“Management is fantastic; they communicate, and they answer questions before I even knew it was a question. There are healthy options and variety, and the servers are lovely. The activities are fun, engaging, and very well organized. Housekeeping is fabulous without being intrusive, and it's always so clean. Maintenance does a thorough job and was so patient with my grandmother. The caregivers are wonderful and pretty quick to respond. It's so engaging, and safe without being overbearing. I'm going to reserve a spot for myself when I need it.”

“My mother in law was there and I'm an employee at the community. I just think that people are treated fairly there, in management. And I like the people who are in management as well. The caregivers for my mother in law did seem to know what her likes and dislikes were for dining. And there are other options for staff to eat there too. There was always something to do, as far as activities, and they were always looking for ways to engage the residents too. Plus, the housekeeping was very good, and everything was always very nice and clean. I know that sometimes when I was there they were there, and it did seem to be the same day of the week. The building was well cared for and the staff also knew the residents. Also, I was the one that went with her for the transportation services, and it was great. It's always been very good! The care staff were attentive and knowledgable. And the healthcare staff was attentive to detail. All in all, I would just like to have them know that we always appreciated everything they did for her. I highly recommend it!”

Life at Touchmark on South Hill

Dining

Residents eat in the Four Seasons and Meadowhaven dining rooms, the Coffee Cafe, and The Clock Sports Bar, and can book the Waterford Private Dining Room. Menus change with the seasons, meals are made to order, and the kitchen uses locally sourced ingredients. Under Touchmark's Choice Dining program, independent living residents get a monthly dining credit to use across venues, for guest meals, in-home dining, or private events.

Activities

The {FULL} Life Wellness & Life Enrichment Program sets the calendar, which includes small-group fitness classes led by certified staff, creative workshops, live music, documentaries with discussion, and trips to local galleries. Residents also volunteer and join resident-led clubs, and the calendar is shaped by what residents ask for. The site also mentions yoga classes at the health and fitness studio.
