The Village at Heritage Park

I thought The Village at Heritage Park was a very nice facility. The staff who assisted me was very professional and very informative. The place was clean. It was a nice place. It was very quiet. They had other stuff going on. The dining area was very clean and set up. All the tables were covered with tablecloths, and it was just very nice. The layout of the rooms was very nice.

We're at The Village at Heritage Park. Everybody's friendly in the office area. We haven't participated in the dining areas yet. The facility is very nice. It's a two-bedroom, two-bath structure, and we've had occasion to call the office for trouble. We had a smoke detector that was going off and needed a battery. Also, we had a problem with the washing machine, and they sent a man out and everything was taken care of satisfactorily. They pick up our trash. We just set it up at the end of the driveway and they pick it up daily, so no problem. They have a nightly happy hour, which we have not been able to attend yet. They have a program for $200 a month and you can get one meal a day if you want to purchase one. Otherwise, you can just buy a meal, which is $10. We're happy to be here. They have a library and a barbershop/beauty salon.

Disappointed Senior

In the course of almost two weeks, I called the Village two times and left a message on the website to check the availability and price of cottages. Each time I was told by a staff member that there was only one person who could answer my questions and that person was out and would call me back. I never got a call or email or other contact. If this is the way they treat seniors, then I'm not interested.

My father already put down a deposit at The Village at Heritage Park. It's the only one that actually offers an independent living. They are in a little duplex, and then they get to eat their meals in the main dining room. He will get himself a little golf cart and then go over to the main dining room. They can participate in all the other functions there. I love the community. We actually had lunch there, and the food was very good. It is very bright and cheery. The staff is really good. When I'm in my 80s, I may consider something like that for myself. They have granite countertops and a wonderful floorplan. The two-bedroom, two-bath came with a washer and dryer, refrigerator, stove, microwave, a little patio, and pets are allowed. It was really good. It did not smell. They don't have to worry about cooking dinner. It's $200 per person for a meal ticket, one meal a day, so they can decide whether they want lunch or dinner, but they can go over to the main dining room for $200 a month. That's only like $6.50 a meal, and it was very good. I would recommend this facility. When you're in this independent living it includes all the utilities, water, electricity, cable TV, and garbage. The only thing it does not include is WiFi. They can put out a bag of garbage every day at the end of their driveway and someone will pick it up. It was very clean. They've got an outdoor firepit, barbecue, and shuffleboard. They do not have a swimming pool, but they've got a little exercise room, a theater, a hair salon, and car service going to the grocery stores or to doctors' appointments, and that's all available for the independent living as well. The staff was very good. She bought our lunch and everything. They actually have two menu options. They have one for diabetic and one for regular, and I thought that was awesome.

I selected The Village at Heritage Park for myself. It's a beautiful place. We had lunch there and the dining room was lovely. The manager who handled my account was just so professional. The place is fairly new. I think it's within five years old and it's spacious. Everyone was very pleasant and very helpful. The dining room was lovely and very well-appointed. There were tablecloths and everything, and the service was excellent. They have all the usual amenities. They have the library, the craft room, the exercise room, and the movie room. They have a happy hour lounge. They had some beautiful outside seating areas in the gardens. The lobby is large with a lot of seating areas if you want to just hang out there. Everything seems very well organized. Everyone that I met was just wonderful. Everything that they had was very tasty and well prepared. They have optional menus like you can get a diabetic menu or a regular menu. I think that's very nice because a lot of places don't accommodate that. They have several choices at each meal. It's like a restaurant. It was spotless.

My mother will be moving to The Village at Heritage Park. I like that they had a private room with shared bathrooms, which is kind of nice. Most of the places I found either had shared rooms or private rooms, and this one was kind of semi-private. It also has a very good day-to-day plan of activities and structure. I like the fact that it's a kind of a loop where my mom can wander around and never get lost. Every door is locked and has alarms. The staff was super friendly and very educated. Any questions I had they had an answer. They were very, very pleasant. They have some days where they listen to music. They do arts and crafts. They have a movie day and ice cream socials. They also have breakfast, lunch, and dinner structured. They do dinner in one room, and they had activities in another room. Everything was just nice. It felt like home for them. It was very clean and easy to get to. Everywhere I look, there was always staff, so it wasn't like they were all alone. At the same time, they weren't micromanaging them.
