Heron House Review

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.

A Great Experience

They provided a great welcome. Our family member is happy there. All the residents seem nice and friendly. The staff are very caring, always smiling and friendly, and they take great care of him. They handle his medications well. He likes the food, which they're very prompt in serving. There's a lot of it, and a lot of options. They also offer plenty of activities. We have no complaints.

It served our needs for my loved one. The stay for my loved one was during the pandemic. I would recommend the community to others for their loved ones. The staff was very nice and was able to get ahold of about my loved one during our stay.

Tour of Heron House

Heron House looked very nice and the tour was excellent. They had a fast response time and were accommodating with setting up a virtual tour. They were not pushy and I really appreciated that. It just came down to location, I needed her closer to me.

They go out of their way to make people feel welcome.

I would recommend to others placing their family here. I liked the friendliness and the room size. My loved one enjoyed the food. She just ended up needing more help than they were able to provide. There was an aide who helped us tremendously in the move-out process. He broke down the bed, and we were ale to move everything out in record time and get her transferred her to a different place.

Our Tour Experience

We thought Heron House was excellent. It was very clean, and I liked the activity room. The girl who took us around was super nice, and I could tell she knew people’s names. They were saying hi back to her, and you could tell she had some involvement and didn’t just sit in the office. She was peppy and seemed to enjoy her job. The rooms and the grounds were nice. When we brought up our loved one's pet, they were genuinely open and enthusiastic. We really liked it here, but the price was steeper, and if our loved one ever needs to convert to Medicaid, they don’t take Medicaid.

The staff members and their care services are really good there, and we do not know much feedback about the food but we do know she is eating well. Our loved one seems to be doing very well there, and is having fun. The value for cost is very good.

My experience

We chose Heron House because it was perfect location to family, the price was decent for what you were getting, and it just seemed like a nice place and everything is on one floor. The rooms here are very nice, my mom has a larger one and it is great. My mom complains a lot about the food, they could use more variety on the menu and they do not cater much to her diet. I also think they could clean up her room a little better and make sure that she changes her clothing and showers more often. Overall I would recommend them to others who are looking.

My experience with Heron House

We chose Heron House at the time because I live out of town and we needed a place quickly. With covid, it was the best choice that we had at the moment. They have not been very good with communication at all. I would really appreciate it if when they made their deductions if I was notified. It would be a little more professional I think. They do have some key staff members here that have been better than most and they will facetime me with my mom due to the covid situation, so they definitely have some good members. I would recommend for short term stays.

My review of Heron House

Heron House was very clean. They did a great job at keeping their residents safe during the pandemic. We chose this facility in the beginning based on the location and a recommendation from a friend who had a good experience here. One issue we had with Heron House was that they are limited with their care, they were only able to provide a fixed level of care. When he needed more, he would have to move out of the facility which caused issues.

Good value and trust worthy.

They are wonderful but they have struggled with staff turn over. It is hard to get good night staff. It is cost-effective. The laundry service has improved. The food is not good, it needs improvement. It is unappealing and unappetizing. They have done a good job with Covid-19 keeping residents safe.

It was not a good tour for us at the Heron House. The staff was not very friendly. We noticed that many were busy on their cell phones. The residents we saw did not look happy. It was not an inviting environment.

Taking Good Care of My Mother

My mother is doing well with her move to this community. They have a good staff in this facility, and they are taking good care of her, and her needs. I'am pleased with all they have done for us. They do a good job with the cleanliness of the community. She is doing well, and this is a community I would recommend overall.

Great staff doing a great job.

Our Aunt of 100+ years was in respite care for 2 weeks at the Heron House for physical therapy. Most comforting was the residents accepted her as family. This only happens in a facility where the staff treats the residents in the same manner. We were very pleased with her stay and if needed we would consider Heron House again.

Great place!

I was really stressed out when moving my Mom. Luckily I was able to get a mover that coordinated the time of the move with me. The director Edie, met me at the front door when I had to drop Mom off and go back to meet the movers. They kept her busy till we came back with her furniture and moved her in. It went so smoothly.The employees are friendly, the food is great. My Mom has alzheimers so she complains about some things, but I don't think that it is the problem she makes it out to be. She doesnt like to join in the activities yet, so I cant really judge those, but from what I see the others seem to enjoy. It's out of my budget range, but I am going to make it work to keep her there. She is doing much better since she is no longer living alone.
