Enjoyed the tour and the rooms. Had lunch, quite good. They went the extra measure to help with our allergies and problems. Appreciate that.

Our sales agent Doug was very good at explaining everything to us and showing us around. We decided this was a good fit for our parents. The facility is very nice, and the residents were very welcoming!

I have only taken a tour of Watercrest at Katy. However, my tour was very positive and I have narrowed my search down to Watercrest at Katy as soon as my current home is sold.

One of my friends mother lived there until she had to move for more care. The staff and apartments were amazing. I was also impressed with all of the events on site and external they offer residents.

Last year, we decided it would be best for my dad to move closer to us, from Dallas to Katy. This wasn't an easy decision and my dad dragged his feet as long as he could. We toured 4 different facilities in the Katy area and none began to compare to this one. In working with Jonah, he knew the residents and facilities inside and out - who was doing what, what fun things were happening and where, etc. What stood out was every time we passed a resident they would stop and talk to update Jonah on something personal in their life. I could tell he was valued as part of the community there - this made all the difference. We didn't see this level of engagement, interaction, or just positive vibes from any other facility. It really worked out in our favor. My dad has lived there for 4 months now and went from almost angry that he was moving to telling us he's doing more "living" than he's done in years.

Jonah did an amazing job (1) getting to know my dad as a person long before we moved in, (2) highlighting facility amenities that would appeal to my dad, (3) sending so many extra touches in the mail before and after moving in to help the whole family feel welcome, including my daughter, (4) introducing my dad to the Welcome Committee to show him the ropes while he got settled, (5) being just a text away for anything we needed, no matter how small. He's been such a pleasure to work with and a truly integral part of a successful move for my dad.

When we arrived at Watercrest, we met with Jonah Frank to talk about an independent living facility for my mom. He gave us a great tour of the buildings and we got to see a few rooms. I found Jonah to be very personable, attentive, and concerned with the details of our particular situation. Plus, he was very knowledgeable about the facility, the lease contracts, and the services offered. Jonah was very customer service oriented and is the reason Watercrest is our top choice!

I have been living at Watercrest in Katy for about a year. I have made some amazing friendships thanks to Jonah Frank. Jonah not only sold me on Watercrest with his amazing knowledge of why he thought Watercrest would be a great place for me to call home, he also made me feel welcome. Jonah took time to answer any questions that I had regarding the amenities as well as the security Watercrest offered. While we toured the grounds I noticed how the tenants were so happy and greeted jonah as he were their family. Jonah went above and beyond to help getting me moved in and settled. He also introduced me to the current tenants that I now call some of my dearest friends. Thanks Jonah.
When Jonah left Watercrest in Katy he was truly missed.

My review is based on our experiences with our sales counselor, Jonah Frank, at Watercrest Katy... I visited Watercrest Katy with my senior adult parents. From our first visit, Jonah made my parents feel at ease with his positivity and personal touch. His knowledge of the property, amenities and residents is impressive. Jonah also impressed me with his follow up- emailing to touch base (never pushy, just friendly) and genuinely caring for our family. Admittedly, we generally have more questions then the usual prospects, but Jonah never made us feel like we were burdening him. His responses were always prompt and helpful. Ultimately, Jonah is the reason my parents feel confident in moving into Watercrest; they trust him. I am so grateful for his personalized assistance during this process!

My sister and I visited Watercrest at Katy to see if it might be an option for our parents for independent living. We were very skeptical about them being able to feel comfortable moving to a facility like this but after visiting with Jonah for several hours, touring the facility, meeting some of the residents and checking out some of the apartments, we were practically ready to move in ourselves. All of the residents seemed so happy and the amenities and number of activities they plan for these folks is amazing. The staff was incredible too and the residents treated them like family. We can't wait to take our parents there for their tour.
