The Waterford at Carpenter's Creek in Pensacola, FL

The food is good. Should be more flexible with supper times. The activities are great. Just need more of them. The facility is nice. The apartment is perfect. The staff is mostly great. Takes a good person to work there. It has been a primarily good experience.
