Key Review Excerpts

Lockwood of Waterford is the example of how assisted living facilities should be run and maintained. Happy staff. Friendly staff. Helpful staff. Clean lobby, restroom and living apartments.

Visiting professional · 2026★★★★★

The food quality has declined over the years to the point that my mother in law won't eat what they're serving. See the photo for an example of a dinner that adds $11 to your daily rent.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★☆☆

The housekeeping is outstanding. I just wish the food would better in portion. Nana likes her food. Overall a beautiful place for Nana.
