We've utilized The Waterford for respite stays, and we loved it. We would have put my loved one there long-term except they don't have memory care. Even though the building is old, the people were so nice. The care was great. And the food was good.

I think the staff is great. They love my mom and are super attentive and kind. I know it's hard to mass feed healthy food- she doesn't think the food is bad- I just feel like more fresh food is important. I am personally not a fan of Ensure and those types of chemically created food.
