I will always be so appreciative of the service my wife received while at heritage park. They were not only very professional, but I felt true compassion from all the staff. I felt she was safe and that her individual needs were met with sincere dedication to her well being. Thankyou, staff.

I was peasantly surprised that the place looked so nice. And when l went into the private room where my friend was l was a little disappointed, because it looked so drab. But when l asked him how the food was he said very good and with that answer l was totally shocked, because for years and years the food has been notoriously horrible. When l asked him what he had for dinner he said ‘egg salad sandwich on whole wheat bread’ well l thought how amazing that Heritage could make something that my friend loved.because he is a real Foodie. So my opinion has changed about Heritage.

Wonderful to visit the residents there. They seem to be happy and the staff is attentive. Marilyn Baker’s view is blocked by a white van parked outside her window. Could you address that and have only low profile vehicles park in that end spot? Thank you
