I have discovered, since my review, that Watermark itself did not make the ruling about my Mother never going back to my Daddy's care, but because they put her in St. Mary's, The Hospital decided that. Watermark started that ball rolling, but St. Mary's actually made that happen by filing paperwork with the State.
Watermark at Continental Ranch still isn't a place I would recommend for your loved one with Dementia/Alzheimer's. Especially if they've hit the stage where they are showing Aggressive/Aggravated behaviors! If they have not yet, they likely will. Look into the disease! Even people who have been good natured all their lives can suddenly turn aggressive! This place needs to train their care givers for that eventuality if they want to keep a "memory care" ward!
The one thing I forgot to mention is the fact that the ward where they are housed is Co Ed. NOT a good thing when you have patients who have a tendency to wander around "in the all together", or wander into open rooms and disrobe. We constantly found clothing and other articles in my Mother's room that were Not Hers, and they Still can not find several things that Were Mom's. If I knew something wasn't Mom's, I gave it back!
