The Residence at Watertown Square generally receives positive feedback for its friendly and accommodating staff, clean facilities, and variety of activities. Many reviewers appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and the range of activities available, including music, bingo, and art classes, which help residents stay engaged and make new connections. The food is often praised for its quality and variety, although some mention occasional issues with communication between the dining room and kitchen staff, leading to shortages of certain items like soup. The facility is described as clean and well-maintained, with a pleasant environment that feels more like a hotel than a nursing home. The location is convenient, with easy access to local amenities and transportation. However, some reviewers note that the facility can be costly and suggest improvements in communication and staffing in the dining area. While most experiences are positive, a few reviewers express concerns about leadership and responsiveness to family inquiries. Some mention a lack of medical staff on-site, requiring external arrangements for medical care. Despite these issues, many families feel their loved ones are well cared for and safe, with management being hands-on and accountable. Overall, The Residence at Watertown Square is recommended for its friendly staff, clean environment, and engaging activities, though potential residents and families are advised to conduct thorough research to ensure it meets their specific needs.

I want to live there! The staff are all warm and friendly. I can tell it is a great community by how the residents are smiling! Clean beautiful private grounds. Not on a busy street. Renovated this year, unlike others that tell you "oh, we are going to renovate". They have great trips like going to York Beach Maine and eating there at a restaurant! Easy to walk around. Stores near by all with in walking distance plaza, wine and liquor store, CVS, many restaurants for change of pace! They don't nickel and dime you like some others. No pet fee, no room transfer fee, family can visit and eat there no extra charge! Wonderful! My mom is very excited! Ask for a tour! Seeing is believing!
