WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, MI – October 28, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

Lockwood of Waterford publishes a pet policy that specifies permitted animals, household limits and associated costs for residents in its independent living apartments. The community permits one cat or dog, with a maximum pet weight of 25 pounds. Its website lists a one-time pet fee of $350 and monthly pet rent of $45. The policy provides concrete eligibility and cost information for households reviewing the community’s residential requirements.

The policy appears alongside details about the community’s one- and two-bedroom apartment homes. Listed features include full kitchens, private bathrooms, generous storage, walk-in closets, and options for a balcony or patio. Gas, electric and water are included in the apartment features described on the website, while in-room cable is listed as available for an additional fee. These details help distinguish included apartment features from costs associated with other selected options.

Mark Lockwood, President and CEO of Lockwood Senior Living, said, “Pet requirements are one of the practical details residents may review when selecting an apartment. A clear description of permitted pet types, the weight limit and associated charges helps explain the community’s current policy.”

Lockwood of Waterford presents its apartments as part of an independent living environment for adults who remain active and self-sufficient. Available layouts include one- and two-bedroom options, with full kitchens, natural lighting, private living areas and storage. Some floor plans offer a balcony or patio, and the community describes options for one or one-and-a-half bathrooms. These choices define the residential setting, while the pet policy establishes separate conditions for residents who keep an animal.

The community also lists shared amenities and services that form part of its wider residential offering. These include a formal dining room with chef-prepared meals, concierge service, laundry and linen services, housekeeping, a library, hobby rooms, a billiards room, an enclosed patio or solarium, elevators, and scheduled transportation. Social, educational and cultural activities are also included among the community amenities. These shared facilities complement the apartment homes but remain distinct from the conditions that apply to pets.

Some additional amenities are listed as available for an extra fee, including the full-service beauty and barber salon, additional on-site storage, a guest suite and lighted carports. The apartment section separately identifies in-room cable as an additional-fee option. The published pet charges provide another specific cost category for residents to consider alongside optional services and shared amenities.

Lockwood of Waterford describes its services as customizable, with residents selecting options such as housekeeping and meal services according to their needs. The community’s published information distinguishes these services from the apartment’s physical features and the facilities shared by residents. This approach allows the different components of the residential arrangement to be considered separately rather than treating every available service or amenity as part of one fixed package.

The property’s other listed features include controlled-entry access, professional staff, elevators and common areas for recreation and quiet pursuits. Residents have access to a lending library, billiards room, hobby rooms, social clubs and planned activities. These facilities describe the broader independent living environment in which the apartments are located. They also provide context for the range of shared resources available within the community, separate from its pet eligibility requirements.

For households considering an apartment, the published pet terms provide specific criteria to review alongside the available floor plans and service options. The policy identifies the permitted animal types, the one-pet limit, the weight restriction and the applicable charges. These details make the pet requirements more concrete than a general statement that animals are welcome and allow the policy to be understood independently of other apartment features.

Lockwood of Waterford is part of Lockwood Senior Living’s independent living portfolio in Michigan. The community offers private apartment homes alongside shared facilities, dining options, activities and optional services. Its published pet policy outlines the conditions and fees that apply to residents who keep a cat or dog in the community.
