Keep in mind that my rating is just based on a tour. It is clear to me that Heritage Woods provides an excellent environment for their residents with many, many amenities and services, and that the safety of residents is paramount. The facility was beautiful and clean, and everyone was friendly. It was clear that they have a VERY active community of residents, many, many of whom were out and about socializing and doing other activities while I was there. I think for my family-member, it might feel a little bit too nice and a bit formal for her preferences. They do contract with an agency to provide in-house therapy, which is very helpful. I cannot speak to quality of food or care, but everyone seemed happy and things seemed well-run.

We are so grateful to have found Heritage Woods for our mother. When we sold her home and helped her move in, I could not have believed that everything she brought would fit into her apartment as well as it did. The rooms are spacious with plenty of storage. The food is delicious as well, and the options for activities are diverse. But the best feature of HW is the staff. Every single staff person we have interacted with - at the desk, the kitchen, the housekeeping, and maintenance - has been genuinely kind and cheerful. We appreciate the leadership for the comfortable home and service that they provide for our mom. Mom is truly happy to call it home.

Heritage Woods is a great place for Seniors! The kind and caring staff and workers mean so much to us and our family. During my husband's hospital stays and rehabs, we have appreciated the support and encouragement of the residents. We are so grateful for a place that feels like home and family! Thanks to everyone for welcoming us into this Senior Community! It has been a real blessing!!

I am currently a resident of HERITAGE WOODS. I moved in my first day here was October October 3, 2024 the lady at my church who introduced me to this place had been telling me for years before I came here that Michael what you should do is moved to HERITAGE WOODS. Ann was my first administrative assistant at the medical school when I came there on January 1, 1972 I’ve known her a long time. I should’ve been listening to her. I cannot imagine any thing I should’ve done sooner in my life other than come here. I have great respect for the staff. I have great respect for the care they provide. The way the place is run the quality of the people, in the kitchen and in the office. I cannot say anything bad about Heritage Woods.
