About Waterford Estates Retirement Community

from Oasis Senior Advisors

Waterford Estates Retirement Community delivers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care under one roof, allowing residents to adjust levels of support without changing addresses. The community can accommodate residents who wander during the day or night, those at risk for elopement, and individuals who are up all night. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen management, special diets, and all tiers of diabetes care including oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale protocols. Care teams are trained to work with advanced dementia conditions, ensuring behavioral and cognitive changes are managed safely and consistently.

Around-the-clock security and clinical staffing reinforce safety. An RN or LPN is on site, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked employees staff awake night shifts, and doors are alarmed with Wander Guard systems and resident pull-cords that alert staff. Full-assistance help is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer capabilities range from standby guidance to two-person and full Hoyer lift support, including bed-bound care. Residents have on-site access to podiatry services, while an activity director coordinates daily engagement tailored to each person’s abilities.

Apartments vary, but may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, and basic cable; not every unit has every feature, so prospective residents should confirm details during a tour. Independent Living residents receive weekly housekeeping and laundry, while Assisted Living and Memory Care residents have those services incorporated into their care plans.

Dining services provide three daily meals prepared by a professional chef, with optional guest meals and diet modifications managed by nursing and dietary staff. All-day dining is available in a restaurant-style setting, letting residents choose mealtimes that suit their routine.

Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking areas, and a pet-friendly policy—although it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional features are a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for appointments and errands.

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.
