Care services do not apply as we are in an independent living duplex and we have not yet dined on the campus. Due to Covid concerns, the dining room opened to independent living guests last week. We are very pleased with our Superior/Lakes duplex on the Alden of Waterford campus. The staff is very pleasant and always responsive to pleasant and accommodating.
