Watercrest Spanish Springs is a wonderful option for individuals seeking great care in assisted living. It is a welcoming community where the staff works beautifully as a cohesive team. The residents are pleasant and active, the food is excellent, and the location is ideal. My mother lived here several years ago and I now bring my client who are looking for care. I highly recommend Watercrest Spanish Springs!
This is a heartfelt “shout out” to Jennifer Hutt, who leads New Business Development and Marketing for Watercrest Spanish Springs; along with the many other responsibilities she so graciously carries as part of their overall outstanding leadership team! Jennifer is the epitome of professionalism, compassion, and community-minded service. She is conscientious, approachable, truthful, insightful, and genuinely dedicated to the well-being of the residents and families she serves. From the moment we met her, she made us feel welcomed, informed, and supported. What stands out most about Jennifer is her unwavering positivity. I have never seen her without a smile, and her warm, friendly demeanor which immediately puts people at ease during what can often be a difficult and emotional transition. Her ability to listen, understand concerns, and provide thoughtful guidance made a tremendous difference for our loved one and our family. Simply put, Jennifer is the poster child for what outstanding service looks like. She represents Watercrest with grace, integrity, and genuine heart. We are grateful to know her, and Watercrest is incredibly fortunate to have someone of her caliber on their team. Thank you, Jennifer…for all that you do. The lives you touch are simply better because of you!
Watercrest is wonderful. The staff and the population are so much fun. I lived there for three months while I got my husband settled in the memory care unit and the interaction with his caregivers was easy. He is kept busy and engaged and “everyone knows your name”. The campus is clean and the chef prepares some delicious entrees. For holidays they have special menus and gatherings.
My experience with Watercrest Spanish Springs has been top notch! I have been there on several occasions for events and meetings. The interior is beautiful and tastefully decorated. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and overall pleasant. It is obvious that they care about their residents- addressing each by their name. Highly recommend speaking to Jennifer Hutt to learn more about what they offer and if it’s the right place for your loved one.
I wanted to start up by saying that I do not usually write reviews The when things are done the right way there’s no other option. First and foremost, the staff at Watercrest has been excellent. To start off with the wellness Director Jennifer Sparkman. So highly experienced and knowledgeable with a huge heart that always goes above and beyond.. Kayla Ramos the enrichment director. Oh my God, this woman just kept us on our toes, constant events and activities for all the residents. And lastly, but nowhere near least, Miss Cathy, the executive Director. What a wonderful woman, a true asset to Watercrest we consider her family.If you just walk in and look at the residents you will see all smiles. That should tell you everything as to what a wonderful community Watercrest Spanish Springs is.
