Response from the owner
Hi Genesis! Thank you for the wonderful things you said about The Stratford. We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review!
Dorothy Messerschmitt
We have been residents of the Stratford for two years and really love it. The management and medical staff guided us through the COVID pandemic skillfully and safely. The availability of a 9 room intermediate level assisted living clinic is one of the main reasons we are here. Competent nursing staff is always available. The staff is friendly and helpful. The heated swimming pool and spa are a pure delight. Activities abound and the food, thanks to a resident food committee, is five star. It is the best place to retire!!!

The Stratford is one of the most beautiful senior living communities I have seen. The staff are wonderful, the grounds are beautiful and the residents seem very very happy! I heard great things about the food and the service from each of the residents I spoke with and was able to enjoy an afternoon tea while I was there. 5 stars for sure

Could not be happier! I moved in here less than a year ago and really have been so pleased with my experience so far. Everything I had been top notch - in particular the staff. From the front desk to the executive director to the activities director to the dining staff to housekeeping. All have individually contributed to making my day to day here at the Stratford feel like a home. They are always open for suggestions and any issue is resolved timely. My highest recommendations!

All staff that I have dealt with are very professional and polite. I always recommend The Stratford to friends, family and clients when they are in need of a place for their loved one.
