Review for Heatherwood Community

Heatherwood is has been a wonderful experience for my father. He's very happy there. He really likes the staff, outings and the activities. The staff is attentive, listens, treats residents with respect and dignity. The staff, including nurses, respond right away when I call. Heatherwood is definitely worth it and the only place I would have my father be a resident.

Our Experience

My loved one is currently a resident at Heatherwood Community and most everything has been very good for her so far. The care services have been very good, the nurses have responded to my loved one's needs/requests. The value for cost has been good. My loved one has not participated in the activities unfortunately, so I am not sure about those. Overall, Heatherwood Community is a good residence with responsive staff- especially in the dining room.

Review for Heatherwood Community

I would say overall we are very satisfied with our choice of Heatherwood. We choose it because of its location, so close to family, the lower cost to other communities we reviewed, and that it checked off many of our desired requirements.

Wonderful community

Heatherwood is such a wonderful community. The staff here is very great with every resident. Always go above and beyond for them. There is always something for a resident to do. Puzzles, pool table, movie theater, library, gym and there’s always an activity. The meals are great. The culinary staff does an amazing job.

Highly recommend!!

My parents moved into Heatherwood a month ago and I could not be more thankful for the wonderful staff here. The apartments and common areas are lovely, the food is healthy and delicious, the facility is so clean and well maintained, but above all else it is all the people who work here who truly make a difference. From the admin team and clinical staff to all those working tirelessly behind the scenes, they are truly kind and caring and work so hard to make all the residents feel at home and well-cared for. Thank you for all you do; I am so grateful my parents moved here.

Warm and Welcoming

So far this has been sufficient since my loved one after moving in to the community. The staff isn't always responding promptly to the residents call buttons. It would be nice to have management have a discussion with the staff about responding to the call buttons in a timely manner. Overall it has been a great experience for us.

Incredibly caring staff

Everyone at Heatherwood is genuinely lovely and caring. From the dining staff to the housekeeping team to the nursing staff, everyone ensures that the residents are treated with dignity and respect. There is a wide variety of activities, like the always popular bingo, cardio drumming, and lifetime learning classes taught by professors and other experts. On-site physical therapy and spa services, as well as bus transportation to appointments, makes Heatherwood a very convenient place to live.

Ups and downs

The administration staff has completely changed and they have had trouble keeping good help. The residents are all lovely and the servers are great. The nursing care has been pretty good and consistent as well, but the CNAs change constantly. It is practically a whole new staff. There have been ups and downs during our experience so far, but in general my loved one seems to be happy here. He loves the gym and the exercise classes that they provide.
