We are dedicated to our mission statement which is: “To provide a focal point in the Waterford community for services, programs and activities associated with vital aging.” "Resolve to be tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant with the weak and the wrong. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these." -- Dr. Robert H. Goddard (American rocket engineer 1882-1945) Thank You to our Partners!
