Great place to live.

My mom is so happy at the Rose. When at home she was closing herself off from people, now she is involved in the activities. I am impressed with the cleanliness of the entire place. The staff is always very friendly, and say hello as we come to visit. I would definitely recommend The Rose to anyone looking for a place to call home, because that is what it is HOME!

Don't move your loved one in there.

That place is infested with bed bugs. The whole building. Warning do not move in there. The food is so awful, they never fix anything. A lot of bed bugs and roaches. When confronted they get upset. Terminex just walks through says they treat but the infestation is getting bigger. Please do not move into this place. The stress is not worth the savings.

Our experience at The Rose of Waterloo

I wasn't happy with The Rose of Waterloo. The manger was difficult to deal with. My loved one was happy to get out of this facility. The food was awful and was always cold. Overall, our experience at The Rose was poor.

Nice Apartment Space!

As far as I know, things are going well for my loved one since the move to The Rose of Waterloo. Everyone is friendly and he really likes the space and the fact that he got an apartment that is affordable. They have some trouble with the out of state referral, but I think things are getting figured out now.

My Mother In Law Loves the Food

Everything has worked out wonderful for my mother in law here at this community. She has adjusted very well to it, and we are satisfied. The staff have been great, they are really helpful and attentive. She has tired a few of the activities they offered. She loves the food, the meals are nice. They have lovely family events too include the families. They are providing her with good care. I would highly recommend this community.

Nice And Clean

This is a lovely community and I am very pleased. Everything at this community looks great and nice and clean. There isn't much staff because these are senior apartments and I am still very much independent. The other residents are nice and friendly. The community is great and I have adjusted well to it.
