It's been a top notch first rate experience

Rating is 5 stars based on the experience so far which about 7 months. My mom did try the food which she said was delicious. Every request my mom has made about the cottage has been responded to quickly and taken care of. Although my mom had not participated in any activities, she gets a monthly schedule and email invites/reminders go out constantly.

This is a nice facility for people interested in independent living since its primary attraction is the cottages scattered around the area. Each separate building offers a home for people used to living in stand alone houses. This means a continuation of having a house to take care of. If people want a more communal lifestyle, then there is a large apartment like structure that is very suited to assisted living. That building is the main activity point of the community. To reach it from one of the cottages requires

The Lakes and Superior at Waterford review

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. The staff is very pleasant and always responsive to the needs of residents. Any concerns are immediately addressed. [name removed] is an excellent Property Man
