Heron House

It's cozy and has a nice library. They need to improve on the food. For activities I don't know if they have an ice cream social.

My loved one is a resident at Heron House. They lack in many categories. They don't have enough help, NO caring workers. Not experienced to take care of residents.

We had to move my 92 year old mother into Heron House as caring for her became just too much for me and my family as much as we tried to keep her at home. It was one of the hardest decisions my family and I had to make in our lives. After feeling guilty at first, we realize it was the best thing we could have done for her and for us. She is more active and feels a sense of purpose while having an amazing care staff to look after her, giving us the peace of mind we need. We come and go as we please to visit and to our surprise, when we invite her out she politely has declined because she has settled in so well. Thank you the the Heron House Care Team! Truly the best!

So they said she would be assigned someone who would pop in frequently and see how she was doing and remind re: activities and that didn't happen so she basically only had interaction at meals as she never knew activities were happening.

It was a wonderful place for my brother, he had Parkinson's disease. He passed away there buy he loved it, and so did the family. Would recommend it highly. [name removed]was wonderful. Explained every thing always. Staff was great also

Heron House Sarasota has turned out to be a wonderful home for our mom! We were hesitant like many family members are, to place mom in assisted living. but it was truly the best decision we made! Mom has resided at Heron House Sarasota for 1 1/2 years, and we are constantly impressed at how caring the staff is, the perfect living conditions and so many different activities offered for the various levels of individuals that reside there! Under the direction of the current Executive Director ([name removed]) who is extremely caring and efficient, we have received nothing but prompt care & assistance from every employee we deal with. Naming just a few, the Director of Resident Services ([name removed]), Director of Activities ([name removed]), Nurse/Medical Administrator ([name removed]), Front Desk Coordinator ([name removed]), etc. are all wonderful! Seriously consider Heron House Sarasota for your loved ones!

The community was clean, friendly, and helpful for our loved one that was here. The residents were friendly. They provided meals and activities to engage with and be able to socialize with others. This is a community I would recommend you look into for your loved ones and see if it would be a good fit.

Heron House has been phenomenal in everything from the very first day. They helped make the transition seamless, we can visit anytime. Her room is plenty large enough for her things to fit. They keep in contact on things so we're aware, and the community is friendly and positive.

I would tell others looking into Heron House to be aware of the level of care that is necessary for your loved one. Also - make more than one evaluation. Based off of our experience with this facility, I would not recommend them to others.

The staff at Heron House are comforting, supportive, and encouraging. It's reasonably priced. The location is conveniently close to where I live, which makes it easier to come and visit. I didn't realize how important that factor was until we were already established there. [name removed] is an excellent executive director. She is a tireless, caring worker. I would encourage anyone to at least give Heron House consideration.

This facility is amazing! I chose it primarily for the value and location. I've been very impressed with all aspects of the place. The campus is beautiful, always clean and non odorous. They do housekeeping and laundry weekly. Never any mix ups or issues. The rooms are all lovely and do not remind one of a prison cell or dorm room. I can and have recommended this facility to others.

You were all great there. [name removed] was incredible. I just flew down from New York yesterday to see my dad at Heron House. I got to see him for 90 minutes and then put him to bed. A few hours later he passed away. I don't know how much time to talk but I will say I would not have been able to get him into Heron house or see all the other options available without [name removed] help and I am very grateful to her and you all for that.

We moved our mom to Heron House this past year. This has been the best decision for her. We could not be more happy with her care. All her health needs are met. It is a joy to see her engaging with other residents. The staff are very warm, and genuinely show they care. Thank you for loving my mom! Seeing her so happy, and cared for means everything to us.

It is a nice place to live. The staff are compassionate and friendly. Some of the activities available include bingo, games, movement activities, and more for the residents to choose from to participate in.

My Mom recently moved to Heron, after an injury determined she was no longer able to live alone. It was a worrisome process to find an Assisted Living facility that would meet our expectations: that Mom is well taken care of (Physically & Mentally), she is comfortable in her new surrounding and the facility is maintained clean. All our expectations have been met to date! She it cared for properly and as described she would be. It's a relief to know that now, Mom has her medications administered timely and she receives 3 square meals a day! There are continual daily activities and Mom is participating and socializing more now, than in years! Most important is the Staff at HH Sarasota, whom I feel all work very hard. Separately, I applaud Suzanne Leslie (Manager at Heron) who was extremely helpful in explaining guidelines to us, prior to Mom moving. She has gone out of her way to ensure Mom's needs, and our expectations, are continually met!
