I am officially moving into Waterford. Can't meet nicer people. I love working with them designing my home and they already feel like family to me. I am thankful.

I’m giving this place a 2 only because there are a few nice people working here - primarily the folks that bring the food and assist with getting people dressed. My mother was here for about 5 weeks for rehab and it was overall less than stellar. They lie about progress with therapy telling us she needs to be here longer where we clearly saw the difference. Easy bed to make money from I guess. Half of the clothes we brought for her went missing as did her glasses. Planning discharge was horrible and communication with our family didn’t happen unless we made calls or insisted on meetings. In my opinion, go somewhere else.

My Mom lives in The Waterford and she absolutely loves it! The people are great, the food is awesome (her words) -- especially the salmon, it's outstanding! It's a warm and inviting environment. And the property is beautiful and has everything easily accessible. And it's less than a mile away from the ocean -- boats and water galore!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tara (Shiantaurah) and the incredible support she provided while helping me complete a Medicaid application for my mother. From the very beginning, Tara was patient, calm and truly accommodating. Navigating a Medicaid application while my mother is in rehab, and potentially transitioning to long-term care, felt overwhelming, but Tara immediately put me at ease. She took the time to walk me through every section of the application step-by-step, ensuring I fully understood what was needed and why. Her knowledge and expertise were evident throughout the entire process. She is clearly well educated in both the technical details of the forms and the broader Medicaid process. It was reassuring to work with someone who not only understands the paperwork, but also has relevant background and practical experience in how the system works. What’s stood out most was her genuine willingness to help. She was more than happy to assist, never rushed the conversation, and made herself available when clarification was needed. Her professionalism combined with her compassion made a stressful situation much more manageable for our family. Tara is an exceptional billing specialist and an invaluable resource to both patients and their families. I am deeply grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her.

When I needed care after a hospital visit in May 2024 and after surgery in October 2024, the Waterford Medical Center provided premium care! I found the entire staff to be highly trained, professional, friendly and most importantly compassionate. My recovery was greatly helped by the skill and care I received from the PT and OT department. While the Health Center is undergoing a total renovation, wing by wing, it never interfered with the daily life and activities provided for the patients. Wait until you see the attention to detail and beautiful new private and semi-private patient rooms. This is definitely a 5 Star facility!
