About Waterford Oaks Senior Care East

Waterford Oaks Senior Care is an assisted living and memory care community in Waterford, Michigan. The facility offers personalized, round-the-clock care for seniors requiring assistance with daily activities such as meals, laundry, bathing, housekeeping, and medication management.

The community provides three levels of care: assisted living with 24-hour support for those needing help with daily tasks; specialized memory care in the West building designed for residents with Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease, featuring door monitoring, alarm systems, and enhanced supervision; and independent living for seniors seeking freedom with on-site services available as needed.

Waterford Oaks is a fully licensed adult foster care facility that exceeds Michigan's state requirements. The community intentionally maintains small resident populations of approximately 20 per facility, allowing staff to provide personalized attention. All staff members meet state-mandated standards and the facility's own high-level requirements.

The community emphasizes quality dining, with an on-site chef preparing fresh, nutritious meals served three times daily in a dining room that serves as a social gathering space.

We had a positive, supportive, and accommodating experience with this facility, staff and management during my fathers last few months. This place is a great for someone who needs to be at a smaller, non-corporate facility and needs possible extra attention and company. We looked at several places and choice this place for many reasons.

My father was here for 3 months in hospice and had a caring and attentive staff. Briana went above and beyond to keep my dad comfortable, laughing and peaceful in his last days.
