“I am a retired 40 year teacher and I just moved my Mother on July 22 to independent living Waters Edge Community and I cannot believe how smooth the process went! Brandon Dees the sales Counselor was unbelievable! His Communication and Organization was spot on for everything! Waters Edge had experience movers who they recommended and Brandon hooked us up with everything we needed to help make my mom's transition from a house at Mt. Vernon estates into independent living at Waters edge. It has been a very positive and happy experience. Brandon also connected us with Kellie Innes from Southwest home care and she immediately got us connected to home care doctor and nurse care. Finally, Brandon got us connected to Home care helpers who have been outstanding for extra care which we realized she needed. Waters Edge community has been fantastic for my mom, everyone is so willing to help and everyone is getting to know her fast! The food has been great and Mom is very happy. I highly recommend Waters Edge for your Family. My Mom is now in a secure and safe environment and I am very happy. If you're looking for a great retirement community for your loved one take a hard look at Waters edge. Thanks G.”

“This is without a doubt the best place for individuals that need Assisted Living. If an individual has an older parent, they should look here first.Its beautiful, pristine living conditions, the staff is wonderful. My husband's Uncle moved here after his wife passed away and he showed signs of beginning Alzheimers. Both of my husband's parents had Alzheimers. They lived in Tennessee and we had a difficult time finding a place for them. We changed places several times and finally found the V.A. on Cowards Mill Road in Knoxville to be outstanding. But there's no place I've seen that's as appealing and wonderful as Waters Edge. If an individual lives in Bradenton then this is the first place I would look look. It's wonderful and Alzhiemers Units are presently being built next to the existing structure. Waters Edge has everything. The Apartment units are wonderful. They have a porch attached. There are activities planned, swimming, exercise, & the main thing is its clean and the personnel are so kind.”
– Kirby Manning
