Each room has a large window, and its own bathroom with toilet, large shower with a padded bench, and sink. Each cottage has a wonderful covered porch with comfortable furniture. There is also an enclosed patio. One building is for memory care residents, so it is locked. The other building is not locked. The property has lovely, large, shady oaks, and a large lawn where I like to have picnics with my mother. Most important is the administration and caregivers. There is a full time nurse, activities director, chef, manager, and the all important caregivers. They are all wonderful, caring individuals for whom I am so grateful for.

I am writing this as a daughter that took care of my parents after their health failed them both…read more My parents were happy at Water's Edge in Bradenton. That is the only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1. When it came time to have them leave, all went wrong with the billing and finances. They were charged double rent TWICE during the months we were working on moving them out to be with family in another state. I HAD to find the errors and chase them with the property finance person - one was refunded promptly, the other refund has dragged out for months after dozens of emails, many ignored and unanswered. I kept pushing for an answer and was finally told it would be refunded, but was "so old" from November of 2023 it would take several more weeks. It never happened. Now their finance rep says they don't owe us the double payment refund and to "look at their ledger" and sent me a copy. Means nothing when we have a charge twice taken from our bank and I have to justify and decipher their ledger? NO WAY TO TREAT A CUSTOMER, much less a family in our position. Lack of customer service and follow through is appalling. No way to treat a family or run a business.

The tour was great. The promises were great. The reality was POOR. After several visits and tours,…read moreI placed my mother at the Bridges. Carers were there as a job. Not a vocation. They would "check in" on my mother, but then not come back to bathe her or assist as they promised . She went 6 days with no shower. I had to call. The room cleaning was a hit or miss. Picture a reluctant teen forced to do chores on a Saturday, then you understand. The "gourmet" food was soggy salad, cold main course and veg cooked so long it was no longer green. The dessert was yum. It occurred to me the second floor dining room may get hot food as they are served first. so if you are there, go upstairs. I witnessed residents complain about the food, some "lucky" patrons had their food reheated via the microwave. The server assigned to the area I was in was so rude to a resident that asked for a straw (several times) that I asked her if she was alright. I thought a bad day was the reason for her surliness. She informed me she was fine and that everyone wanted her to fetch stuff for them. (Like do her job?!?) I am still waiting for my beverage (I had to pay 17.00 for the privilege of dining with my mother) This was sad as many residents gathered up to an hour early to wait my dining doors to open. The van, a plus for me I thought, to take mother to the doctor, was never available. Even with 3 week notice. No doctor trips, no grocery store. Just used for outings that you had to sign up for. Limited capacity. Her medication was crazy. They promptly took it all away, reordered generic (she had not used the brand new 3 month supply yet) and of course billed us. I was confused. I asked. Still confused. So many meds were ordered and reordered. Why?!? The pool, nope. Cannot use. No life guard. They were refurbishing the pool for access, never saw that happen...yet they failed to mention this on the tour. The bright spots at the Bridges were the maintenance guy. He fixed and repaired and was so nice about it. The lovely woman who did the laundry. What a blessing she is. Kind and sweet. So I took my mother out of there. She was losing weight, was unhappy, was unclean, I was having to clean her room and still taking her places. I was still missing work. I was assisting the assisted living facility. Care: she was inside and safe. Best I can say.

The service was alright at first but then later, they didn't give her as much attentive care as we would have liked. Food wasn't that great. They finally fired the nurse in charge of that unit and things improved a bit, but then she passed away. We had some valuable stuff, jewelry, of my mother's that disappeared, then later her dentures, which we had replaced, very expensive, and later they lost her that new denture again. They also kept losing her clothes and bedsheets. Would not recommend. However, if you chose this place, DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLE STUFF IN THEIR CARE.
