My mom moved into Heritage Woods in June and absolutely loves it there. She is suffering from dementia and we thought it might be traumatic for her to relocate. She feels very comfortable, loves to sit outside and downstairs. It is a beautiful facility and they offer amazing activities to keep her busy. The staff are very caring and engaged. I love that there is someone on staff 24 hours a day, as well as nursing staff. I love the three meals a day, plus snacks, activities, different levels of care and options for payment assistance. I highly recommend Heritage Woods.
