Transforming Age

Waterford Estates is a very nice property, they have a nice outside walking area. I have an apartment and it is perfectly fine for me. At the moment there are no activities due to COVID. I would recommend this community to a family or friend, but it could use a little bit of an update and maintenance

It is affordable. The units are better size than anything that I saw, originally built as condos. My mom likes the food. The layout is good. They have outdoor space for the residents to use. The staff has been amazing during Covid-19. Trying to keep the residents' spirits up.

They cleaned my mom's apartment weekly and changed her bedding. They brought her food in the evening. They had activities but she chose not to participate in many. They had opportunity to have a church service by video. They had an outbreak of the norovirus and due to the chef leaving, they had assistant caregivers preparing and serving the food who weren't trained to it. I feel that cleanliness around food was an issue which I think is why the virus continued to stick around there. The was a lot of staff turnover. The business office has stability issues and I would get billed several times for the same month.

Nice facility in nice area. Apartments with smaller bathroom and kitchen area. Furnace takes up part of bedroom. Not much storage/closet area.

[Name removed] was great. Very laided back. This place has only 1 bedroom units available as well. Big place but the rooms are smaller then the other two places. My parents will have to decide if they ever have a 32 bedroom available.

Most spacious apartment space out of all the tours I've done. Very clean and updated. It seems they constantly renovate. Doing another tour tomorrow with my parents this time.

Right away I saw residents and staff smiling, milling around,busy. I had a good feeling about this place

Unfortunately, while my Father-In-Law was at this facility it was around the time of the fires and because of that a lot of people moved in at once. My loved one is blind and he required a lot more attention than most residents and he felt like he wasn’t getting as much attention as he should. He was just upset about the care and felt like it wasn’t as they advertised. I understand though because there were a lot of new residents and they were shorthanded so it would take longer for them to get to my Father-In-Law. However, I really liked that facility. The community was beautiful and the staff was very nice. The only thing I was unhappy about is when he was sick for three days and the staff waited until it got really bad to bring him to the hospital. I would recommend this facility to other families.

I thought I had already made my decision about where to place my mom and then I toured this community and changed my mind we love it here. Mom is doing very good here she is settling in and being taken care of very well. I feel much better knowing she is here. She is eating on a regular schedule which she wasn't before and she likes the food. The staff is amazing here super helpful and very nice. I would recommend this community.

This community was very nice we liked it.Since it was just recently renovated everything was new and clean very updated. On the tour, the staff was helpful and nice. My husband took time to talk to the residents and any of their family members to get a sense as to how they liked living here and everyone seemed to agree it was a good place. They seem to offer quite a few activities to keep the residents busy.

We had a good tour of this community. Everyone was kind to my family, and I.

My mother is well here in this community.

Didn't meet my needs; too large and I think my mom would get lost. The assisted-living bedrooms were nice and I was impressed by their dining area (2 entree options at meals and very flexible dining hours). Toured the Memory Care secured area, which my mom might eventually need, and that area felt depressing.

Considering the community is far away and it was not as nice looking, this was not the right fit. From the outside it looked like a dungeon but when you got into the building it looked nice. I noticed that it seemed crowded and I was not connecting with the atmosphere.

So far I'am pretty pleased with my move to this community. It is a nice community. I would suggest that they have some type of orientation to the community. Other than that issue everything seems to be working out well. I've met a nice residents that are willing to show me around the community. It is a well-kept community. For the most part they do a good job with the cleanliness. I'am still getting adjusted to the routine around the community, but overall I would recommend this community.

When I toured Heathers Manor, I thought it was very nice. It was much nicer than the independent living building. The reason I did not chose this community was because I was looking for a place that had independent and assisted living in the same building.

AlmaVia was a nice facility, but they were not for what we were looking for. They could accommodate one but not the other. We wanted my aunt and uncle to stay together as of we chose this community they would have to separate them because of their different levels of care.
