Recent reviews of Independent Living in Amherst County, VA
The Fields of Heritage Green in Lynchburg, VA
4.8

My Mom moved into Heritage Green Assisted Living in January, 2019 and has been very satisfied there. I have been very impressed with the staff and how they care for the residents. There is always some type of activity going on that Mom can participate in to keep herself occupied. The facility is clean and the meals are excellent. Mom has actually gained weight since she has been there which is a good thing. The move into Heritage Green has been a very good experience for all of us. I would highly recommend this facility for anyone looking for an assisted living opportunity.

My mom always comments about how helpful and friendly the staff are, they are just exceptional and bend over backwards. She never hesitates to ask for help because they are always so willing to help. The facility is in a beautiful setting, it is up on a mountain top with great views. We really have had no complaints and would highly recommend them to other families who are looking.
