Golden Pond in Waterford Ontario is a hidden gem. Our parents moved in in 2019. The day they moved in they gained an extended family with not only the staff but the owners as well. Our father passed in 2020 during the pandemic and we couldn’t have had more support and we are forever grateful. Our mother was able to establish a network of friends prior to our father’s passing. The location in the downtown Waterfront gives our ninety years young mother the opportunity to walk on safe sidewalks, visit a pharmacy, the library, the post office, an aesthetician, coffee shop and restaurant. They offer activities and so much more. Hands down a wonderful place in a wonderful small town .
