Tour of Heron House
reviewed on: 08/06/2021 by anonymousHeron House looked very nice and the tour was excellent. They had a fast response time and were accommodating with setting up a virtual tour. They were not pushy and I really appreciated that. It just came down to location, I needed her closer to me.
Down home comfort!
reviewed on: 07/30/2013 by Thelma F.When I toured Heron House I was impressed with the fact that it felt like home. The staff was extra nice and welcomed me with open arms. As a new resident, I wanted to tell families that I came from living in my own home all of my life. I searched high and low for weeks until I found the perfect place for me. It was important to me that the community I choose was comfortable, clean and was able to help me with my medicine. I also wanted to stay busy. I am not one to sit around. Since I have been here I have made friends through the garden club, card games, movie nights and next week I am signed up to go fishing at one of the local piers. I can't wait! I am so glad I am here!
Attuned to Assisted Living
reviewed on: 01/09/2014 by SonIn terms of cleanliness, people at that age with declining abilities have a tough time keeping clean. With my father, his cleanliness is no where what it used to be, so unless you are going to follow him around, there's no way to keep it sparking clean. The people have been very welcoming and friendly. They do variety of activities. My father likes the musical things, he likes the singers and those types of activities. He loves the food! The one thing that I find somewhat troubling is the communication to the family. They always call if something bad happens, but I would like it if there was a contact person that I could call to see if anything good has happened. For Christmas, I would have been interested in sending Thank You cards to the staff, but I had no way of knowing what is available or appropriate. The families are not as much in the loop of the day to day activities. I was an educator for more than 40 years and parents would call me if they had a question, and it would be nice to see that available at the community. Other than that, our whole experience has been a positive one. We really like that it's all on one level, and the community really specializes in assisted living. My dad called me one time to tell me that he couldn't get over the fact that they would let him walk right out the front door! He was expecting some sort of prison, but it's not like that at all. We are very pleased.
My review of Heron House
reviewed on: 11/12/2020 by AnonymousHeron House was very clean. They did a great job at keeping their residents safe during the pandemic. We chose this facility in the beginning based on the location and a recommendation from a friend who had a good experience here. One issue we had with Heron House was that they are limited with their care, they were only able to provide a fixed level of care. When he needed more, he would have to move out of the facility which caused issues.
Good value and trust worthy.
reviewed on: 08/24/2020 by AnonymousThey are wonderful but they have struggled with staff turn over. It is hard to get good night staff. It is cost-effective. The laundry service has improved. The food is not good, it needs improvement. It is unappealing and unappetizing. They have done a good job with Covid-19 keeping residents safe.
