I visited a friend at Waterford Terrace Retirement Community. She gave me a tour, and she was pretty thorough. It was very close to where I live now. I liked it. I did eat lunch there. I had some kind of fish. I think it was white bass. They have a nice menu, and they have a lot of choices. The rooms were all different. It was amazing to me how many different floor plans there were. They have a lot of activities, and the people seemed to attend. When I was there that day, I was surprised at how many people were attending different activities. They all seemed pretty happy. They were smiling. They didn't need to smile for me because I was just a guest. It was kind of a plus for them. The staff were all very nice and really friendly. I think I ordered the wrong thing because the fish wasn't all that good, but my friend that lives there said most of the food is better than that. They don't have a pool, and I'm a swimmer. I won't go there because of that.

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. For example, very helpful in getting the phone and 2 TVs up and running. Someone is always available. This is an Independent Living facility, so there is no assistance in personal care. But they're always helpful with other needs. The meals are 3 times a day with snacks available and are adequate. There are many activities available so the residents can be as involved as they choose.

I visited the Waterford Terrace Retirement Community. It was much more of a grand entrance. The entryway was quite grand. It's a three-story building with access to outside gardens. They have rooftop gardens, and there are cottages at the top level. There's more outdoor environment on the top level, but the first two levels were all indoor-like hotel-style apartments. It's a big facility, and it has a huge dining area. Activities are provided. It's an active community there. Food is all included. They also had a couple of food stations that were available throughout the day for the residents to get snacks and things that they want. Then they have their regular dinner and breakfast time slots. Everything is very nice, and it's comforting to know that the residents are happy, and the staff is friendly.

They have a bus that can take you to appointments or outings or scenic drives. Even though the place is a little old, they keep it nice.

I liked Waterford Terrace Retirement Community very much. The tour went great, I like just about everything about it. Some of the residents were milling around, and there was some music program going on. That was very nice. It was very clean, and they have different options to choose from, and I've gone there many times. The lady was great. She was great with answering questions and taking us on the tour and showing us everything. There are some beautiful views from the Waterford Terrace, and they had balconies, which I was kind of looking for. But I was very impressed with the cleanliness and the graciousness of all the different people that we were introduced to. My daughter, my granddaughter, and I all liked it very, very much.
