PositiveMy aunt will move into Heritage Woods of Sterling. It was very clean, and it was very, very, very well-maintained. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff who gave the tour was knowledgeable, friendly, and caring. The apartment was adequate, and the bathrooms were handicapped accessible and had a walk-in shower.
★★★★★
PositiveThis facility was brighter and cleaner than the other places we visited. They offer quite a variety of activities. They do housekeeping once a week. Value for the money I rated lower because they raised their rates a week before we signed up. A little high, but it is a great pace. I would highly recommend this place, I wish they had one in Dixon, Il.
★★★★★
PositiveI 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.
★★★★★
PositiveThe most significant factor for my relative is the socialization aspect of the independent living environment. There are so many activities to participate in that I often hear the comment that "I'm too busy." There is comfort in knowing that the individual is getting well-balanced meals and is being monitored constantly for health and safety. I feel the staff is compassionate and truly concerned about the residents. I would like to see the resident's apartments kept a little cleaner.
★★★★★
PositiveThe apartments are clean with big bathrooms and walk-in showers. The staff was friendly and willing to answer all my questions. I recommend the community.
★★★★★
