Waterford Gardens sits in a quiet residential area near shopping centers, churches, and restaurants, and has a mix of apartments, retirement homes, and a mobile home park, so folks have studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options to fit different needs, and the property includes both indoor and outdoor common spaces, with walking paths, green space, and a community garden where residents can tend plants together, and schedules include daily exercise classes, group outings, and recreational activities to help people get out and stay active, while caregivers are on site day and night to help with medication, meals, dressing, bathing, and other daily tasks. The Bungalows At Waterford Gardens add another level of care to the community, and the Waterford Gardens Guest House, over at 1522 E Griffin Pkwy in Mission, gives another choice for care and stays.
Meals come with vegetarian options to make things easier, and dining areas give people the chance to eat together, and the fitness center and on-site salon add more to the daily routine. The place makes time for spiritual needs too, with devotional services both on site and off, and a health library with guides about medicines and tests sits there for reference, plus there's a symptom checker tool if ever someone feels unsure. The property offers scheduled transportation for medical appointments and trips to events, with help available at extra cost, so residents who don't drive still get where they need. Housekeeping and laundry get handled every day to keep things tidy.
Waterford Gardens has a memory care building with its own secured area for folks with Alzheimer's disease or those who wander, plus staff trained for behavior issues, bowel and bladder care, and two-person transfers for those who can't move easily, which can make a big difference for some families. Assisted living services help with anything from bathing and dressing to grooming and medicine reminders, while independent living choices give healthy, active seniors a way to age in place and stay social if they want. For people living at home, the community's home health and home care programs send aides for companionship and non-medical care too.
There are specific guides and a care guide for families, and programs for behavioral health recovery, along with resources around opioid use, suicide prevention, disaster recovery, elder abuse, and fall prevention, so there's support for whatever life brings. Folks with diabetes can get help monitoring sugar levels, and wheelchair-accessible showers come standard, and staff can handle emergency situations at any hour. Hospice and respite care let people get extra support when health takes a turn or caregivers need a break.
Staff work hard to look after everyone while aiming to let each resident live as independently as possible, using specialized care plans to match each person's abilities, and services stretch across different care levels, so most everyone can stay as their needs change over time. The entire community sits as part of a larger network for seniors and people with disabilities, where there's legislative information, health topics by category, tools for symptom checking, and an assistive devices program available. Regular tours show interested folks around and there's always someone ready to answer questions about what daily life, meals, activities, and care look like at Waterford Gardens, where trained and experienced staff put residents' safety, comfort, and well-being first.
