Community Reviews
Great place!
reviewed on: 03/02/2015 by MarleneI was really stressed out when moving my Mom. Luckily I was able to get a mover that coordinated the time of the move with me. The director Edie, met me at the front door when I had to drop Mom off and go back to meet the movers. They kept her busy till we came back with her furniture and moved her in. It went so smoothly.The employees are friendly, the food is great. My Mom has alzheimers so she complains about some things, but I don't think that it is the problem she makes it out to be. She doesnt like to join in the activities yet, so I cant really judge those, but from what I see the others seem to enjoy. It's out of my budget range, but I am going to make it work to keep her there. She is doing much better since she is no longer living alone.
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 experience
reviewed on: 04/27/2021 by anonymousWe chose Heron House because it was perfect location to family, the price was decent for what you were getting, and it just seemed like a nice place and everything is on one floor. The rooms here are very nice, my mom has a larger one and it is great. My mom complains a lot about the food, they could use more variety on the menu and they do not cater much to her diet. I also think they could clean up her room a little better and make sure that she changes her clothing and showers more often. Overall I would recommend them to others who are looking.
They go out of their way to make people feel welcome.
reviewed on: 06/21/2021 by anonymousI would recommend to others placing their family here. I liked the friendliness and the room size. My loved one enjoyed the food. She just ended up needing more help than they were able to provide. There was an aide who helped us tremendously in the move-out process. He broke down the bed, and we were ale to move everything out in record time and get her transferred her to a different place.
A Great Experience
reviewed on: 08/24/2021 by JenniferThey provided a great welcome. Our family member is happy there. All the residents seem nice and friendly. The staff are very caring, always smiling and friendly, and they take great care of him. They handle his medications well. He likes the food, which they're very prompt in serving. There's a lot of it, and a lot of options. They also offer plenty of activities. We have no complaints.
