Residents and their families say:

Waterford Estates Senior Living receives positive feedback for its beautiful layout, spacious and newly remodeled rooms, cleanliness, and a wide array of activities and amenities. Reviewers appreciate the friendly staff, who are both helpful and informative, contributing to a welcoming environment. The community boasts various types of living spaces, from studios to two-bedroom apartments, equipped with mini appliances and sometimes balconies. Additionally, the community is noted for its engaging activities, including bingo, happy hour, live music events, and various recreational opportunities such as a swimming pool, walking path, and chapel. The dining experience is highlighted as pleasant, with options to order food upon arrival and the flexibility to welcome family members.

However, there are a few areas mentioned for improvement. Some reviewers express concerns about the memory care section, describing it as small and suggesting a need for better management and enhancements. The absentee bus service and unavailability of an exercise class instructor were noted, pointing to areas where the community could enhance its offerings. One reviewer found the apartments less impressive compared to other communities visited, describing them as outdated. Additionally, a specific negative point was raised about the management approach and communication skills in the memory care unit. Despite these areas for improvement, many residents and their families recommend Waterford Estates for its beautiful environment, helpful staff, variety of amenities, and overall quality of care.
