The Waterford at Fitchburg

Food rating decreased due to lack of staff in the kitchen but overall meals are otherwise well prepared and tasty. A lot of fun activities daily with excellent bus driver. Apartments are spacious. Overall facility building is well kept and clean.

Joyful Senior Living

We have lived here at the Waterford for a year. It is such a friendly place, both residents and staff. We have a lovely apartment that looks out on a beautiful garden complete with a koi pond. We have a full kitchen and an in-apartment washer and dryer. Full meal plans are available and breakfast is available for all. My husband has assisted living services and I have independent living. There are many activities available, including van excursions and trips to various stores as well as to medical appointments. .
