The Waterford at Mansfield

The Waterford at Mansfield offers different types of senior living, like independent living, assisted living, memory care under their Magnolia Trails™ program, and skilled nursing for people who need more help. The building is a large, multi-story brick place with big windows that let in plenty of natural light, comfortable seating in the common areas, and easy-to-understand layouts with studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments. These apartments have safety features, private bathrooms, kitchenettes, extra storage, walk-in closets, emergency call systems, and some are wheelchair accessible. People here get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and grooming if they need it, along with medication reminders and personal care checks, and the staff is trained and there all day and night. Residents can bring their small pets, walk through beautiful grounds with walking paths by the river, sit in the garden or under the gazebo, or read in the quiet library. Meals are served in a restaurant style for lunch and dinner, and there's a Food Committee so people can help shape the menu, with three meals and snacks every day and even catering for special events like birthdays, weddings, and reunions. Folks can join all kinds of activities, like exercise classes in the fitness room, movie nights in the theater room, games in the billiards area, walking clubs, social gatherings, gardening, entertainment, and holiday parties, all scheduled by the staff so there's something happening most days. The Waterford at Mansfield also helps with tasks like housekeeping, laundry, and linens, and there's banking, a gift shop, covered parking, and a beauty salon on-site. If someone needs to get around, there's scheduled courtesy transportation and help with doctor appointments or shopping, and for those who need more care now and then, there are respite or temporary stays available. People living with Alzheimer's or dementia get safe and homelike care through the Magnolia Trails™ program, with their own dining and kitchen area and specialized support. There's plenty of security with 24-hour staff and emergency response systems, and access to things like speech, physical, or occupational therapy, plus hospice services or home health care from local agencies if needed. It's a lively but comfortable place where people are encouraged to make choices that help them stay independent, with options for recreation, meals, care, and getting around, all in one tidy community with nice gardens, outdoor space, and many things to do together or on your own.
