Doesn't live up to promises
My mom is very capable of taking care of herself still, but she chose to sell her home and move because she wanted more socializing and community. Lockwood did not live up to promises. The food was so poor that very few people ate in the dining room so she wasn't having any socialization at meal time. The bus was broken and they never fixed it so no trips. After a sad year at Lockwood she moved to [community removed] where she has made many friends and enjoys continuous activities.

Very friendly and helpful staff
I wish my father had found Lockwood sooner instead of living on his own for years after mom passed. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Shelbie in leasing worked with us to get dad transfered, always professional, always quick to respond. [name removed] at the front desk always greets with a welcoming smile. This is an active community with a positive social feel. Lots of events and activities available. There is a lovely nature walking path and shopping within walking distance. This community always felt safe and welcoming. Thank you Lockwood!

Good place
I have been at Lockwood since [date removed], 6 years. I do my own cleaning of my apartment, also cook most of my meals. I find the staff are always polite and helpful. I enjoy living here. I do not plan on moving anywhere else.

Great independent living
Lockwood of Waterford is a great place for independent living. The location is close to stores and medical services. As far as meals go, I would like less salt, spices and fried food. I preferred heavier meal at dinner time.

Review for Lockwood of Waterford
It's a cute place, no real need to leave the building if you don't want to other than outside medical appointments. We picked this community because of the cost, and location to family. Welcoming attitude of the leasing manager.

Overall nice community
Some of the hall carpets look like they could be cleaned. All of the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. They are not receiving care as they are in Independent Living. The meals look good. There are many activities available and seem to be well run. We feel the value for cost is good.

friendly staff would recommend
We cannot rate the meals or dining because our loved one has not bought any meals yet. For the activities our loved one isn't participating due to her inability to get out of the apartment on her own. Staff seems to be extremely caring but we haven't needed to use them for anything yet. Glad there is a hair salon on site.

Not as promised.
My mom is currently not happy at Lockwood. She is talking about looking around. This will be a definite burden on the family members that will need to move her and will be a financial burden for her. They are not maintaining the building. Example she cannot open some of her windows because they stick and they still haven't put the screen on her porch door. She would like to enjoy fresh air. They charge a high price for dinner but make them do grab and goes several times per week. She moved there because she wanted community, yet she is overpaying and eating alone. She wants socialization, but they no longer have many in house events and their bus is seldom in working order, so no field trips. Very disappointing. The existing staff tries hard and they are kind, but they are terribly understaffed. The director only comes in 2 or 3 days per week. My mom tried to voice her concerns but the director just labeled her as a complainer. My mom pays full price and is feeling like she is not getting what she pays for.

Friendly and fun - if you don't need the food
One of the things my mom was looking forward to and probably the biggest disappointment, was that she wanted to be able to meet people.
Because the food is poor, hardly any of the residents are using the meal plan. From speaking with the residents, the food used to be better, but it's now down to very few residents who attend meals. It' not a social event here, like it is at some other places.
My mom is not a picky eater. There are things her not wanting cheese, but them only offering a cheeseburger instead of a hamburger. There's missing silverware at the table and they don't put of cream and sugar out with the coffee. You have to stand there and knock and wait to get sugar and cream. Some of them have trouble cutting food because it's overcooked. My
mom is capable and can do her own cooking. She selected the dinner plan because of the socialization that comes with it. There are people there who needs a little help, and the few she has met who are capable aren't electing the food plan because the food has gone downhill so much.
The place itself is beautiful and everyone we have dealt with there have been nothing but friendly. She was going to bring it up when they have their meeting, but it got cancelled for a legitimate reason.
There was a nice 50's party and she really liked it. She said the food was better at the party, but the directors were there, so maybe when the directors aren't there - the food may not be as good. Most of their activities are in the morning, so she isn't partaking as much because she's a person who sleeps in. I know a lot of senior are up and at it early in the morning. She has enjoyed the activities that are being offered in the evening, like the party. I think it's a good suggestion for them to know that not everyone is an early riser.
This was a big step for my mom, as she was living totally on her own, but she missed seeing and being with people more. Other than the food, she likes her place. They said she's locked into the food plan for a full year. It's disappointing to pay for something for a full year that she doesn't go to very often because she doesn't enjoy the food.

more of a 75 and up community
As for staff, the med team had a couple of lazy girls and a few great ones. Office staff were all very attentive and friendly. However they were short handed and had lots of turnover. I'd say more of at "75 and up community." Only because most of the people there are elderly or incapacitated in one way or another. It is truly not a 55 and up community for the normal active 55 year old. Covid and employees shortages have ravaged all of these assisted living and rehab centers. I've seen that with my own eyes. We can only pray thinks will one day get back to normal and people will want to work and be productive in life again.

Experience was satisfying
We chose Lockwood of Waterford because it was the closest to his house and it was a reasonable price. It was also a temporary 3 month stay and they could provide that for him. He did say that the food was cold when it was delivered and I think they could have increased their portion sizes. There are people who are more active than others, my dad is pretty active as far as conversation and the problem is that assisted living and independent were all bunched into one, so I think it would have helped to split them up especially during social events.

Caveat Emptor
Be careful, most of what they tell you to get into your parent's bank account is untrue. They ask you to give them $100 to hold the apartment for 7 days at which time you are to sign a contract and pick a move in date. This, again, is UNTRUE! Instead they start charging you the day BEFORE the meeting date as opposed to the move in date, and the Manager, [name removed], tries to go through the contract without allowing the tenant to read it. He charged us a "pro-rated" rent for 10 days that my mom would not even be moving in, he makes verbal promises which the Contract states otherwise, like, rent being due on the first, but promises that they won't take it until the 5th, while every time the rent is not paid you are charged a late fee and risk being evicted after 3 months and $75 per month in late fees. They tell you the VA will pay for part of the payments, when the VA states they won't. That is why they want you to pay them and you collect from SS and VA. I'm sorry I met these people.
