The Gardens of Waterford
With Tisha Nickson serving as administrator, The Gardens of Waterford has served as an independent living community in Montgomery for two decades. It maintains a long-standing presence for seniors seeking autonomy with community support. The community at 3920 Antoinette Dr sits in a car-dependent neighborhood where personal transportation is essential for running errands, though Baptist Medical Center South lies just under half a mile away in this established residence.
Occupants live independently in private apartments while enjoying shared, community-wide common spaces. The facility features cozy seating areas and lounge spaces appointed with armchairs and fireplaces, and a piano in the common area for those who love music. The dining room provides table service for meals, inviting residents to daily gatherings. Such shared spaces present opportunities for connection without requiring occupants to leave home for social activity. The Gardens of Waterford has built its reputation on stability and familiarity within Montgomery’s senior living landscape. For independent seniors who value a long-established community with a calm, residential setting, the facility offers a 20-year-proven foundation. Pets are not allowed.
