The Oaks at Waterman Village

The Oaks at Waterman Village is the one that I like the best. I was very impressed with it. It's huge. I like the units because they have a full kitchen and washers and dryers. Most of the ones I looked at do not have washers and dryers in their rooms. I have dogs, and at The Oaks at Waterman Village, you're in your own little home and all kinds of grass and woods are behind you. So it's much simpler with dogs if you just have to walk out your back door for them. They have two pools, a fitness center, and a chapel where they have nondenominational service. There's a bridge that goes from one side of the road to the other side, which is amazing to me because it doesn't matter where you live, you can use both sides. They have one dining room that is very exclusive if you want something very special that day. They have quite a big library, and they have rooms where you can do crafting and play cards. They have card rooms and pool tables. They have just about everything. And on the outside of Waterman Village, there are all kinds of doctor's offices. They don't belong to the village, but they're right there if you need something. Also, if you need to go to a doctor's appointment and you don't feel like you could drive yourself, they have shuttles that they take you. They also have shuttles that go to different places like Publix or maybe Walmart. Another thing I like about The Oaks at Waterman Village is that they have covered carports for every unit. You just have to pull up right in front of your door and get out. It just was nice.

I toured The Oaks at Waterman Village. They've got a new section that is very much apartment living with all amenities. In the older section, I would be more inclined to go into it because their facilities are duplex housing with a carport. I will also be able to walk my dogs easily. They have dining facilities that allow you to get involved with your meal plan or choose what you want. Some people can choose one meal a day or two meals a day. The food is wonderful. The staff was pleasant, friendly, and young. They have a nice library. They have a nice community center. They have a club if you want to join all kinds of card games. They got pickleball, shuffleboard, nice swimming facilities, Yoga instruction, and exercise, pretty much anything anyone might want.

I visited The Oaks at Waterman Village. The tour guide, Cheryl, gives an excellent tour. She was very understanding, kind, and patient. She even took us to lunch there and she answered all our questions. They have a beautiful dining room and the staff was friendly. The food is excellent.

Oaks at Waterman Village was very good. Because of the COVID, we can't go into the nursing and assisted living home so we had to take a virtual tour for those. We were able to get into one model, they have construction on a new site and since no one can see those, you'd also have to take a virtual tour for those places. They had 4-5 different models and they were nice, there was one vacant so we were able to look at that one; it's about 1100 square feet.

We went to The Oaks at Waterman Village. It's a neighborhood type community with garden homes or villas; it's not an apartment style community. It's very nice, very well established, and very well kept up. We had a very positive experience. The food was well prepared, well served, the portions were very nice and large, and there's a lot of choices.

After much research and visitations, we found Waterman Village to be our "happily ever after". The campus is lovely. The food is great ( we just love The Bistro)! The new Lakeside campus will begin construction soon. We're on the waiting list for The Oaks and a founding depositor for the Lakeside campus. We have enjoyed all of the activities they have arranged for us and met many people who will eventually be our neighbors. The staff at Waterman is exceptional, and we have been thoroughly impressed with their handling of life in a pandemic.
