5.0

Heritage Hills is an extremely warm and inviting community with friendly and engaging residents. Many opportunities to find your individual nitch and feel embraced. A chef prepared daily meal is an additional bonus.

College Walk Retirement Ctr in Brevard, NC
4.0

This community does offer a lot of activities and amenities. This feels like an upscale community. They have a formal dining room where the wait staff take your order and then bring the meal to you. They offer computers for the residents to use. The staff were friendly and helpful. This community is higher in price. I would recommend taking a look at this community.

Brasstown Manor in Hiawassee, GA
5.0

I have visited this community many times while visiting my friends. I love the option of starting on their Independent Living and when/if I need more assistance, I can move down to their Assisted Living. The staff has always been professional and pleasant. My friends love where they live and I can't wait till I join them there!
