When it comes to the cleanliness, the laundry rooms need a lot of help but everything else is very clean). For the activities they could do more arts and crafts or activities besides bingo and going to the casino. The value for cost is a 5 because overall it's a good experience and after pricing other places, this exceeds most in the area. Yes, of course I would recommend this community to other families. Nothing is perfect and I think they do a very good job of trying to please all the diverse needs of their tenants.... Read more

My tour of this facility went very well. It is a very nice community, from what I saw everything is well maintained. The staff was nice and informative during the tour. The food is great, they offered us a meal. My mother just wanted a community with more activities offered. Overall it was a pleasant tour.

A Perfect place for my mom and me since its close to my office. Really nice 1 bedroom unit with a balcony and beautiful dinning room and grounds. Lots of friendly employees and the residents seem happy and well cared for. A little pricey but it's worth it. Liked the fact that they allow pets and are month to month leasing without a huge buy-in.

Waterford Terrace is great. Mom has only been there two weeks, but likes it. The Staff and Mgt. are excellent. It is a retirement or independent living place. Like an Apartment building for old people with food and activities. No doctors or nurses. Most of the residents are fairly independent and agile....happy folks.

The grounds at Waterford Terrace are well cared for and maintained quite nice. The management and staff are all very nice people. The price could be more reasonable but you get what you pay for, although I do think they could offer a little more. They offer nice activities but mom doesn't participate. They could do better on house cleaning. The staff need to be more thorough, they do very little dusting. They have now implemented a room service fee come September 1st and I think the price seems outrageous. Overall I am pleased but I do think they could do a little better especially for the prices.

September 24, 2015Thanks for your review and taking the time to provide feedback. Since our community is all-inclusive, the price may be higher than other places, but everything is included in your rent. Our residents enjoy 3 chef-prepared meals daily, wellness and fitness program, transportation, on-call maintenance, weekly housekeeping and more! We hope you will come back again, enjoy lunch and experience firsthand the many amenities our community has to offer.
It has been great. The Waterford Terrace is excellent. My father is very happy here. Everyone has a positive attitude. This facility runs very smoothly. The food is excellent. I would highly recommend this assisted living community. This has been a great experience.

I found this community set up with a plan to meet all planable needs of growing people.This facility is large, very charming and beautiful. I like the mix of senior living, assisted living and memory care that is also open to keeping married couples together through the challenges of each growing sick/old at their own pace and still together. This was my favorite between the two due to my parents perceived needs.

It was very nice, and I liked everything, but it was very big and spread out, and I thought it would have been a long walk for her to get around. They also seemed to be a little younger mix of people, and they seemed to have a lot of things going on. Every room was a different price, they were all a different shape and square footage.

February 5, 2015While Waterford Terrace Community is a fairly large community, it has an intimate feeling once you are inside. Our communal areas, including Dining Room, TV Room, Activity Room and Hair Salon, are all centrally located, and can be accessed by both elevator and stairs. Also, we have live-in Managers available 24/7 should any need arise. Residents definitely vary in age, and interests, and this diversity is beneficial for our new residents. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, please let us know. We are hear to help!
Facilities dated, did not feel right for our purposes, but may be good for others.
