I visited this facility

I visited Heritage Woods of Mt. Vernon for my mom, and it was lovely. However, they did not have a memory care there. They were helpful. The rooms were very nice. The place was very clean. They have patio. The dining room was big and clean.

Nothing but positive

They offer activities daily. I have had a few meals there and I would say the food is good overall. The staff are amazing. They are so friendly and on top of things. The community is clean and they do accept medicaid. I would recommend this community.

It All Worked Out

Like any new community there were a couple of issues but the staff and I talked about it and it has improved. The staff are accommodating, friendly, and helpful to all residents. My aunt had friends living her so that made it easier to get comfortable and likes to socialize. Her meals are pretty good and I feel she is getting good care and I feel she is secure here.

Horrible

Female family members are not safe here. This place has forever changed our lives. I am a Registered Nurse and what happened to my loved one in their care is horrific.

Home Away from Home

I feel that the marketing staff at Heritage Woods went out of their way to accommodate my aunt at a time in her life when she needed a place to live when her health was failing and was unable to safely live alone. Being 3 hours away from her, I am satisfied she has the quality care that she needs and the privacy that she desires.
