We have been very happy with the care my mom has been receiving at Heritage. They are very loving and caring to mom. They keep us informed on how she is doing and if there are any concerns. Thank you to the staff and administrators for all they do, it is greatly appreciated.
My brother has been here for almost three years and he has received excellent care! The staff has gone above and beyond to make sure all his needs were met. The entire staff are very kind and friendly. I’m grateful for the wonderful care.
I liked the fact that the rooms are located on the main level, and there’s no stove in the rooms. Also, the level of care my Dad would receive. Praying he’s able to make it his forever home. Staff is very welcoming and wanted to know my father’s traits and history.
Decisions like this raise many questions. Seeing the environment firsthand can help bring some of those into focus.
A visit gives you space to observe, ask what matters to you, and begin to picture what daily life would look like here.
