Heritage Village of Gladstone

My 90 y/o sister moved in the week before Thanksgiving, so she hasn't been there long. She seems to be doing much better than she was before moving in to Heritage. They make sure she takes her meds properly, and the meals are good and balanced--something she wasn't getting before. She likes the staff & they are so kind to her. The interaction with others has been good for her. It may not be as fancy or roomy as soon of the other places, but many of the frills seen in other assisted living homes would not be of use to her. So far so good. The family is relived to have her in a safe, sound environment.

I get a kick out of the picture they show with woman leaning over the couple in suit and dress. there is not any that dress like that for meals. The meals are not elegant simply a meal you would see in a military kitchen such as grub, they do not watch after the residents but instead have them watch after each other . if you have pains it takes a while to get your pain meds or regulars. if you can be there 24 hrs and watch it would be ok but I would not leave anyone there if I couldn't. they do not take actins when medical needs is needed and house dr. is not a good dr.
