Heatherwood

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

Heatherwood has everything that my mom needs. The staff is taking good care of her. My mom said the food is good. Her room is always clean, neat, and tidy. They have a rec room, where everybody gathers. We can go into her room and visit in there as well. They had a little concert, and somebody came in and played the guitar. They sat in the rec room and listened to that. They will also watch movies there. They have given my mom coloring books, so that she could color if she wanted to. There is an alarm on every door…

I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My husband was a resident of Heatherwood for seven years. During that time he was treated with the utmost care and compassion. Being privately owned, the facility provides personal care rather than the impersonal care given by corporate owned facilities. While the actual building may not have all the bells and whistles that corporate facilities provide, which are eye candy for the families as opposed to enhancing the care of the actual residents, the facilities are set up for the comfort of the residents and ease o…

Worth Checking Out

They accepted my loved one from the hospital and were able to accommodate us quickly. They did require a 24-hour aide at first, but only for 3 days, and they only quarantined him for 3 days.

I visited this facility

We liked Heatherwood and we are hoping everybody will be friendly. The staff seemed very competent, and we have a good feeling about it. They seem to have a lot of activities going on. They have a salon, a rec room area, TV rooms, and sitting areas.

I visited this facility

The exterior of Heatherwood looked fine. It was in a convenient location, but there was a lot of construction going on inside. It was a shared facility, so there were no individual or semi-private bathrooms. I didn't care for the communal shower rooms with 8 shower heads in it. It wasn't a lock-down facility. The staff was okay, there was a group activity going on, but it wasn't in the kind of area I was looking for.

They had a chart showing a fall risk that the caregivers can take around to check on the residents. Once they checked on them they entered a code and their initials to show they did check on them. The people were really nice. This community was the farthest away.
