My husband Dick Alford and I, Mimi Alford, moved into Waterstone on High Ridge in Stamford CT from Western MA two years ago. Today, October 2, 2025, is our 20th wedding anniversary - the perfect opportunity for me to say how grateful we both are to be residents in this beautiful, lively, interesting community. From day one, the staff has always supported us with welcoming attention, personal kindness and care and true compassion as we needed to make adjustments to our living situations. I have a lovely, bright one bedroom apartment in the Independent Section and beloved Dick is content, cared for and entertained in the Bridges Memory Section. Waterstone has created the perfect scenario to make us feel that we are “still together” on this difficult Alzheimer journey. Thank you Waterstone!

Never have I ever experienced a senior residence that caters to each resident’s personal and individual needs as much as Waterstone on High Ridge. The staff care deeply about every resident, ensuring the most comfortable, social and uplifting environment for all. The Executive Director is present and meets regularly with residents and their families. The food is fantastic, the activities are enjoyed by all, the wellness activities keep people physically active the lectures keep everyone learning. In short, it’s the perfect home for those who seek perfection in their later years.
