Very pleased with Garden Place Waterloo

We are very pleased with the caring people, quality meals, and facilities at Garden Place Waterloo. The staff is very responsive and friendly, and takes the time to make sure my mother is content. The kitchen staff makes extra effort to ensure the residents receive their special meals as requested. And the management is receptive to all our questions. They offer many activities and special events which are appreciated. Garden Place clearly does an exceptional job screening their workers to get the best people. We

Mother is resident

Staff seem to be on top of when my Mother is having a health crisis. She seems to listen to the staff better than my siblings and I hitting our heads against the wall trying to do what the Doctor has prescribed. She is difficult and I appreciate everything the staff do.

Fantastic place

I love this place Garden Place in Waterloo. It is a fantastic place and everyone here loves it also. I have made many friends and participate in most of their activities like the bounce ball exercises, yoga, regular chair exercise, crafts, holiday events, bingo, and trips around. They provide three meals a day with variety of options. They have a nice apartment to live in and the facility has all the privacy you could ask for. How much more could a resident ask for?
