I would give a 0 if I could. Had an appt.and called ahead to confirm. They had no appt written down. Person answering the phone was the one I spoke to to make the appt. They have no administrator, no one that can answer questions. Will not even consider this place now

My wife has been in this facility the last 18 months and she will continue to be there for quite some time. I have Grown to know the staff here from the administrator did the office people to the nurses to the CNAs and on Down the Line. I know that other people have their own opinion about places where their loved ones are at but in my opinion Gibson City Heritage Health here is one of the top notch places that I have seen throughout the state. And trust me when I say that I have seen and been in places that should not even be open. When I walk into the building here I feel right at home. Staff is very friendly from Hi how are you ,to your wife is doing fine. it takes a lot of of me to trust anybody with my wife what she has been through. I can honestly say that I can trust this place about 99 .9% of the time... I can leave Heritage Health knowing that my wife is going to be taken care of in the proper and respectful way that she deserves. If anybody is trying to find a place to put their loved ones when the time is needed , I strongly recommend Heritage Health. You will not be sorry. From Amanda to the nurses to the CNAs to everybody on Down the Line peon do a fantastic job with everybody there.
