  Bringing my 90-year-old mother and 94-year-old father to The Village at Waterman Lake for a two-week stay was something I approached with a tremendous amount of anxiety. As their caretaker, they have not stayed anywhere without me in the last four years, and I was deeply nervous about how this experience would go for them. What we found at The Village at Waterman Lake was far beyond anything I could have hoped for. From the moment they arrived, the staff created an environment that was not only safe, but joyful, peaceful, and full of genuine love and kindness. Every day, staff members greeted my parents warmly, hugged them, checked on them, and treated them like family rather than residents. It was obvious that the care and compassion shown there went far beyond job descriptions. My father, at 94 years old, truly came alive during his stay. I watched him become rejuvenated and engaged with life again in a way I had not seen in a long time. My mother initially thought of the stay as simply a “vacation,” but it became so much more meaningful for her as well. She made friends, attended art classes, listened to live music every day, and became excited about participating in activities again. One of the most beautiful outcomes of their stay was that they attended a bone-building exercise class while there, enjoyed it so much, and were inspired to join our local senior center after returning home so they could continue attending similar classes twice a week. As a caregiver, there are very few moments when you can truly exhale and trust others with the people you love most. The Village at Waterman Lake gave me that gift. I cannot express enough gratitude for the love, dignity, joy, and sense of community they gave to my parents. Thank you for creating such a beautiful place for seniors to not just live, but truly thrive.

  When our mother passed away, Dad was left alone in their house where he had lived his entire life. Very shortly thereafter he admitted that he was lonely, and it was a great relief to us that he agreed to visit, and move into, The Village at Waterman Lake. Despite battling a terminal illness, he thrived in his new surroundings, making new friends, participating in group activities and trips, and becoming more outgoing than we ever imagined he could be. He loved his new home and the people there. He had his two cats for companionship. And it was a tremendous relief to us, knowing that he was happy and surrounded by caring people who he interacted with on a daily basis. When Dad passed away, we were able to take solace in the knowledge that his last two years were not lonely ones. Dad made the most of his final days, and it was made possible by the support of everyone at The Village. N & C Turnquist
