Had a wonderful experience this past winter. Had the opportunity to dine with several residents. Shared incredible stories and experiences. Aivy Ho coordinated the whole thing. She really cares about the Heatherwood community and its residents. I would definitely relive the experience again, if ever offered.

I had to place my dad in memory care here temporarily while I moved and the staff was amazing. Meredith went above and beyond to help this transition, I don't know what I would have done without her help. My dad was always well kept, entertained, and happy. The NP, nurse, and all assistants were so nice, helpful, and accommodating. The food and activities were excellent. Highly recommended.

We visited and my mother in law loved this place. The staff are friendly and welcoming. We had a dinner there and the food was amazing with the staff being super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend because even the residents seem happy and friendly as well.
