The Heritage Downtown was the friendliest senior facility that I visited and after living here for a year, I still feel that way, both the residents and the staff. Add to that, exceptional food, day in and day out. Of course the housekeeping, maintenance are great.

I have been a resident here at the Heritage since January 2021. The feeling of comfort was a big factor in my decision to move to Heritage. The staff is very attentive, helpful, and friendly. The dining experience far exceeded my expectations. The activities are structured for all levels of capability. The residents are very friendly and helpful in assisting other residents. This is a community I would highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
about The Heritage Downtown

The Heritage Downtown offers 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored The Heritage Downtown 10 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
