Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

Many things to like about Waters Edge. My husband has lived there about a month now, and he's happy with the food, enjoys the people and feels the staff gives him excellent care. I've found everyone to be friendly and helpful. Some really go the extra mile to help make the adjustment to assisted living easier. Janine spent over an hour helping us figure out how to get the 49ers game on the…

She helped me to my car…

I highly recommend Waters Edge to…
