My parents located here about a year ago. Their apartment is updated, modern and in good repair. The whole facility seems well taken care of. If my parents are in need of assistance, a phone call and a little coordination gets it done. All the staff and residents have been friendly and helpful, making my folks feel welcome! Many thanks.

My wife and I have been at Heritage since 1999. I came and served the company as a chaplain. When I retired we enjoyed the community here so much we have retired and now are blessed to be 2 of the residents here. Sam - Dee Shreffler

I found things to be inconsistent. Help not provided when told that help would be there for you. Very restrictive lifestyle. Money taken from account when not approved several times. Many of the Policies verbal told Beverly told were changed. Very unhappy. Enter at your own riskDates being changed. Refusing to refund anything
