Great AL community

My 95 year old mother lives at Heathers Manor. She loves her apartment and how wonderful everyone is to her. The staff is always there to help out in any way they can. She especially likes the chef's beer cheese soup.When I come to visit I am always greeted and they all know who I am. The whole family is thankful for such a great place for mom to live.

Great place to call home

I have lived at the Heathers Estates for several years. One of the reasons i picked the community was because of the beautiful private court yard and all the walking trails at Bassett Creek Park. The neighborhood is very quiet and I enjoy every day I can be out side.

My mom has lived there for the last year. Her only complaint is that she didn't do this sooner. She loves the food, she even tells the Chef on what she is craving and they have made it for her. She is never in her apt when I call, as she attends most of the activities. The nursing staff does special things for as the staff is always very helpful and always happy to help you with anything.

nice place

Waterford Manor is a very nice place. We only toured and did not end up choosing them, but from the experience that I had when we toured I would give them a very favorable rating. The only thing I did not care for about it is that it is kind of in a bad part of town, and that just made me a little nervous.

Good layout, very attentive care, business staff know residents well

We really like the property. It's really great for my Mom. You really like the layout because it's flat. It's very safe. It's an older property. They really fixed up very nicely. My mom is in assisted living. She now gets fed balanced meals, that taste very great; care quality is great. Her medications are given on schedule every day, so we don't have to worry about her getting the correct quantities. She also gets help with her bathing, which is fantastic. The location is very close to doctors and hospitals, and to me, and it's pretty close to my work. The staff is really phenomenal; very caring, and very patient. The business side staff really all work very closely together, so that they know their residents very well, and I have had no problems.

We moved my mother-in-law into the indepent living at the Rivers and the staff could not be more helpful. They are easy to deal with. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. My mother-in-law was unsure of this next step in her life but the staff at the Rivers has made it easier for her to adjust. She said she should of moved a lot sooner. She is so busy with all the social activities I do not have to worry about her being lonely anymore. I would recommend the Rivers to anyone. It is very clean and has an uplifting feeling as soon as you walk through the front door

A living facility that allows one to be an individual

If you would like a comfortable apartment with complete kitchen and laundry facilities in your own spacious living quarters, then this is the place for you. You can be totally independent, ,eat all your meals in a fine dining room or receive assistance and have your meals delivered. This will mean additional costs for you The staff and the residents are friendly and helpful. We genually like our home and friends here.

This is a great place.

They had a new manager take over, There are concerns with the changing of the staff schedules, and there was some turnover, and I know some of the staff isn't happy with that either. I chose it based partly on price point, as well as how clean, and welcoming, and how good the care was. They are pretty strict about making sure they can take care of your loved one. They had a good system. The care coordinator asked me a lot of questions, and I could tell they were interested in making sure it was a good fit. One thing that was helpful to me was, understanding the base price for the room price, and then a care level. They are pretty accommodating with their different living options.

Very Impressive

We toured the facility last weekend, they are in the process of repairs and repainting due to a water main issue from this past winter. My parents fell in love with it immediately. Everyone is so gracious as are other tenants. They made my parents feel welcome from the first tour. We were able to rent the apartment they desired 4 days later. Staff are amazing and are all about the benefit of the residents being 'at home' 'comfortable' and reassuring! Mom and Dad can even grow tomatoes in planters on their patio! We are impressed with the whole picture!
