The Waterford of Summerlea is a wonderful seniors community that truly stands out. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and clearly care about both residents and visitors. One of the highlights is the food — it’s consistently delicious, with plenty of variety and quality. The brunch, in particular, is outstanding and easily rivals many local restaurants. One thing that makes Waterford of Summerlea especially unique is that their dining room is completely open to the public. Anyone can stop in and enjoy a meal, which is a fantastic way to experience the community and its hospitality firsthand. It’s not something you see every day, and it’s a great option for family visits, casual lunches, or a relaxing brunch. Whether you’re considering it for yourself or a loved one, or simply looking for a great meal, Waterford of Summerlea is well worth a visit. Highly recommended!

It was three years ago that my mom, Jean, moved into The Waterford. She was originally in a two bedroom suite with my Dad but has since moved on her own into a one bedroom suite, both suites are beautiful, quiet, clean and spacious. We had looked at many different independent senior living options and settled on The Waterford. I am so glad we did ! I feel completely confident in Mom's safety on her own here. The staff is always helpful and kind and greets everyone with a smile and a chat. Even my little dog is welcome to visit. There are many options of activities, from tea time, exercise time, to an outing on the bus. The bus service to scheduled appointments is also a great service. Mom keeps active by helping with the gardens and indoor holiday decorations. She keeps her finger on the pulse of The Waterford by attending monthly meetings with management and the chef that are open to all residents. They are always willing to discuss ideas and operations. The food? Delicious ! Meals are prepared in house and offer many options. The Sunday Brunch is a big hit with residents and families. In short, I am very satisfied with our choice of The Waterford. It's a safe, friendly, beautiful environment. Thank you to all staff and residents for making it the best choice for my Mom !

My mother lived at the Waterford for 12 plus years until her health declined greatly and needed more care. Her 12 years at the Waterford were a wonderful experience, she was treated with respect and they cared for her with great dignity. My experience with the Waterford is a fantastic one while looking after my elderly mother. They are great people at the Waterford!
