I recommend Watermark! Facility is very new, maybe a year & a half to 2 yrs old. Very luxurious decor. Caregivers r courteous & attentive & caring towards the residents. Between lunch & dinner 1 caregiver does educational stuff w/the residents, and exercise so the residents r engaged & not bored. Very good food! I've had my mom in 2 other memory care facilities. Compared to the other 2 this one is the best

Improvements are constantly being made for enjoyment and service.
There are some communication problems for families when trying to find information or contacting directly with staff. Food needs to be changed more often. I hear from others that the food is repetitive. But the new executive director is very responsive and trying to change these items. New staff has been hired too, as another activities person has introduced new ideas. They are also filling the facility with more new residents so socializing could improve.

A great start to a new lifestyle for my mom!
My mother has been there for 3 months now and is very much enjoying it. Not everything is perfect of course since they are still not at capacity and in the middle of signing on new clients for the first time and hiring more staff as more clients sign on, but overall they are doing a wonderful job of taking care of my mom in the assisted living division. The facility is brand new and has a beautiful elegant aesthetic with tasteful whimsical décor on the walls and a pleasant scent in the air. She especially enjoys the high quality food served 3 times a day and the fact she can exercise safely by just using her rollator to walk around the hallway on her floor. She also enjoys having some of her medical care come to her in her apartment. The Director of Residence Life is excellent. He is very warm and friendly and always knocking on doors trying to get each resident involved in the community events and activities. My mom has stopped driving so she appreciates that they help her arrange for some of her rides that she needs to get to her appointments and activities outside of the building. Her main activity before moving into Watermark was hosting a weekly Bible study group in her home and now Watermark has helped her continue this in a common room at Watermark. They have provided snacks of fresh fruit and water pitchers for most of the weeks and even put her Bible study as a group activity on their monthly activities calendar and she has had some new people join in already!

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

A Place for Mom has scored Watermark Laguna Niguel 9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
