A place in transition hoping for improvements
The residents are nice. They can improve on repairs, advocating for their residents when loss happens, they need more qualified maintenance people and the required tools, needs to make residents needs a priority not the convenience of the staff. Also need to expand transportation services in terms of hours. Hire a bus driver and not make activities person do 2 or 3 jobs.

Response from Independence Village of Waterford
September 24, 2025
Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re glad to hear that you enjoy the community of residents, and we truly value your input on areas where we can continue to improve. Regarding transportation, we recently welcomed a new bus driver who began this week. Our current transportation schedule is Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m.–4 p.m. and Wednesday from 9 a.m.–1 p.m. When there are activities or specific needs outside of these times, we do our best to make accommodations. We appreciate your patience during the transition period after parting ways with our previous driver. We also recognize the importance of timely maintenance and ensuring resident needs are prioritized. We would like to connect with you directly to learn more about our maintenance team and how we can better support. We cannot identify you based on your anonymous review, so please connect directly with our Executive Director so we can learn more and provide a resolution. Thank you.

Independence Village of Waterford offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored Independence Village of Waterford 9 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
