he Waterford's Life Enrichment Director plans each day with a variety of programming, including exercise, arts, crafts, reading and writing groups.

We include support and comfort groups, Bible studies and entertainment (concerts, plays, tea parties, etc.)

Everyone can enjoy Bingo, board games or a game of cards. Outings and trips to shopping, or perhaps a walk on the nearby trails help the days to pass quickly. Even watching television or a movie can be fun if you're doing it with friends.

The Waterford has cozy seating areas inside and out, plus a play area for younger children. There is a residents' phone line, with the option of personal phones in apartments and computer access to communicate by e-mail; or you can set up your own family "chat room."

Our staff is certified to assist with all activities of daily living and individualized levels of care. Each apartment has a handicapped accessible bathroom with a shower. Our residents are encouraged to be as independent as possible with our attentive staff available 24-hours a day.

You can have added confidence in our staff responding to your needs, as you can activate our medical alert system in an emergency. They are there to help meet your needs anytime — day or night.

The Waterford offers "Respite Stays" for those who aren't ready to give up their home, but who need additional care or assistance for a few days or a few months to mend after surgery or while family may be on vacation. There is no buy-in and residents are billed on a monthly basis. We have some furnished rooms set aside for short stays.

As a resident of The Waterford at Williamsburg, you will gain a trusted extension of your family. Our goal is to provide the best care and services in a loving and dignified manner. We form partnership with you, your physician, and your family. You will always know your exact care needs and costs. Our nurse will conduct an initial functional assessment and will re-evaluate on a monthly basis. A conference will be scheduled quarterly (or more often if desired) to discuss concerns.
