Dedicated staff

They were very responsive every time we had a concern. They were very kind they were quick to get my mother-in-law in her apartment and settled. Unfortunately she has passed away but in her time there she was well cared for and we were able to develop really positive relationships with all of the staff. Can't say enough good things about the nurses on the second floor as well as the CNA's and [name removed]!

Getting out of there

The Waterford is a 0. It looks nice but the problem is in the staffing. There were many nights with 1 assistant for the entire building. That person had the upstairs and downstairs to work. Calls for assistance would go unanswered. My mom experienced problems with charges with her level of care. Their paperwork listed one price but t heir software during a review would bump her care to the next level. They care her for medication we provided. My mom often could not eat in the dining room because residents refused to allow others to sit at a table. The residents constantly argued over seating. The food was overcooked. Most old people can't chew hard fried foods.

Our experience at The Waterford was positive from our first meeting seeking information through moving my brother into the memory care unit. The entire staff is friendly and always ready to help in any way they can. I facility is clean well lit and inviting. I feel I have found a safe place for my brother where he will be safe and well cared for.

Review for The Waterford at Virginia Beach

Short staffed, memory care unit looks like a psych ward and stinks terribly. Some of my mother's clothes and sheets were missing, and some aides didn't even know what sun-downing was, which my mother had. It was a terrible experience. I would never recommend Waterford to anyone.

The Waterford at Virginia Beach

The facility was adequate and appropriate based on the cost. It provided us a short term option for my father. Communication was difficult, and being out of state made it more difficult to reach staff. When I did communicate with them, they were very nice. The evening staff did not seem to be as good as the day staff.

Review for The Waterford at Virginia Beach

The Waterford of Virginia Beach has been amazing! Such great care and concern and I'm grateful that I move my mom to their location. It's beautiful.! Food might be a four because of memory care patients not being able to cut up food properly. More like hand food but overall, this is a great facility in every way and I'm so pleased. My mom was at the [facility removed], which was $[fee removed] a month and she constantly had infections and other issues. She's been here at The Waterford for a year and she's been very welcome and taking care of.

The Waterford has a very spacious interior with comfortable activity rooms that are very inviting. With just two floors it's a friendly atmosphere. The aids and med techs are very friendly, encouraging, and helpful. there is physical and occupational therapy staff on site.

There were others there who were quite happy at The Waterford. It just didn't work for us and I wouldn't recommend it if someone asked me.

The Waterford at Virginia Beach review

Would rate a 4. Don't know if there could be a 5 anywhere. Staff are nice. One thing I like is the manner at which they talk to residents. Quality of care is good. Since I'm not there all the time I can't talk about activities. Most places are short handed with staff but waterford is pretty consistent at the way they interact. They pay attention to needs of cleanliness, changing of sheets, and personal hygiene. Value for the money is very good. I would recommend this facility.

This is Moms new home

The Waterford is a great place if your parents are looking for a quiet home like setting. My mother is very happy living here which was a relief as she loved her house. But she requires a little supervision and some assistance which is provided by a very friendly staff. Clean and well maintained. [name removed] will answer all you questions and the desk staff always greets you with a kind smile. So far 2 months in and we feel this was the right move.

Welcoming Environment for Mom

I have been a caregiver all my life and have worked in various nursing homes and assisted livings over the years, but I just recently had to move my own mother in. I was finally the family member on the other side. I can tell the team here cares for my mom since I know the heart it takes. Our move was easy and so far we are very happy with our decision.

Everyone here was very nice

I came to this community to visit by brother for the holidays and I was very happy to see that he is happy here and this facility. It has been a struggle to find placement for him and now that he happy I feel a lot better about him being in a facility.

Wonderful experience. Friendly. Clean.

The community was clean, staff was very friendly. I feel this would be a good fit for me very soon. Dining room was very well presented. The halls smelled clean. Activity calendar was posted in a common area with print large enough I could read and looked like there were many fun things to do there.
