Designed to maximize independence

From the thoughtful and beautiful design of our private apartments to personalized care programs and easy access to convenient services, encouraging independence and making the most of each and every day are always part of the plan. Our staff works with every resident to design a care program around individual needs, from daily personal care to medication management, nutritional counseling, and more.

Living well every day

Relax with your morning coffee on the outdoor terrace. Meet friends for a bite at our waterfront cafe. Or dive deep into a good book in our library. Every day, all over this community, there are fun things to discover, fun people to meet, and great social and entertainment programs happening. The challenge might be finding the time to take advantage of it all!

My parents joined the Tockwotton on the Waterfront community just over a year go. My mother is in memory care and my father resides in regular assisted living. My father has also received services from Bold Point physical therapy on site. I visit almost every day, and I can say without reservation, that the staff sincerely cares about my parents (and my family too). The housekeeping crew, kitchen staff, CNAs, med techs, nurses, and physical therapists are great! The management is professional and helpful, and the living units are lovely. The building and grounds are meticulously maintained. My parents enjoy the live music provided regularly, in addition to multiple activities provided by a phenomenal and energetic activites team. The culinary team works diligently to provide the residents a variety of healthy meals and also host wonderful gatherings including an annual clambake, and holiday gatherings, which we have throughly enjoyed! President Kevin McKay and Administrator Michaela McKay are exceptional! There is no doubt that they are dedicated to ensuring the well-being of their residents. I am thankful and so fortunate to have such a wonderful support system!
