Would not recommend
Lied about improvements . Only clean carpet on the first floor. Elevators out so often stranding people dependent on them. Water and electricity issues. Food is terrible. The building manager is confrontational to residents. The quality overall is very poor as an experience. Moving out as soon as lease is up.

My mother in law is happy, she has made friends and enjoys all the activities provided. She enjoys the entire staff. We as a family are very happy she is happy.

Helpful staff
Our mom has the start of dementia and we needed to move her some where safe and that felt like a home. Mom was not happy about the move but once she was settled in she was out of her room and visiting with other residents. Mom has had some set backs and the staff is very helpful to her, and great at keeping the family up to date as to what is going on, as we can not be there every day. We feel that mom is being cared for and watched. We are very grateful for the staff and all their help, love and care that they give to mom and the family.

Very friendly staff
She did well there. We ended up moving her to TN to live with my sister. She needed more care and didn't want to live alone They are super friendly. Lots of nice activities and she made friends easily. The ages range dramatically there with some people still working so that made it nice. Their med team is really good too. Easy to talk with and we could call if we had concerns. They would go right up and check on her

Doesn't live up to promises
My mom is very capable of taking care of herself still, but she chose to sell her home and move because she wanted more socializing and community. Lockwood did not live up to promises. The food was so poor that very few people ate in the dining room so she wasn't having any socialization at meal time. The bus was broken and they never fixed it so no trips. After a sad year at Lockwood she moved to [community removed] where she has made many friends and enjoys continuous activities.

Very friendly and helpful staff
I wish my father had found Lockwood sooner instead of living on his own for years after mom passed. The staff is very helpful and friendly. Shelbie in leasing worked with us to get dad transfered, always professional, always quick to respond. [name removed] at the front desk always greets with a welcoming smile. This is an active community with a positive social feel. Lots of events and activities available. There is a lovely nature walking path and shopping within walking distance. This community always felt safe and welcoming. Thank you Lockwood!

It's a cute place, no real need to leave the building if you don't want to other than outside medical appointments. We picked this community because of the cost, and location to family. Welcoming attitude of the leasing manager.

A Place for Mom has scored Lockwood of Waterford 9.2 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.
