Response from Waterford at College View
April 29, 2023Thank you for your kind words. We love what we do.
The rooms are extremely small. Cleaning isn't the best. They do need to clean the bathrooms more often. And I think they could use at least one more member on staff. They don't communicate the best. I came in one day to visit my loved one and saw him on a stretcher ready to go on the ambulance, and I didn't know anything about it. I had talked to them about 2-3 times earlier that day and asked them what was going to happen. They didn't even tell me they were going to take him anywhere. So I didn't know what was going on until almost after it happened. They do try. They just have more than they can handle as far as I can see. The director a lot of times is out because she has to attend to other communities in the group as well. They did provide a mattress and let us borrow a dresser, so we didn't have to buy those. And the cost was good.

We chose Waterford at College View because of the proximity as well as the value for the money, they are also a pet friendly facility. The room sizes here are sufficient, they are not super big but you are able to fit things in there. When the meals were being delivered, it was made off premise so they were cold and the meals were not seasoned. I think the overall friendliness of the place is good, but it was kind of hard to tell because of covid, I was never allowed to go inside and really get to know people. I would definitely recommend to others looking.

Based on our tour, this was a great place, but very expensive. It was absolutely beautiful, and it would have been an option had we had the financing available.
If only I could give zero stars. This place has been a nightmare. I can only recommend that people stay away. It is the administrators, directors, and owner that deserve the low rating. Save yourself from grief, anxiety, stress, fear and frustration by not putting your Mom at The Waterford.

Older of the 2' Waterford facilities, but well staffed with stable trained personnel. Facility is nice and secure.

September 11, 2017Thank you for taking the time to share a review about the Waterford at College View. We are always excited when visitors can share their experiences with others who may come and tour our community. Our College View location is a bit older, but we are constantly updating our campus to provide a warm, homelike atmosphere for our residents,
We like the care that my mom is getting here . The community is always clean and taken care. The meals are appealing. They have alot of nice activities that are offered and she is always active and participating with the other residents. We are glad to know that she is getting excellent care for a great value.

April 12, 2017It is great to know that you feel your mom is being well taken care of. We go to great lengths to make sure our residents know they are safe, respected and loved. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are truly thankful to have the opportunity to care for your mom.
My tour of the Waterford at College View went well, the place was very nice and clean. The staff member that took me around was very nice and knowledgeable. They did not offer me any of the meals. The reason I did not choose this community was because it was too much on the edge of town for me.

April 12, 2017Thank you so much for taking time to visit our community. We pride ourselves on providing great customer service, so we are happy that your interaction with our staff was a pleasant one. We truly hope that you were able to find a community that was closer to where you wanted to live. Thanks again for taking the time to let us know about your experience.
I had a scheduled tour of this community and when I had arrived for my appointment and rang the doorbell no one ever came to the door or let me in. I sat there for about five minutes and then decided to leave, it seemed very disorganized and my first not impression of the facility was not a good one.

April 12, 2017We sincerely apologize for your bad experience and certainly understand the importance of making a good first impression. It is our intention to always provide the best service to our residents and to their guests. We are a secured facility, so it is possible that our visitors may wait for a short period of time while we are helping our residents. I do believe that if you had the opportunity to tour the facility you would have seen that our staff to resident ratio is actually one of the best in our industry. Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience, honest feedback helps us know the areas that we can improve upon.
I enjoy visiting with my mother at this center. She seems to be happy and well cared for. The staff are excellent and are very kind to my mother, they are always saying this is their home and we are all family. I love Mary Kay, and the way she is always there to listen and is so caring of your feelings. She is such a great asset to your center. There are too many girls to name so I will say someone did an excellent job on hiring such excellent staff! Keep up the good work...

March 31, 2016Thank you for your heart felt comments. Mary K. is a big part of making College View feel like family. Thank you for your confidence in our team in caring for your mom.
This was the best place we looked at from my sister and so far we like it. It is a very clean and nice looking community. I've an issue with the staff in regarding the fact my sister got the code to leave the community when I don't feel comfortable with her leaving with out someone with her, but that falls into the fact I need to make sure she is in the memory care part of the facility that is where she needs to be. I really impressed with the communication from the staff they have called me with any situation they have had with my sister and she can be difficult to handle at time. My sister does look a lot better since moving here and she feel like she is improving more. I would recommend this community it is a nice clean place.

January 22, 2016Thank you for your review. Eric does a great job of making sure our families are informed and involved when changes occur in the health status of one of our residents. I'm glad your mom was able to receive the care she needed. We place a high level of importance in the services we provide through our team. Thank you!
From what my significant other told me they were very friendly and went above and beyond and would very highly recommend them. It only needed a little maintenance on the outside, like painting and such. It was great experience.

So far things are going well. While I was there visiting I tried the food and it was wonderful. The director Eric Haider was very prompt and helpful, and is one of the things that really stands out about The Waterford.

January 21, 2016Thank you for your review. The Waterford Communities Assisted Living & Memory Care is locally owned and operated. We have a great team to give the best possible care for our residents and their families. Thank you!
The premises are clean and appear to be maintained. Lots of porches and patios for the residents to enjoy. The building has a number touch pad for entry and exit which helps with residents who have a tendency to wander. Staff are caring and helpful to resident and family. The only negative I have seen so far is the size of the rooms. They are quite small making it very difficult to include personal furniture and decorations. Have utilized this facility for a shot period of time so will see how things go.

January 21, 2016Thank you for your review. We have a great team and we aim to make this feel like home, as far as possible, for our residents and their families. Our highest priority is their safety. Though it would be difficult to change the room size, it is intentional. We want residents to be together in our gathering areas and participating in activities, not in their apartment in front of a TV the whole time. Thank you.
Overall they did pretty well. In the common areas it's very clean, in the private areas sometimes they aren't able to keep up with the cleaning as quickly as I would like. They did offer some entertainment, they had bingo, and played games and things. There were no complaints about the meals. We chose them because they seemed very compassionate, and seemed to be driven more by, their patience rather than their bottom line. They were competitively priced, and it was a nice new clean building. Their company had just won, best employer for small businesses, in the city of Lincoln, rated by their employees.
