We felt that Lockwood of Waterford is a great place. Everybody was friendly, and we really liked it. The staff was really helpful and accommodating. This is actually one of the places my mom is considering although she has not made her decision yet. They have lots of activities, and their rooms are of good size.

My mother moved into Lockwood of Waterford. She likes the food, the staff, and the people there. The room gets cleaned, everybody is nice, and the place is nice and clean. The snow removal is taken care of, they seem to be on top of everything, and the maintenance staff seem to be really good too. The dining area is fine and large. Mom said they have lots of activities. They have transportation services, they have a beauty shop, they have a small store, a movie theater, a pool table, they have a library to take out books, and places to do jigsaw puzzles.

My favorite one is Lockwood of Waterford. It was just remodeled, so everything was modern. It looked classy. The rooms could have been a little bit bigger. The food was all freshly cooked. The staff was very nice. The activities were very similar. The building was near the main road, but more than a block in, so it felt secluded. It was very close to lots of shopping. They took the residents to the doctors. The staff members that I met were very nice and helpful. They had aerobic exercises and crafts. The place was gorgeous.

Lockwood of Waterford was a slightly older facility and a bit more condensed with the number of units and the building itself. I got a quick tour of the one-bedroom apartment and the common room. It was about that time everybody was coming down for dinner. The staff was very open and very helpful.

Lockwood of Waterford was where Mom would want to live if she decides to move from California to Michigan. We like the area. We lived near there all of our lives and she's been away from Michigan for 30 years. She was comfortable in that environment. She liked just everything about it. She liked the convenience of it. We were able to see the rooms, and they were very nice. One of the things that we found is that because of her income, she could qualify for rent assistance, so that was important to her. They are sending her calendars of activities each month so she can take a look at them. We walked around and saw the entire place. I have a friend that actually is a nurse that works for the agency out of Lockwood and she was even there and that helped the comfort level. The person that we spoke with still keeps in touch with us. Michelle is very accommodating, very informative, and has been very responsive to any questions we continue to have even though my mom has decided she doesn't want to move to Michigan right now. One thing that I thought was very noticeable is there were cleaning and maintenance people throughout the building and everything seemed to be real clean and well taken care of.

We loved Lockwood of Waterford. The tour and amenities were fantastic. We spent a couple of hours there. The food looked great, and their little apartments were cute. The place was very clean, very neat, and very inviting. The residents were busy because they had something going on every single day. We loved it because if you want to be busy, you can be, and if you don’t, you don’t have to participate.

I liked Lockwood of Waterford basically. The rooms were nice, and it was apartment living. I found out that the meal included was only dinner, and it was served at a certain time. The staff who assisted me was very nice and very helpful. She was telling me about their activities and how the entire family would be invited which was important to me because I've got lots of grandkids. It was easy to get to places if I needed to because they have a shuttle. The dining area looked really nice.

I liked Lockwood of Waterford very much, but they didn’t have a vacancy on the first floor. I didn’t look at them that thoroughly, but I liked what I saw. I saw some seniors getting ready for their shuttle. The dining area looked fine.

It has lot of convenience to it. The lady who hosted the tour gave us lunch, and the food was very good. They have a lot of activities going on like crafts, movies, and bingo. The staff was very nice and helpful.

Lockwood of Waterford is clean and everything. It is a really nice place, but for my mother's needs, the other facility works better. Also when I went there on Saturday, there were very few residents that were out of their rooms. In comparison, there were a lot more going at the other facility than this one. Lockwood was also $100 more expensive. I'm really glad I didn't choose this place because of the location of the bathrooms in their apartments. We want the bathroom to be accessible, but with this one, you have to go around the corner and almost into the kitchen to go to the bathroom. To me, that's not acceptable. I also don't want to walk into an apartment and find the bathroom the first thing I see. And that's the way it is there.
