We are comfortable with my in laws move to this community. Everything has worked out pretty well, and they are in good, caring hands. This is a nice community, everyone has been kind and helpful. We know they are being provided with care. All in all this community has worked out well for us, and I would recommend it.

I have been a resident of Heritage Woods for 1 year. I am very pleased with the care I receive. I very much enjoy the other residents and the staff is wonderful. The food and activities are very satisfactory. We go on outings, we have entertainment come. We play games in the dining room and sometimes if our dietary manager has time she will join us.

This is a very good place! Though my mother doesn't love having to live in a place other than home, she is quite satisfied with her stay. My mother doesn't take advantage of participating in activities too often, but there are plenty of opportunities for her to join in. She also gets plenty of opportunities to socialize with residents during meal times. We are all very pleased!
