I have been a resident of Heritage Woods for 1 year. I am very pleased with the care I receive. I very much enjoy the other residents and the staff is wonderful. The food and activities are very satisfactory. We go on outings, we have entertainment come. We play games in the dining room and sometimes if our dietary manager has time she will join us.
My mother has a beautiful apartment that is spacious and includes a full kitchen and living room. This community allows overnights at her house a few nights out of the year which makes it convenient for out of town guest to make travel arrangements and come visit. She is really pleased with how close everything is to her home like her church and multiple shopping centers. They also have a great club house on campus that they hold many events and activities for there residents.
The single most important matter for my mother has been this: Charter saved her life. Any other issues, such as the quality of the food or the activities, pales in comparison. In early [date removed], it looked like my mother was doomed to living out her days in a nursing home. At first, Charter (then called Cedarhurst), rejected her. A week later, on re-evaluation, they accepted her. Over a period of months, my mother has gone from needing a high level of care to fair amount of independence. She can get around her apartment in a walker, and her life is unmeasurably better than it would have been under any alternative circumstance. All the credit goes to an excellent, friendly, and caring staff. All that said, Charter (when it was Cedarhurst) was quite obviously going through a large number of administrative issues. Things have gotten better in this regard with the new management company. However, the communication back to me from a couple of key people has not been what it should be. The food is fine as institutional food goes. I wonder why institutional food cannot be better. Activities are fine but they don't fit with my mother as well. She would benefit from concerts, presentations on artistic subjects, and things like that.
