A place for great care
When thinking of a place to come to during hard times I think about the waterford at colby. This place has been an amazing escape from my home life for almost a year. I find that the residents get treated decent and that the staff try there hardest to to work together to make the dream work for these residents. From physical cares and needs to even just stopping in to ask if your ok or need anything. Remember in times of struggle the waterford at colby

The best care you can find
My grandma stayed at The Waterford at Colby, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The facility was always exceptionally clean, and the caregivers went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and cared for. They were not only attentive to her needs but also genuinely kind and compassionate. It was clear they truly cared about making her stay the best it could be, and that gave our family so much peace of mind.

It is not new to the staff at Waterford. They develop relationships with your family member. They will answer questions for you at any time. They are also helpful with the transition. Staff meet your loved one at their level and tailor the care needs for them. Waterford has years of experience to help you! Even though assisted living might be new to you.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Waterford at Colby

The Waterford at Colby offers 1 Bedroom and Studio. Learn more.
A Place for Mom has scored The Waterford at Colby 9.6 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.   We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.   Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
