Review for The Waterford at Creekside

Not exactly they have had two turnovers nurses have the widest attitudes I have ever encountered in my 76 yrs of age. Had to really have a fit to find out why they were not asking me for refills on medication. My sister is 100 percent disabled so the veterans take care of her meds drs this place looked great my sister said they have good food but she's not aware behind the scenes. It's an assisted living facility not nursing home it's memory care and when I addressed the meds nurse said every prescription was prn they are memory care how can they say prn. Everything is either a liability and nonono having issues with guard rails on hospital bed not allowed so now looking at haleo grab bars. Believe me it's a challenge trying to keep my sister taken care of. I'm very disappointed I was told care takers are not trained just hired and probably worked at gas station last week. Everyone has a bad bad attitude unbelievable to our seniors who deserve better

Some things to explore

Too many residents per worker, especially for the care needed in this particular setting. We were told there would always be at least 2 and sometimes 3 workers. We rarely have had even 2. Also we were told residents would be checked on every 1-2 hrs. This has not happened. Just several things that were presented and have not been played out as such. Not All the workers fault, but certainly more can be done. Several workers are very kind and are genuine in what they do. We have been a disappointed to say the least. Turn over in some staff right after we began this journey here. The new administrator seems very nice and striving for betterment, I do believe. As with most of these care facilities...not enough workers. Especially ones that really care. Sad at where we are in patient care these days.

Review for The Waterford at Creekside

Typical nursing home . Staff that work with the patients, are under payed. Quality of care is low, due to the quality of people they hire. The owners of nursing homes, are making a killing, and providing very low quality care. Diapers are not changed regularly, and place is understaffed most days. I'm just glad my loved one, doesn't realize much anymore.

Waterford had more availability in their higher functioning areas whereas inspiritas did not have an opening until mid-December. [name removed] is still fairly independent when it comes to taking care of herself so we wanted similar capability in her living area.

I am looking at Memory Cares for my father in law. I know we will need to move him into a safer environment soon. [name removed] listened to our needs and was informative. I love the home like environment. Also, I was impressed with the interaction with the residents. I have placed my father in law on a waiting list for Cottage 6.

Dining with the stars!

Tell those you love about this location if you are considering placement I highly recommend allowing your family to be a part of their family they will very much feel at home Food here is great- no worries about variety or repetition! My mom eats same breakfast every day for years and here she is given the same option ! I don’t have to worry but for those who like a variety they have that too! It’s just like being at home!

Review for The Waterford at Creekside

It was the best place, we could afford .Typical nursing home environment. Dont bother asking anyone any questions, because you will never get an answer or call back.I would recommend Waterford because I've come to realize their all alike. Dont think anything will get better until more staff are hired and staff are payed better. Better management of dirty laundry would help alot with the smell.

friendly staff members, would recommend for memory care, a good fit

All of the staff at The Waterford at Creekside are very courteous and friendly. The rooms are small but I would say that they are the perfect size for memory care residents. I would recommend The Waterford for other families looking for a memory care facility.

Amazing Tour

The Waterford at Creekside is a beautiful and peaceful memory care. The time and attention given to me and my family during our tour was exceptional. I was impressed with the cozy cottage set up. My father had Alzheimer’s and was needing placement. He passed away before we were able to move forward with the move in. The community reached out and sent a really sweet card.
