October 22, 2024Thank you for the lovely review!! We are so honored to be able to support your needs and offer a warm and loving home for you two.
My son found the Waterford for me to spend the rest of my life. Came from Shelby WI to be close to his family ( 5 minutes from his home) I enjoy it very much. It is clean and friendly of staff and residents. Back of building land needs clean up.

October 15, 2024Thank you for the lovely 5-star review!! We appreciate your feedback and have plans to do some landscaping on the north side of the building in the coming weeks.
I have lived here for 8 1/2 years and has met many really good friends. The staff here are all very friendly and nice people! I do feel they could do a much better job of cleaning all the hallways!

October 21, 2024Thank you for the 5-Star review June! We appreciate your feedback and are happy you are a part of The Waterford family!
I moved back to the Madison area where I'm originally from, about 8 years ago and looked at various options. I've been pleasure with my decision to live at the Waterford. Staff is very pleasant and helpful. While in independent I don't use the care provider but they seem to be very good.

October 21, 2024Thank you for the 5-Star review Sue! We are so happy to have you as a part of our Waterford family!
I came to the Waterford community physical challenged and needing care. I was met with a level of professionalism that was outstanding. The experience I want to emphasize is that I was embraced and welcomed that was healing and genuine. The staff helped me with my food allergies for my meals and continued to order foods to help with new treats and nutrition that was a delight. I have made life long friends here with staff and residents. A wonderful community.

September 13, 2024Darci, Thank you for the kind words - it was our absolute pleasure to support you during your healing! We will always consider you part of the Waterford at Fitchburg family!
Probably better than most but enhanced care packages promise more than delivered. Advantage is that you can stay in the same unit as you need more care but don't rely on the staff to provide that care. Also units are quite nice but not designed for elderly

September 19, 2024Hello and thank you for letting us know about your experience. I am so sorry to hear that you are less than 100% satisfied with the services provided to your loved one. I would love the opportunity to correct the issues. If you would consider reaching out to me directly, I promise I will work with my team to earn a 5 star review!

May 22, 2024Thank you for your review! We are honored you call The Waterford home!
I researched various senior communities in southern Wisconsin when I decided to sell my home of almost 40 years. I made two trips here and narrowed my decision down to The Waterford and one other place. I chose The Waterford and have never questioned my decision. The people, both staff and residents, have been very friendly and welcoming. I have made lots of new friends and everybody seems to be happy living here. My kids are happy that they don't have to worry about me like they did when I was in my almost 100 year old house. I'm busier now than I have been since I retired. There are various activities every day and a bus that takes residents to medical appointments and different stores and restaurants. I downsized to a living space that is half of what I used to have in my house, but I feel that I have plenty of room here at The Waterford. The food is good, I have a nice balcony and views from my apartment windows, and get to park in a heated garage. My cat and I are very happy!

December 19, 2023Judy, We are thrilled to hear that you are so happy at The Waterford at Fitchburg! Thank you for the lovely review!!
My husband and I have lived here for five years and are supremely happy with what's offered. We are independent and do our own meals but have our own bus service to where we need to go. The staff is incredibly happy and helpful and activities are many, but we all are free to do as much or as little as we want. The best feture is we can remain together when our health fails as need assistance. Come and see us.

Waterford is a good place to spend your "golden" years. Staff and residents are very friendly and kind. Activities are wonderful, both inside and out. Bus trips and programs are frequent. If you still drive, the underground parking is great! Physical therapy is in-house as well as assisted living.

I found everyone at Waterford to be excellent in their respective roles. Everyone was so friendly and professional. This included administration, social services, front desk, food service, nursing, CNAs, and housekeeping. Just a well run place from soup to nuts. My Mother enjoyed her time there greatly as both an independent and assisted living resident. I highly recommend Waterford.

I have lived at the waterford as an independent resident for a year & 7 months. There is a true community spirit. Each resident is treated as a family member. The amenities are excellent. I would highly recommend the waterford as a safe, caring, and "fun" senior community.
