Everything is a 5, except for maybe the meals, 4 since they lost their long time chef (still really good in comparison to the other 2 places they've been in!). The staff is lovely, the place is super clean (I think it's the only place in town with no current Covid outbreak!). They have been wonderful helping my Dad adjust. Lots of activities if one chooses. I would highly recommend Heritage to anyone!
Value. Better pricing. Smaller facility But that's fine because my brother tends to keep to himself anyway so no need for a larger facility with more people as far as he is concerned.
Truly when I needed a place for mom, this place was a blessing! All the staff is attentive and caring. It is difficult when your parent needs help but, I can rest at night knowing someone is there at a push of a button with a smile and helping hands. Thank you so much for helping us.
