waters Edge Lodge and immediately knew we had found the best place for my dad. His room has a beautiful view of the lagoon, and he enjoys nightly Bingo and Movies. They also have activiies throughout the day, and if he needs to go to Safeway or CVS there is a walking path that leads right to the shopping center. We visit dad 2 - 3 times a week and both the employees and the residents always seem genuinely happy...which tells me alot! We also enjoy the fresh Peets coffee and Otis Spunkmeyer cookies in the cafe while we visit with dad :-).

Waters Edge Lodge was clean and nice. The staff was very helpful. The residents could watch TV in the living room. They had a piano and different activities. They took them out to the movie theater. The food was good.

Waters Edge Lodge was very clean and well-kept, and it looked like they had lots of activities. It's a very beautiful in terms of location. The difficulty for us was my father-in-law is wheelchair-bound, so the facility would not work for him. I've since learned of other people living there who are doing very well. It's a clean, modern facility.

I like living here. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The staff knows all our names. I can walk to Safeway and CVS. Our lodge is on a lagoon. It's very beautiful and peaceful here. I can participate in many different activities. Sometimes, I don't like the food.

Came in for a tour of the facility to see if it would be a match for my grandma. It was so welcoming. When we arrived, it literally smelled like chocolate chip cookies. The residents were so nice and engaging. My grandma isn't ready to move yet, but she knows Waters Edge is her first choice.

Waters Edge Lodge welcomes residents as family. All staff knows each resident and cheerfully assist them. I’ve lived at The Lodge for 2 ¼ years. I’m 93 years old and I hope to live to 100 years on this warmth and caring community.

Waters Edge Lodge is a wonderful residence for seniors who are mobile. It is close to a small shopping centre and along a beautiful waterway. The staff is exceptional and there are many activities that residents can participate in. The fees are reasonable. My father was here for 8 years and was well cared for.

We're very happy with the service at Waters Edge, and we think that they are very attentive and kind. My mom's room is small, but she has a very nice view. She likes the food, so I would say that the food is OK. They have music every day, they have various classes, and they have outside events that they organize. I like the location because it is close to my home. I talked to some other family members who had their parents there, and I got really personal feedback. I like the size: not too big, not too small.
