Heartland Home

Out of the couple of times I visited Heartland Home Residential, it was very, very quiet. It’s spotlessly clean. The facility has a license for 6 patients and 4 of them have Alzheimer's. These women sit on a couch all day long and they’re not up and doing anything, so my mom is lonely. In that respect, it was probably not a good choice. She basically sits in her chair and we finally had to say if they can at least get her up, get her walking and get her moving. She’s still able to walk, and they don’t even do that. She likes breakfast and lunch, but she does not like the dinners at all. She says it’s processed and packaged food. There aren't many home-cooked meals. I see fruit and vegetables when I’m there, but as far as the main course, she says she sees a lot of things come out of a package. The owner is absolutely wonderful. She comes in and talks to my mom quite a bit. She is just delightful. I have never had a problem with the staff. They’ve always been very, very nice and caring, but the main problem is that they don’t do any activities at all.
