My loved one is currently a resident at Heritage Place and the whole experience has been great so far. The cleanliness and friendliness are great. The staff, care services and meals are also great. I would definitely recommend Heritage Place to others who are looking for Assisted Living options.
The Red Springs Assisted Living is one of the best places. The affordability makes it great. The people that work there are awesome. They are friendly and helpful. My father seems to love the food there. The communication with the staff has been good. It's very easy to communicate with them. The location is good as well. I would absolutely recommend the Red Springs Assisted Living to anyone. It's great.
The reason we gave it a 4 is only because I think everyone can improve somehow, however we have her in a very nice place now. They have been great and I really like it there. The staff is really nice, and the facility is very clean. Also, the memory care is very homey
