I visited this facility

I toured Heritage House and the staff was very good. They seem to have a very experienced staff and they have a caring attitude for all of the residents. I didn't look into the room as they're fully booked. Their memory care unit was smaller, I believe there were a dozen rooms, but I was more interested in the general feelings rather than the specifics of the individual rooms. Heritage House has three clusters of rooms, two of which are assisted living, and the one is memory care. All of the online inform…

My mother lives in the Heritage House. It is a very high end facility, and the price is pretty expensive. It is small. They had like 60 residents in total.

We liked Heritage House. It seemed to be closer knit because it had fewer people. They had a group activities or plain solo socializing. They had a happy hour every Friday, and once a month they had a barbeque for that.

Heritage House is beautiful. It has a small memory care unit, and it has a beautiful dining room and fireplace. They have trips in the van, music, arts, barbecues, and parties. The staff was wonderful. He knows his property, and he’s a great guide. They all seem to be very caring, capable, and kind employees.

Finding Heritage House was the best thing that happened to our family when we needed to find an Assisted Living facility for our mother. Prior to moving to Heritage House she lived at Maravilla and our experience at its best was not good at all. By contrast, there are so many things HH provides in addition to great value (and no hidden costs). With HH we found caring management, kind caregivers, friendly staff, cleanliness, honesty and safety. They not only took care of Mom but our family as well. When Mom passed …

I looked at this several years ago, but I really liked it a lot. We were looking just at independent living at the time, and they didn't have anything available. The do have several different levels of care, including memory care.
