Peaceful

Upon my arrival I was greeted very nicely. The aroma smelled very pleasant. The tour went well with the sales and marketing director. The community was very warming and welcoming. I would suggest family members to bring their family out for a tour at the Waterford on Cooper.

Our Family's Experience

I can speak only about the Arlington location since there are several other locations in the DFW area. Arlington's location is a campus of four homes, each with a maximum of 20 residents, with at least 5 aides per home plus a medication nurse and cook staff. A regular schedule of meals, toileting, snacks, activities is covered each day, with regular bedtimes and waking times observed. Since there are about four residents to each aide, there is lots of personal attention. [name removed] room is always immaculate, he is always clean and shaved. I drop in a few times a week unannounced and things are always running smoothly. The aides are compassionate, good senses of humor and efficient.

We are still experiencing

Depends on what it is. Food currently has gone down hill from when she first moved in. Most of the staff makes up for the sub-par food. Food 2-3. Most of staff 4. I would if their loved one has a memory issue like my mom. Most of staff are helpful and supportive.

Waterford review

Food is not too good! Serve French fries way too often. At least half the care givers are not very friendly at all! Takes them too long to respond when my folks need help. Don’t really clean too good in my folks apartment.

The best staff in the business

My mother has been in Magnolia Trails (the memory care section) at the Waterford on Cooper for five years this June. I cannot thank the resident assistants and medical tech staff enough. I feel like they try to make sure the families feel at ease and really try to just help with some of the heavy lifting, so I can just be a daughter and not full time caregiver. The Magnolia Trails supervisor and staff have my phone number and if my mom needs anything or if there are any concerns, they are very good about reaching out to me. During the weekday, they do have daily activities and try to engage the residents. I really like that they try to find out special things about our love ones (e.g., like what were their hobbies, interests, etc.) and do little activities to reflect on those past experiences. For example, they found out that my mom loves dancing, so they are always playing music for her and trying to get her to dance. Thank you so much for taking care of our mom and keeping her safe!

Acceptable but could be better

Hallway always smelled of urine. The biggest issue was being continuously understaffed and high staff turnover. However, what we like about the community is location, courtyard, good control of medications, onsite PT (when it was staffed), mostly friendly staff, onsite hairdresser. Could improve: food!, cleanliness especially carpeted areas, bathrooms in residents rooms were NOT ADA compliant much less wheelchair accessible, should have access to ice after 8pm. Control of medications was in some ways too strict. They wouldn't provide OTC items e.g. Tylenol, laxatives, etc. Without a doctor's script. Maybe that's state regulation

Waterford on Cooper for the WIN!!

When my grandmother was transitioning from rehab into assisted living, it was an incredibly emotional and difficult time for her and our family. She was heartbroken about losing her independence and very anxious about what came next. The team at Waterford at Cooper made all the difference. From the very beginning, they were kind, patient, and supportive—not just with her, but with our entire family. They welcomed her with genuine warmth and took the time to make her feel comfortable, heard, and respected. Now, just a short time later, we see a noticeable change. She’s more relaxed, engaged, and even smiling again. The environment feels more like a community than a facility, and that has made all the difference. I’m so grateful for the compassion and professionalism of everyone at Waterford. They’ve truly helped my grandmother find a new sense of home.

Review for The Waterford on Cooper

It is clean, friendly, and offered what I was looking for. The marketing director realized that it was the first place I visited, and actually gave me some things to ask other places I was going. That meant she wasn't a hard sell, and she gave me room to look around at other facilities. The move in was easy, [name removed] made some acquaintances at dinners and entered into Bingo and watching football with others.

Great staff great location

My grandmother has lived in the Memory Care Facility since [date removed]. The staff goes over-and-above to provide great care for her. They really care about to provide great care for her. They really care about the residents and let us know immediately if there are any issues we need to deal with or know about. The only reason I gave a "3" below for value for cost us b/c the rent went up 10% after only 6 mos. of living there she's in a senior private room.

Answer to Our Prayers

When a change prompted a need to relocate our sweet grandmother to an assisted living community closer to us, a friend immediately recommended The Waterford on Cooper. From the moment I reached out, the management and staff were patient, caring, and helpful, even as plans changed sometimes day-to-day. They welcome Nana with love and kindness. She is so well cared for. The community is clean and well-maintained. I see staff interacting with all residents with patience, grace, and kindness. A variety of activities are offered, and my grandmother stays quite busy. We are so thankful to have found The Waterford on Cooper. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

The perfect place for my Mom

We needed a memory care facility for my Mom quickly. They expedited the process, were compassionate, and supportive through the entire process. They continue to be just as supportive now. I highly recommend this facility for your loved one.

My review

They have taken very good care of my mother-in-law during her time of need. She came here in need of around the hour care for medication and hygiene, and we have seen a drastic difference in her stability and cognition.

Happy Resident!

Lived across the street and moved to the Waterford after my wife passed. I am a happy camper here! I enjoy games, exercise, and socializing with my fellow residents. I would not want to live anywhere else.

With the food, there was a minimum choice or variety, bland, one size fits all, frequently not appealing in look or smell, seldom matched published menu We picked this community because they were 2nd closest to his home,

"It's a great place for your loved one"

The staff in general is very responsive. Once you establish a rapport with the people in charge, they will go out of their way to make sure your loved one is well taken care of I find it best to work with the staff on behalf of your loved one. I had a specific scenario yesterday with my loved one. I was able to get her showered and changed and the minute I let the staff know that that was happening, they were Johnnie on the spot to clean her room thoroughly and do her laundry. Her laundry was returned within the hour, there is a lady there who does laundry that folds with absolute perfection. It's fun to see the laundry come back. (She has one client that literally takes pictures of the fantastic job she does.)

Caring and Trained Staff

I arrived unannounced to visit my mom in the memory care wing. That particular day, one of the residents was having a hard time emotionally (as is typical with memory care). Calmly and gently the caring staff stood with the resident and reassured them. They were so patient and kind! None of the staff was stressed or anxious. They very kindly re-directed the resident. When I walked, no one was embarrassed, just kindness, like it was a normal thing to be kind to all people. I knew I had my mother at the right place.
