My mother-in-law is currently living here and everything has been going very well! The Waterford at Ames is very nice and the staff are great, while being very easy to communicate with. They’ve honored any requests that we’ve had and over all we’ve had a very good experience. We come visit my mother-in-law often and generally join her to eat dinner and the food is very good. With portion size being great! They offer outstanding activities like card games, wine nights, social events, movie nights, and more. They keep on top of everything including cleanliness and it’s always clean when we’re there. Ultimately we decided on The Waterford at Ames because it’s very convenient to where we live and how great the facility and staff are!

    I toured last week for my Mom and Dad. Absolutely beautiful facility and large apartments. I was very impressed how good it smelt also. You don't get a "nursing home" smell when you walk in. The staff were all very welcoming and seemed to enjoy their work. They also have a large gorgeous courtyard with an infinity walking path, perfect for my "outdoors" Father! Finding a place for Mom and Dad to call home has been a lot to handle, but Waterford really helped put my worries at ease!

    Wonderful facility with great staff as well as great amenities. Executive director (Amber) and director of sales & marketing (Logan) went above and beyond to make sure my parents needs & wants were meet. The Waterford at Ames is very inviting and comforting while being very clean. Housekeeping staff do a great job at making sure the building is clean at all times. They also provide daily activities that give my parents a fun atmosphere to be involved in while providing them a choice of what they want to do.

    This was once a lovely place for seniors to live. It was sold to a large corporation that deals solely in assisted living throughout the U.S. The environment quickly changed dramatically with new administrative management. The head nurse is sadistic and power hungry making the lives of residents and their family members extraordinarily unpleasant. The arrogance of this nurse is astounding!
    "Bottom line? became the new mantra of Waterford at Ames and the residents were treated according to their means. The nutrition plummeted and the general care of the building and apartments quickly went downhill.
    The change over of staff is high and employees are hired more for low salary than experience.
    This place is a nightmare.


    12/19/2012  -  An OurParents User Writes:

    This is not a place you want to place a loved one.
    Management is only interested in bottom line profit. Employees do not stay long. The food is of poor quality and poorly prepared. The individual apartments are not kept clean by the staff.
    This is not a nice place.

    I would not recomend the Waterford to anyone. The nurse is overbearing and bossy. They add unnessessary services to increase your bill. CNA's were friendly but not worth puting up whith the head nurse.

    Response: Thank you so much for your feedback and I am grateful that your Mother is enjoying her home here and we are honored to serve her everyday.

    My parents lived here for about two years. I would not put my parents here if I had to do it over again. The head of nursing is very controlling and tries to control every aspect of resident's life.
    She is bossy and rude. There are hidden costs not revealed and when asked to send a copy of the orginal contract parents had signed all they could send was unsigned contract with no names.
