Friendly and Caring

Staff are always friendly and helpful here at The Waterford. I highly recommend. During my most recent visit, I saw the residents outside with a petting zoo! I quickly went and got mom to join the fun. It seems like they recently added fun and family friendly events that are much appreciated.

The Waterford at Virginia Beach

We ultimately decided to leave Waterford primarily because of the distance and commute. It was a minimum 40-minute drive for me, and during rush hour the trip home could sometimes take an hour. That made frequent visits and getting back and forth more difficult than we had anticipated. I did not express my dissatisfaction about the level of care when we left, but I had asked about several concerns while [name removed] was there, and unfortunately, those concerns were never resolved. One experience that particularly concerned me was when [name removed] fell out of her bed. It took approximately 45 minutes for someone to come and assist her. I was told afterward that the delay was because of a shift change. The apartment itself offered more space, with a larger living room and bedroom, but [name removed] really didn't need that additional space. We realized that convenience, accessibility, and having a location that was easier for me to get to were more important than having a larger apartment. For these reasons, I would give Waterford 3 stars. There were things we appreciated, but the concerns about care and the distance ultimately led us to look for another option.

Review for The Waterford at Virginia Beach

Our experience with the community was very disappointing. We had concerns about safety, attentiveness, and whether individual care needs were being consistently addressed. We also did not feel that staff developed the level of connection and understanding we had hoped for. Ultimately, we they did not meet our expectations and we regret our time there.

Family experience

Overall experience at Waterford has been excellent the staff is caring and understanding of all patients needs, activity is multiple times a day for the patients who are able to participate, food served in the cafeteria on plates with forks and spoons food is prepared to the needs of each patient. The rooms are cleaned on a daily basis common areas are cleaned constantly during the day. The apartments are single and double occupant room sizes can handle queen size and bed hospital beds has their private baths and shower two good size closets

Warm, welcoming, staff and residents

I could not ask for a better home for my aging brother than what we’ve discovered at Waterford. This was my first opportunity to visit him after he moved in six days ago and all the staff we passed greeted him by name and chatted with him in a way to show how much they enjoy having him as a resident. The other residents were also cheerful and kind, telling my husband and I how happy they are at Waterford. The facility is bright and clean and each resident has made their room truly look and feel like home. My brother loves the food since he’s struggled to cook for himself and had been living on canned goods prior to moving to Waterford. I cannot express my gratitude for the peace of mind I feel knowing he is not only physically safe, but is emotionally being cared for with compassion. I cannot recommend Waterford highly enough for anyone who is or who has a loved one who is aging and needs help, but wants to maintain their dignity and autonomy.

The Waterford at Virginia Beach

The staff need to inform families more on the status of their loved one. Also, keep up with the laundry and personal hygiene a little better. Explain what meditations they are giving the resident and why it is being given. Families shouldn't have to ask. Also, plan more activities ie arts and crafts.

Overall good experience

Office staff was excellent. Care staff was very good. Room was clean and good size. Room security was difficult (I don't know how they could make it better-quite a few things disappeared from her room).

Thrilled that we found the Waterford!

I would give every category a 5. We are SO happy that we found this place. Absolutely amazing! Everyone we have met there has gone above and beyond to make this the perfect home for my mother in law. We are thrilled and if I ever need a place, hopefully a long time from now, I would choose The Waterford for myself...

Unacceptable

I am extremely disappointed in this facility. First and foremost to be told that some of the caretakers are rough, mean and throw the very people around that pay their salaries is terrible!! If you don't like being a caregiver find another occupation. Then there's the cleanliness. It was absolutely gross! Floors haven't been mopped, bathroom was dirty and don't get me started on the plumbing issues!!! Do better for the amount people pay to live here!

Pros and cons

Family should know you may be pressured to allow them to sedate your loved one with a threat that they will be given notice to leave if you don't comply. Re: Quality of care: I'd give it a 2. There were too few staff to meet the needs. Often, there would be hours of waiting to get help changing my husband. A staff told me they only wanted to change him once per shift. Re: Administrative staff: I found the sales person, Jane, to be very professional and caring person. I felt one of the head nurses was always ready to give us a 2 weeks notice, yet she saw his combative behavior prior to his admission there and acceoted him in. After he was paralyzed by there administration of Depacoke, it was especially stressful because I didn't know how I would care for him if they did put him out. Therefore, I started him on hospice, which gave me the guidance I needed.

Beware!

No chain of command. Its was always go talk to this person and oh that's someone else's responsibility. Short staffed. Often at night with 1 aide in the entire building. Constantly charging my mom more for care she wasn't receiving. Dining room was a fight every meal to find a seat when people would save seating for others. There was never anyone to resolve the dining issue. My mom ate snacks in her room to avoid the shouting. Sales person would tell you they could provide the care my mom needed but they did not. I moved her out after 1 month. At the time of my greatest need for my moms care that place was a horrible decision on my part. It looks nice but that was it

Review for The Waterford at Virginia Beach

I’m giving a 4 because, while the experience has been positive overall, there is still some room for improvement. The staff are friendly and consistently acknowledge residents and visitors, which creates a welcoming atmosphere. When I raised a concern about trash not being emptied regularly, it was addressed promptly, which I appreciated. One concern I have is around meal routines. Breakfast is sometimes delivered later in the morning, which can affect appetite for later meals. While this doesn’t appear to be a widespread issue, it’s something I’ve noticed and continue to keep an eye on. I also have some hesitation about the transition in medical care. Moving away from a long-time primary provider has been an adjustment, and I would feel more comfortable having a better understanding of how new residents are evaluated and cared for. I plan to connect directly with the medical team to learn more, which I believe will help address these concerns.

WATERFORD WAS VERY CLEAN, ORGANIZED AND EVERYONE WE SEEN AND TALKED TO WERE VERY HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE. WE CHOSE WATERFORD FOR OUR MOTHER TO STAY AT AND SHE WILL BE MOVING IN SOON. MOM HAS DEMENTIA AND THINK THIS WAS A GREAT FIT BECAUSE THERE WAS SO MUCH ROOM FOR HER TO MOVE AROUND, SINCE WE LIVE IN A SMALL HOUSE. THIS WILL BE A CHANCE FOR HER TO MEET NEW PEOPLE WITH THE SAME SIMILARITIES. IT WAS SUCH A SAD DECISION TO MAKE BUT I BELIEVE THAT SHE WILL BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THATS WHAT MATTERS. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO VISITING AND SEEING HER HAPPY FACE. THANKS EVERYONE AT WATERFORD.

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:

  • Know Virginia’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection 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 communities you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it 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 committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
