Grand Lifestyles

My experience with Waterford Estates has been good. The staff there is very friendly, caring, and professional. They do a good job keeping my wife and I informed of things going on with my father. They are also responsive when we call. The food is very food, and they are accommodating by providing food to the residents if they are unable to make meal time, or if they have eating issues, and need the food cut up in smaller pieces.

Love this place. The biggest downfall is that it does not provide longterm nursing care. However, we are definitely holding this as a possibility.

The community is kept very clean, and the staff is friendly. The food is not that great, it's not the best, and the dining staff aren't the friendliest. There isn't a huge variety, and it seems overcooked and dry. The waitstaff doesn't go out of their way to be nice. We like the rooms, they are pretty nice.

This is an option I would like my mom to see. I think this would be a good option if she doesn't want to move again.

Victory Centre's location, services and staff have fit our Mother's needs exceptionally well. While it is assisted living, she can still maintain her independence and take advantage of the many activities run by Victory and run by the residents themselves. Highly recommended for anyone needing this type of care.

My loved one got sick while she was there, so she was only there for a week. The people were really good, very nice and that. My loved one needed more attention than they were able to offer. It’s a very good independent living center.

My Dad had a 12 day stay in one of three respite rooms. He received adequate 24hr. care while he and my mother thoroughly enjoyed 3 delicious meals a day in their elegant restaurant reminiscent of a vacation lodge. The therapy Dad received from Dave was perfect for his needs.

So far,so good. I'll have a clearer vision as to how well this fits my Dad's needs in a week or two.

The place is really good, and you can be very happy here if you make something out of it for yourself. There are plenty of activities and they are are a great place to really experiment with your happy, if you do art, take pictures, or explore music. You have to want to experiment and do things. I was a little bit nervous at first and it's awesome. The maintenance people will even brush your car off. The value is incredible. I only have to pay for phone and cable. It's different for different incomes, they work with you. Once a week they come and do some housekeeping. They have a swimming pool. If you have two or more people you can go in the pool anytime, they had a spelling bee, they do brain teasers, and puzzles to do on the mezzanine floor. They have two main entrees every meal, and salads and hamburgers cheesburgers, spaghetti, if you don't like what they are making for the main meal, you can have something else. The rooms are kind of like a college dorm. The only thing I would like to see better is if somebody would take care of the older people who say there is nothing to do.

My mother, she stayed there but she didn't end up staying there permanently. She moved back home because she was just doing a trial period and she decided that she would rather live at home. We chose it for the trial period because we liked the environment, the structure of the building, her apartment, and the pool to swim. Where she was the laundry room was close by and she was on the first floor she didn't have to go up and down stairs or anything. They were very welcoming and friendly and supportive of mom. They were trying to include her whenever there were activities. It was good.

Nice place and they will take pets. With my dads pension and social security I need the veterans benefits available to supplement the monthly fees. Holland Home is willing to work with me on that by waiting until I get the check from the VA and assigning it over to them.

My dad said he definitely would have moved to Concord Place if it hadn't been so far removed from everything. It's like an island in the middle of nowhere. Everything around it is all businesses so there is nothing you can do with in walking distance. Still being in a community where he could walk to different things was very important to him.

This place isn't the Ritz, but they aren't pretending to be. A very affordable option compared to others. Energetic young staff that seemed to have enthusiasm for their jobs, which is critical when your job is senior care.

I don't have experience with a whole lot of others but maybe I should say 5 for the value because being a non profit, they do seem to have lower prices than the other ones we saw. They have on-site doctors who have regular hours in the place so that's convenient if you need to see someone. They do have a pool, however, they don't want you swimming alone. They do have water exercises but for someone who wants to swim laps, it's not that useful. They give you two meals a day and you choose which ones. If you want a third one you pay for that. What's also nice is that if you need more care they can go up to Alzheimer's care at additional cost.

The laundry is atrocious. They wash all the clothes with the towels and everything. When my dad uses his call button they don't always come right away or as fast as they should. I think they're understaffed. In the beginning they were a little rude. I told them immediately and it got better. I think they could train them better with the housekeeping so they take care of everything that needs to be done in one room and then move on to the next instead of just doing it a little at a time and having to come back.

We just moved my mother there and the supportive care program was the important part of our decision. She has limited funds for another year and a half and the supportive care program will allow her to keep her apartment once her funds run out. This facility, unlike others, accepts Medicaid. They have assisted living and senior apartments and the supportive care residents have their own building. They have personal assistance for dressing, laundry and housekeeping and escort services to dinner. They're competitive with a lot of other places (very expensive as a whole - the industry charges whatever the market will bear) but Victory Centre is cheaper than some others.

We chose this because my mom did not want anything to fancy and elaborate she wanted more of a plain Jane community. The building is really big and has several levels, it use to be a hotel that was converted to a senior community. We pay $1,400 a month for a pretty good size studio. They do not have a kitchen but 3 meals are provided daily. We had previous family members that lived here that had good experiences so we decided to use it again. It also happens to be very close to our family and provides a very convenient location.

Lovely facility but small studio rooms. Noticed a lot of staff helping residents.

Nice looking facility. Residents older. Need to qualify for income.

This facility does not specialize in memory care and it is not a secured faciity for wanderers.
