Up until today i would highly recommend the Waterford. My mom loved this place but she just passed away this morning and my brother has to get all of her stuff out of her room today. Where is the compassion and sensitivity for our loss? You cant even give him a day or so to grieve?

I visited this facility

Waterford was very nice, clean, bright, and cheerful. The apartments were very nice and they were customized to each resident as they moved in. The staff member who accommodated us during the tour was very friendly and helpful. We ate lunch there a couple of times, and it was very nice. They had a wide range of activities. They had exercises, swimming, crafts and arts, charity events, and they had speakers come in.

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My husband and I visited The Waterford. We arranged for a visit to live there. He wasn't sick then, so we were looking to maybe move there in the assisted living or just rent a condo in there. A lot of people from our church live there, that's why we looked into it. It was very nice, but it was more expensive than we thought it was going to be. You had to pay a good deal of money upfront that I don't think you get back, so we decided not to do it. It's a very beautiful place. My husband was in r…

My mother and I visited seven senior living communities before choosing The Waterford. It was our favorite by far because the residents were so friendly, the activities suited her interests and the staff was kind and helpful. Mom has been a resident for five years now and I still think it was a great choice. I visit 2-3 times per week and find the facilities clean and well cared for, there’s always new and creative activities for residents to enjoy, the staff is great and the Juno Beach area is very nice and conven…

I am/was a resident of this facility

We have been residents of The Waterford for 13+ years. We have found the employees helpful and caring; the food excellent; the residents friendly ; and the professionalism of the Health Center staff outstanding. During the Covid crisis, we have been especially well cared for and our community has had almost no infections. We have never once regretted our decision to make The Waterford our home and encourage anyone who wants to live better longer to join us.

My wife and I have been residents since the first of the year moving in just before the virus attack and lockdown - probably the worst time to evaluate our new home. We couldn't be more pleased. They have done a fantastic job in protecting us and providing us a safe home. The staff is outstanding - friendly and willing to help. We only see our neighbors from 6 feet away when walking but all are very friendly and mention that we will have a good social life when "this is over". Communal areas are clos…
