This is an absolutely amazing assisted living community! There is an amazing staff that cares for the residents as if they were their own family. Also, there is a beautiful courtyard coupled with a large garden for residents to enjoy a farm to table meal! If you or anyone you know may be looking for senior living community, I highly recommend The Gardens of Waterford.
