a nice community

We are happy that our in-laws are happy at Heritage Woods because that was a big concern for us. The are starting to make friends and join in all the activities which helps get them out of their room. They do like their room it is really nice. The first week they loved the meals and everything about it, but now we aren't sure where the disconnect is because the meals can be a hit or a miss and when the food is served it is not as hot as it should be.

Really liked what I saw and actually got back on their waiting list in case another community doesn't work out. The timing they offered did not work with our move in timing we needed for our loved one. At the time trey seemed a tad less organized and the guest rooms had no separation between living and sleeping. The bathroom was right when you walked in. Their shower had no lip which was nice; another community had a lip which is unnerving. Why would ANY facility for old folks build a non-walk in shower?!?!? It take some fore thought and extra planning but no old person needs to step in and out of a shower Heritage Woods was homey and the dietician seemed more on par. VC dining is not good and their chef seems less than interested in working hard.

Tour of Heritage Woods

Our tour experience was very unorganized. We showed up for our appointment and it took half an hour of waiting before they found someone to show us around. The facility was not very clean and the staff were not friendly.

our experience

The community is neat and clean and the staff is very helpful and friendly. I would like to see an improvement with the food, it is the only thing my loved one does not like. I would recommend this community to others based on my experience.

I would highly recommend

We chose Heritage Woods because they accept medicaid and also it is very close to my home. My mom and dad have a 1 bedroom and it is adequate for what they need. The staff have been really good with communication, they have a family app that they use where they upload pictures and you get PDFs on what was going on as things were changing. Their doctor that comes in has been wonderful with response time, if I have concerns she calls or emails back right away. I would highly recommend them to others looking.

I would recommend.

They are meeting all my mom's needs. The food service could be a little better quality. The studios are pretty small. The one-bedroom unit is of a good size. They have outdoor space for the residents. The staff is helpful and accommodating. They have done a great job keeping everyone safe during Covid-19.

Upon arrival 2 residents smoking on the patio at the entrance to the building. Did not have feeling of good maintenance of facility. Tour guide not exceptional at marketing of the facility. Did not ask me to sit down and review details of pricing, just gave me the information. Not impressed.

Happy experience and love the community

Love the fact that they take Medicaid when my grandma needs it. The apartments are lovely and they have a lot of fun activities. It’s a warm place with a wonderful staff.

Great community!!

I have no complaints about the tour I had taken of this community. When I had looked at it for my mother they seemed to be expanding and adding on a few additions which I thought was great. They just did not have an insurance plan that my mother could use down the road once her money had run out.

This was our second choice!!

The staff I met during my tour was nice. The community seemed clean and the residents seemed happy. We chose another community where the staff just seemed a little more professional and spent more time talking to us.

If my memory serves me right, this is the facility that has "funds" available via Medicaid. This is my choice for that very reason BUT also I loved the atmosphere and people.
