Our family has been blessed to find a home for our mom that is so caring, loving, clean, and supportive. We truly appreciate all of the hard work that goes into running a facility like this. They are one of the best if not, the best places in Springfield!

My mother has been at the Waterford for over a year. It’s been a. Outstanding experience! The staff are compassionate and fun. They have fantastic activities, great menu selections and an overall “we care”environment! I couldn’t be happier with our choice.

Had a wonderful tour. Beautiful place and setting. We were, however, set back at the size of apartments and the minimal kitchen (teeny cheap oven/range) and very small bedroom. No seat in shower and no cabinet space in bathroom. If only the apartment matched the rest of the place! But everyone was very nice and friendly. Kimberly was very helpful.
