What People Are Saying
"The Watermark at Almaden is an amazing retirement community with an incredible amount of amenities. I love the concept of providing a place where families can come and STAY and visit with their family members, as opposed to always feeling like they have to pick mom and dad up and bring them to their home. They can enjoy a meal together (without having to prep or clean up!) swim in the pool, play a round of golf with the Golf Simulator, play a round or two of billiards...the list of amenities goes on and on! The people who work at Watermark are extremely friendly, and many go the extra mile to make sure mom and dad are happy in their home!"
"My first impression of this community is WOW! I attended an event last Tuesday with other healthcare professionals and I can't say enough about the team and all the amenities this community offers. We were welcomed by Andy, Patti, Ronn and other team members to a wonderful food spread, wine and a tour that showcased the community. The tour included the full spa, pool, gym, apartments, art room, movie theater, garden etc. A beautiful community. I appreciated the fact they encourage family members to also enjoy the amenities when they visit."
"Andy from sales was so helpful, responsive, and kind. He helped my mom get from hospital to moved in and sitting by the pool in a matter of days. She’s super happy there. I highly recommend this community."
