Heritage Woods of Charleston

I have lived here for about a year and a half. I have enjoyed it immensely. Very friendly people live and work here. I recommend it for people 65 years old and older. We get three meals a day plus snacks. We get activities that are great. We have exercise programs for 45 minutes at least 2 times a week. There is also bingo and occasionally we will get entertainment from the community. That is great and very enjoyable. We have sing a longs and bell choir. During the holidays, the staff is wonderful in surprising us with different kinds of activities that we don't do on a regular basis. We also have someone come in to do chair yoga with us. To me, it is a great place to live. The staff is very helpful.

There was a full staff when I came. Soon the "newest" staff began showing a well oiled "machined," But shortly after... We lost and contacted people in the community, lost staff, residents coming in, directors coming and leaving. The quality of directors, food services, resident assistants, housekeeping, maintenance etc. It has been noted that the newest director is involved in community and seeking more resident and getting them. Each day we've got more residents and more activity.

The staff was friendly and helpful with the move in process. Mom received a very warm welcome the minute she walked in the front door, which helped her to feel comfortable in her new surroundings from the get go. The entire staff has been very accommodating and pleasant. Everyone smiles.

They are wonderful! The size is great. It's a small facility so the patient care is better and more direct. And they have a true home cooked meal 2x a day.
