    Review

    Watercrest St. Lucie West is a senior living community that has received mixed reviews from residents and their families. On one hand, many reviewers praised the facility for its open, inviting, and modern interior. The apartments were nicely appointed, and the staff was friendly and professional. The outdoor gardens were beautiful and inviting, offering a water view that added to the serene atmosphere.

    However, there were some negative comments about the facility as well. One reviewer compared it to a prison, although they did not elaborate on what specifically gave them this impression. Another mentioned that while the place was neat and clean, the food was mediocre, neither good nor bad. They also noted that there was a lack of male residents, with about 90% of the population being female.

    Despite these criticisms, several reviewers had overwhelmingly positive experiences at Watercrest St. Lucie West. One person described it as practically brand new and beautiful like a Disney resort. They highlighted the high ceilings, big windows with courtyards, beautiful art on the walls, and water features throughout the facility. The community director was commended for working out an affordable care plan for their mother.

    These positive opinions were echoed by another reviewer who found everything at Watercrest St. Lucie West wonderful. From the food to the amenities to the activities provided, they felt that nothing else compared to this assisted living facility in terms of quality and affordability. They particularly enjoyed cocktail hours with karaoke where the director would serve drinks to residents.

    Another individual who visited Watercrest St. Lucie West was impressed by its beauty and amenities such as a hair salon and physical therapy services within the building. They also mentioned that everyone seemed happy during their visit.

    A family member whose grandparent resided at Watercrest had mixed feelings due to difficulties caused by COVID-19 lockdowns but appreciated how staff went above and beyond to ensure communication with families remained strong and residents were well taken care of. The facility organized events like drive-by parades for Mother's Day and a drive-thru car show for Father's Day.

    One reviewer who saw everything at the facility except for the memory care section noted that the community was wonderful overall, but lacked sufficient parking for visitors. They were impressed with the staff's engagement in activities like memory games and shopping expeditions.

    Finally, there were a couple of reviewers who had less positive experiences. One individual described poor service in the dining room, with problems such as burnt food and slow service. However, they did mention that the dining room had a varied menu.

    Despite these mixed reviews, Watercrest St. Lucie West generally received praise for its beautiful setting, professional staff, and convenient location. The range of activities offered and the quality of the apartments seemed to be appreciated by most residents and their families.
