Very clean, very nice people, and the food smelled great. Would recommend for any senior looking for a place to be around their peers while having fun, and a very nice apartment to look forward to!

Brett “BUGZ” Thomas

I was very impressed by how I was greeted by the staff upon my arrival. They had a welcome board with my name on it and they treated me with kindness. The facility was beautiful. I noticed that the areas such as the game room and dining areas were open with no doors restricting residents from entering. That was important to me as my mother has mobility issues. So opening doors is a challenge. Plus, that shows that residents are welcome anywhere without restrictions.

Virginia Pennington

My mom was at Independent Village of Waterford for 30 day respite care. The center took care of all my mom 's needs. Many options of social engagement provided for the residents. All the staff were great. My mom and me would recommend the center 100%.

Pat

All three ladies were professional and personable and my family instantly felt we chose the right place for our father.
