The best people at Watermere are the sales people. They know how to sell the product well. But,…read moreonce you move in, you find out that a lot of it is window dressing. The apartments are nice, but the maintenance is lacking. Once you get there, you find out that most of the residents do not eat at Watermere. They go to the restaurants surrounding it. One of the reasons my father wanted to go to an independent living place was because he was tired of eating alone, so he found this disappointing. But, once you eat the food, you understand why most residents don't eat there. It is terrible, and they charge the residents high cost for the subpar food. They recently went to a flat fee for the meal. They often run out of something, but you are charged for the item in the large fee even though they ran out of something. I think the manager should be forced to eat it every day, maybe it would improve. There also seems to be turnover in upper management. They seem like they want to fix the issues but their hands are tied. This place has such potential but it just seems poorly managed. It's not cheap, so where is all of the money going?

My dad was in this facility for a few weeks. I went to visit before Christmas with my grandma, my…read morebrother, and my brother's family. Everyone we encountered was friendly and caring with the patients and visitors. The kitchen staff treated my family like special guests; they made an exception on a Sunday and made meals for us to enjoy with my dad during his lunch time, since we were visiting out of state. They made sure we were well taken care of and were so caring with my dad. All of the nurses we encountered were amazing and patient. My dad's speech therapist was reviewed by my stepmom as the BEST therapist that my dad has had in the 15 months that he has been in a hospital environment. You can tell the staff here really cares about the patients, at least the ones I encountered. Walking down the hall with my dad, he was stopped by doctors and nurses that treated him like a celebrity. It was heartwarming to see. I feel like he was really taken care of here.

They took very good care of my elderly father . Really loved his RN Nicole (thank you, Nicole!).read more

ReNova changed my life! Here is my story:…read more 1. I tried AA, overall it was kinda cult like. I would not recommend it, especially if you are female. Women are constantly hit on, and NO person should have their boundaries compromised while trying to better themselves. More than half of the people that were in it with me have had multiple relapses, or they are no longer attending meetings. 2. In/Out-Patient: For starters, I know a lot of people that have gone to rehab, from family to friends of friends. Like with AA most of them have relapsed and have had multiple stays (40-60% relapse, 30% of people that go to rehab go again). I called a facility that offered out-patient (losing my job and spending 30-60 days away from my family were not options) and was yelled at with the person specifically stating that I "will not survive in real world if I do not do a 30-60 day detox". Umm..what? Why offer out-patient if you are only going to push in-patient and shame a stranger you have spoken to for less than five minutes?? I also believe that rehab facilities are more interested in making $$ based on research/what I have experienced. **I know there are some people that have experienced sobriety and sustained it with these programs, which I think is amazing and they should be proud of their accomplishment. However, stats clearly show that the traditional methods are not working for A LOT of people. 3. Third time was a charm with ReNova, and I am beyond grateful I have the ability to partake in the program! My first session with Mike was an assessment to see if the program would help me, and he was nothing but warm, inviting, and not judgmental in the slightest (nor has he ever been). There are two programs, one that is alcohol moderation and one is sobriety (I chose moderation). Mike works around your schedule, and while you do have to dedicate some time in the first part of the program, you're not putting your life on hold or making major sacrifices- i.e. you can attend sessions in the evening that won't put your job at risk, aren't spending a month or two away from your family/friends, and you bring your real life everyday stressors/triggers to your sessions and Mike gives you tools/coping mechanisms to work through those stressors so you don't resort to unhealthy coping mechanisms. After reading the book I was skeptical because it goes completely against what society says is the way to treat alcohol issues, but it is also why it works! You dive deep and address every contributing factor which is basically how our brain as the organ it is functions/responds to alcohol, not a character flaw or weakness as a person. Similar to a person with diabetes that can't help that their organs/cells don't function properly causing them to have issues with insulin production. I have almost completed the 12-week intensive part, and my life has completely changed. I no longer crave alcohol; when I do drink I drink waaay less than I used to and am well, "normal". My anxiety/depression is the most managed it has been for YEARS, my body feels healthier, and my friends/family say I am overall a happier person. The statistics show that what is being commonly practiced isn't working. I really hope the ReNova Institute programs become more widespread, it can help so many people struggling with alcohol.

Positives: comfy bed, own room, own TV in room, fairly comfortable detox…read more Negatives: Scaring away someone in the midst of detoxing who had zero desire of leaving the facility in the first place - that's a first for me. I had zero intention of leaving. Here's what I did wrong. I snuck in some comfort meds. Why? Because I am an addict. I have trust issues and a bad past with a detox facility. I felt like shit for doing it, and I never ended up using anything I had. I won't rationalize any further. I know it was wrong and I felt horrible. I was extremely ashamed when I was caught; balled my eyes out... the whole 9 yards. The next morning I wake up startled, to 3 women at the foot of my bed doing the "tough guy" act while in the midst of detox. I had zero intention of leaving. Eventually, I couldn't take it, and I said alright I'm out. Deuces. They didn't even try to talk me out of it. Who knows? Maybe my insurance ran out and that was the way to get me to go (just kidding..) PS - I've been to a 20-30 detoxes with zero intent of getting clean. This was my first where I was actually proud of myself for completing my detox (5 days in without wanting to leave). Moral of the story? Not everyone needs the tough guy act. Some people are so down and out they just need compassion and honesty. Not some bull$hit tough guy act telling me over and over that I'm going to die and my daughter will not have a mother. We can be real without being intimidating. We can have real conversations without adding the theatrics. I would have appreciated that.

This is the first time I ever sought help for my addictions and now I feel like I should have done this years ago. The staff there are fantastic and I met some amazing people in the program.

My self-confidence, physical, and mental health is the best it's been in many years. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything and I hope to keep in touch with my groupmates for a long time.
