The Gardens of Waterford

Alden at Waterford is a beautiful place, and they care about their residents. The staff has been wonderful to help both of my parents transistion during a very difficult time. I have seen my dad improve tremendously since the being at Alden and receiving additional physical therapy. The food is delicious and very accomodating for any special needs. They not only have been welcoming to my parents, but also to our family. As a family we have been very pleased with Alden.

Well, I think that the staff is kind and considerate and there for my Mom. I rate them pretty high as far as retirement homes go.

Memory Care & Assisted living are very nice.

My mother and I have been very pleased with The Gardens of Waterford. They are very welcoming and really made my mother feel right at home. It is a very nice place with excellent friendly helpful staff. I highly recommend them.

They've done a great job overall at Gardens of Waterford! I have no complaints whatsoever about the service they provide. The employees are compassionate and caring and they do an excellent job looking after the residents. The facility itself is beautiful,

It's still new, and we are in the independent side, so there is a lot still to be seen. So far we are satisfied with them. It's a clean place, and the people are friendly. We don't use any services and haven't checked out any activities yet.

My father has lived at Alden of Waterford for several months. Their staff is very knowledgeable and caring in providing the needed care for Senior Citizens. The management and staff create a very good atmosphere and offer numerous activities relating to individual preferences. I appreciate that my father is very well taken care in his daily needs and how the staff relates to him personally.

I met with Ruth Lange and had a lovely discussion of the senior living opportunities offered in the 33 duplex brick housing units. I was interested to hear the benefits of choosing a buy-in arrangement with a return on the investment at vacating and the services provided with that along with a monthly cost. The single available unit was was pretty spacious, including a full range of apian Kitchen appliances and attractive, however, I was A bit put off by all the extra costs from utilities to dining costs in the main building to $5 to $10 transportation to appointments. I came away thinking that I currently have the same or better situation where I currently reside (own my home in a 55+ services provided community with some activities but no meals or continuity of care.

They do everything very well. The staff is courteous and professional, and they take really good care of my mom. Everyone that I have come in contact with has been super easy and friendly to deal with. It's been a really good experience, and I would very highly recommend The Gardens of Waterford to anyone who is looking for an assisted living facility for their parents.

5 stars in all categories. We're very happy with our choice.

I love living here at Alden Horizon the independent apartment building. have made a lot of good friends, I have joined the activity committee and we are adding a lot of different activities. there is something every day I am doing playing cards, dominoes, or bingo.

We did a lot of shopping around and asked a lot of questions, but when we visited this community we were really impressed with the staff and with the restaurant. The restaurant is a 5 star restaurant the food, waitresses and waiters are excellent.Overall we are very happy and feel we made the right choice.

lOVED THE INDEPENT LIVING BUILDING! I WOULD MOVE IN NOW BUT THERE IS A WAITING LIST TO GET IN.

I like Alden Horizion at Waterford & the possibility of lower rent in future. Every thing else is Great. We are on the wait list. I have lived in Mongomery,so I know the area. So much avilable here for the money. I love it. Mom thinks it's too far from family in St Charles, because she is not familar with area. We are waiting for a call!

private pay ? campus has nursing center.

we visited here. I would have loved to have chosen this place but don't know if it's medicaid acceptable.

Beautiful facilities. Several options.

Nice - Have 2 bed villas and 4 levels of living

Mom would probably have to move to Alden Estates of Naperville if she were to go on Medicaid. Alden Estates of Naperville is 2-star rated. Alden of Waterford rehab center, the nursing and rehab facility next door to Alden Courts, is also 2-star rated. The nursing facility is a different building than Alden Courts, but is connected via underground walkway. 4/23/2010 The 2-star rating is for the nursing and rehab center, NOT Alden Courts. Apparently one of the defects at the nursing and rehab center had to do with too many carrots in the mixed vegetables! Alden Courts apparently received no defects when surveyed earlier this year. However, still not a good option because of the possibility Mom would have to be moved in the future. Decided to tour this facility anyway since Mom could possibly be moved to the adjacent building. Best option would be Alden of Naperville in the event she goes on Medicaid, but my feeling is that with her limited mobility the neighboring building might be suitable. Asked the director about this on 5/10 -- would need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis as to whether Alden of Waterford nursing and rehab would be suitable. Toured the facility today -- Alden Courts is a beautiful facility comparable to Brighton Gardens of Wheaton. They have three distinct levels of care specifically for dementia patients -- in fact the entire building is dedicated to dementia patients. Each care level is in its own "neighborhood", each of which contains a maximum of 22 residents. Each has separate dining facilities. A "sunset room" containing skyights and white lights is also provided to minimize "sunset syndrome" common in dementia patients. Semi-private and private rooms are both very nice -- have furniture provided but will accept additional furniture provided by the residents. Each room as a private baths which is left open, and covered by a curtain rather than a door, to encourage residents to use the bathroom. Big downside, however -- if Mom qualifies for Medicaid she would need to be mcved to Alden Estates of Naperville -- Alden of Waterford nursing home does not take dementia patients for long-term care. Better option than Brighton Gardens, however, in that it is another Alden facility that routinely takes, and gives preference to, Medicaid patients previouly resident in another Non-Medicaid Alden facility. $5,000 semi-private, $6,000 private, plus one-time community fee and additional monthly medication administration fee. Catholic services provided every Sunday. Family can either provide own incontinece supplies, or the facility can order them and bill us depending on quantity purchased.
