I visited the Waters on Mayowood, it’s a lovely place, and if I had the money, I would go there. The rooms were nice, and everybody that lived there was very happy. The staff was pretty informative. They have many activities for the residents, they provide transportation, they have rooms to play cards, games, and stuff in the facility, so they pretty much provide for a well-rounded life.

been living here for awhile. Was just notified of a substantial rent increase which accompanies ongoing reduction of services,such as included originally included bus shuttle transportation. Restaurant meals have swiftly increased the past year, and they have yet to include a small salad with any meal. If you like a $9.00 burger ($10 if you want some onion) Cheap 70% lean hb is used. Small portions generally and not typical home meals the former farmers expect. The free shuttle now costs at least $15 per trip except for a few runs to Mayo clinic. Management doe not relate to residents. and continually succeeds in angering the workers. Promised improvements (necessary corrections) are not addressed or even recognized.

The Waters was brand new and beautiful and more like independent living. As soon as you walk in, there's a main front desk area that was actually a square, so it was like a hub of activity with people coming and going, busy with a lot of active seniors. It was very modern. All of the colors were very enticing. They had a spectacular dining room with a deck that overlooked some beautiful wooded area. Their rooms were gorgeous. As a resident, you could put in your own package. Their base rate was only for the rent. If you wanted to take meals, you would have to add them on. They had a shuttle bus.
