I'm very well pleased with Heron Place. The staff is very good, very open and very friendly and they do their work. It's a small group, which I like. There's not a whole lot of people there. They have a courtyard in the middle of the apartments, which is well kept. They check on my sister. Sometimes they're a little slow in getting her physical needs met, but I understand that the staff is kind of low right now. They need more staff members.
My sister said the food is pretty good, and she likes it. I ask her every day what she has to eat. She is limited in what she can do because she has macular degeneration, so she doesn't do a whole lot with the activities. She plays bingo a little bit and hangman, and she goes and listens if there are special groups. There was a couple of ladies that came and sang and she went down and listened to them. She enjoys the church service that they have Sunday mornings when they have it. The layout of her room is very good. It's open, so she can get around in her wheelchair well. She's pleased with it. I like the staff. They're very friendly. I think she gets the care that she needs most of the time.

I visited this facility
The gal at Heron Place was really good, informing us of everything that was going on there. She was informative, but we just didn't connect with her so much as we did at the other facility. That facility itself was really clean and the bedrooms were nice. We saw residents playing dominoes and the dining area was nice. They have big yard areas where each person would be allowed if they wanted to. The rooms all have windows looking out to the outdoors and that space could be decorated with things that were interesting to them.

I visited this facility
Heron Place was a very nice place. They have room for 39 people, but they only had 20 at that time. The care seems like it would be very, very good, and the food would be excellent. It's small, and I think the people residing there would get a lot more one-on-one contact. Of the four places that we visited, we liked it the best. They don't take Medicaid, but they take VA benefits. Since my dad was in the Navy, I'm trying to get him qualified through the VA. I didn't try the food, but someone came up to us when we were in the dining room and said, "The food here is excellent." I'm just taking their word for it.
The activities person had a whole room of projects that she had the residents do if they wanted, plus they have their bingo and very large cards. My mom is blind and has macular degeneration; she'd have a hard time reading smaller cards. She might have been able to read those.
It looked like a nice place. It's secluded. It's at the end of a road. We lived in this area for 30-40 years, and we didn't even know the place was there. I met two of the staff and both of them were very, very friendly and accommodating. I was very pleased with them. The facility was very, very nice and very well cared for. The grounds were very nice. They had a beautiful courtyard, which was very well kept. We really liked the place. It was excellent.
