The Waterford at Fairfield

My mother was a resident of the Waterford and she absolutely loved everything about it. From the friendly staff to the amazing residents, great activities, excellent food and vibrant atmosphere, the Waterford provides an unmatched place to call home. However, the true value of this amazing place was not known to me until I unfortunately lost my mother. Traveling back from out of town to settle her affairs was difficult and I do not have a large family support system in the city anymore. The staff at the Waterford allowed me to stay on site in an apartment free of charge that was pre-furbished and even had drinks and snacks waiting for me. They gave me free meals and helped me wherever they could taking out trash or carrying pieces of furniture. The kindness that I was shown is not something I will forget for the rest of my life. I literally don't know what I would have done without them in what was already such a tough time for me. This is a place of love, family, and care unlike anything you've seen before. Thank you again for all you did for me and how much you made my mom's life so wonderful!

Beautiful community and very friendly and helpful staff. The team here was very helpful and answered all my questions with ease. They made me feel "right at home." I spoke to several of the residents who only had wonderful things to say about living here. If you are looking for Independent Living, this should be your first choice!

Mike, the head of maintenance is without a doubt one of the most dedicated and most informed about all issues. He is always available if there is a problem. I feel very blessed to have him in his position.

The Waterford at Fairfield was the FIRST choice for my mother back in 2016. It met all of her needs, and it was everything we were looking for and the only reason we did not choose this community in 2016 was because my mother was still driving, and the area was not familiar to her. Now needing to find a new Independent Living community due to the sudden increase in her rent and a decrease in amenities and care at her current retirement community, we are thinking it’s time for her to move. From the moment I arrived at Waterford back in 2016, I knew I had found something special and on our recent visit this past November 2024 I felt the same. This isn't just a place to live – it's a vibrant community that truly understands the art of living in one's golden years. The facility itself is immaculately maintained. The apartments are clean and fresh . The main lobby is inviting. The colors are fresh and light. The building is modern yet welcoming, with thoughtful design that prioritizes both accessibility and appeal. Every team member we met on our November 2024 visit was open and kind. The administrative personnel showed genuine warmth and respect and concern and wanted to help. I believe they want to create a sense of family for their residents. The activities program had something for everyone, regardless of interests or mobility levels. Dining is another highlight. The menu changes regularly, providing variety and allowing residents to enjoy restaurant-quality dining without leaving the community. Sadly the location is still an hurdle for us since it’s not close to any of her family or established care providers.
