Best way to secure INDEPENDENCE
Waterman Village residents uniquely have easy access to a vast array of living facilities, amenities and health service areas right on the Waterman Village campus. Much more than you’d find at a basic retirement community. This enables residents to best remain independent longer throughout life, in comparison to if they remained in their own homes outside of Waterman Village, by decreasing the need for others having to make various future/often complex decisions FOR them as they age.
Best ORGANIZATIONAL structure
As an established 35-year not-for-profit organization with a faith-based tradition that’s open to all, at Waterman Village, it’s mission over margin. As our staff Gerontologist Jeff Basset says having worked in the senior/retirement community industry for over 40 years, communities with this type of organizational structure tend to have a resident and staff population who are more satisfied, in comparison to residents who live in communities that are new, investor owned or corporate owned.
