I want to thank the incredible team at Watermark at the Pearl for the outstanding care and support they’ve shown my mom since she moved in. When she needed immediate medical attention, the team went above and beyond to help. I called for an ambulance and informed the concierge, who quickly handed me the AED before I even had to ask. As I rushed back to her room, Michael Farrell, the Associate Executive Director, noticed my concern, opened the stairwell, and literally ran five flights with me to ensure I got back so to her so my mom received prompt care. If you’re looking for a professional and compassionate community that prioritizes safety and helps residents thrive, I highly recommend Watermark at the Pearl. Their dedication and quick response made a difficult moment much easier for our family.

The Watermark at the Pearl is a beautiful facility. We were very impressed with the floor plans. The only downside for us is that there's only one two-bedroom unit left, and we won't be moving until September 2026. Annie was a great tour guide: knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and a wonderful representative of the facility. If you're looking for a senior retirement community, you would do well to check it out.

Our family has benefited immensely from contacting and visiting with Anne Whitlock, who has connected with each of us on a deep personal level. We are truly indebted to her and other staff at Watermark for introducing us to this excellent facility. We intend to join there soon because it's definitely the finest of its kind that we've found in our extensive exploration of such independent living in many areas of the U.S. This means not only Portland, where we now reside, but in other states like AZ. as well. The earnest attention and consideration given from Anne have been incomparable. She even sent us the gift of a blanket when the heating in our current building broke down. Thank you! Dennis and Sharron Dalton

My family member lives at The Watermark at the Pearl, and we’ve had such a positive experience. The staff is kind, loving, and friendly. In particular, we have had interactions with both permanent staff and agency staff, and both have been knowledgeable and engaged. We’ve interacted with the Executive Director on several occasions, and she is warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and takes immediate action to resolve any concerns or questions we have had. Staff turnover has been a concern; however, in my experience, this is sadly a normal part of modern business. My family and I would recommend The Watermark at the Pearl to anyone looking for a gorgeous community with staff that truly care.
