The best and most amazing home.

My mom went to Waterford in Colby, Wisconsin. And since she has been there, she has not been happier than she has been in years. They do fun activities with them. I had gone on trip with them. And it was the most amazing thing. I had seen the way they take care of the people. They treat them and love them like they 're their own. I could not ask for a better place. The meals are great. The workers are all so amazing. So caring, so loving, you couldn't find a better place to put your parents or whoever you would need to. But thanks to the Waterford in Colby wi my mom is in the best place she could ever be besides being at home with dad. I want to thank everybody there. And all the workers for doing such an amazing job and taking such good care of not just my mom but everybody else's parents. They are the happiest crowd of people. Residents that I have seen in many, many years, and this place. If I had to give him then, a rating, it would be way past the moon and back, thank you, all

A Nice Safe Place for a Loved One

A place for great care

When thinking of a place to come to during hard times I think about the waterford at colby. This place has been an amazing escape from my home life for almost a year. I find that the residents get treated decent and that the staff try there hardest to to work together to make the dream work for these residents. From physical cares and needs to even just stopping in to ask if your ok or need anything. Remember in times of struggle the waterford at colby

Very nice place

I had a relative there and the place seemed very nice. It appeared clean and the caregivers seemed nice and like they knew what they were doing. Also, there were a lot of activities always going on which I thought was great for the people.

The best care you can find

My grandma stayed at The Waterford at Colby, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The facility was always exceptionally clean, and the caregivers went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and cared for. They were not only attentive to her needs but also genuinely kind and compassionate. It was clear they truly cared about making her stay the best it could be, and that gave our family so much peace of mind.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living.
