I love the huge fireplaces at Heritage Woods. The room was nice. The person during the visit was very nice, answered all my questions and very friendly. There was an exercise class going on while I was there.

Heritage Woods was OK. I didn't get a great feeling, but it was OK. The apartments were old. They provide cables, and all the utilities are included except for the telephone. I wasn't impressed with the staff, and overall, the place was just old.

Heritage Woods would be our top choice. It seemed to be more up-to-date. It was more like someone is going to live in a hotel versus an assisted living place. They have rec room and they have the overall atmosphere of walking into a very open and well-lit atrium type area. It was like checking into a hotel.

I like Heritage Woods. I like the food a lot and they have a good variety. The place is nice and they keep it clean. I've got a very nice place with a kitchen, living space, two bedrooms, and two baths. The grounds are very good and they have a lot of nice foliage and flowers. They have a good walkway and the facility is nicely-kept. They have some people who do a good job. They have good exercise equipment and people who come in and play music for us. The place is better than most and is a lot more reasonable than the place I used to be at.

Heritage is a great place. My grandmother lives there and she is very happy. I love to visit her there. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. The staff are always kind and helpful.

This facility has really gone down hill. Upper management is slowly running the building as well as the employees in the ground. With residents that have lived here years moving to other senior living quarters. I'm lost as to why not one has stepped in and removed the sitting director from her position. Which I'd like to add is often spent out back smoking with Dining Service Director. They can be found running anyone's name in the ground. From residents to employees alike. No one is safe. Some residents are held with a higher regard than others. Before moving Mom out, I'd noticed the eye rolling that certain residents were receiving from upper management in the dining room. That was literally our breaking straw. No two people are the same. Nor are their paths in life but, I don't feel anyone should be held to any higher of a standard than the next. For these reasons alone, I speak my truth.

Heritage Woods was like a nice hotel. Their facility was great for an assisted living place. Their dining hall was beautiful and gave the residents food options. It was awesome. The offered entertainment, a lot of hands-on stuff, and exercises like Zumba.

I’m at Heritage Woods now. I would rate them very high; they’re a very good facility. Their dining room and kitchen facilities are superior than any place that I have ever been. They have a wonderful, marvelous staff who really take care of the people, and they’re very happy. Heritage Woods is very friendly, very caring, and it is an excellent place to live.

Heritage Woods was really nice. The atmosphere was good. The rooms were neat. My stepfather lived there for a long time. They have a library. They have cards and exercise groups. The staff seemed to be happy.

When Heritage Woods assessed my dad, they thought his memory was bad and that he needed to be in a care facility versus assisted living. However, the facility was very clean and very nice. The people seemed very happy, but it is more for people who can get around a lot better and don't have mental problems like dementia. They have no security for people who pose a flight risk. They can come and go as they please. Their activities were fairly typical -- for instance, they had Bingo, different outings and things like that. The rooms were very nice and large with plenty of storage area. They were very like much like an apartment minus the kitchen. What I like best about this community was the openness and airiness as well as the friendliness of the staff with whom I spoke. They should consider adding a secure area for people that do have dementia.

I think that Heritage Hills does a good job of taking care of residents. The facility is not ideal; it does seem a bit sterile and regimented. The building does smell vaguely of disinfectant and urine, but this is to be expected. The staff do go out of their way to provide entertaining events for the residents. When I visited my mother, there was live music in one of the parlors after lunch. My Mom seemed to really enjoy that. The outside areas are very well kept, and there are ample benches for sitting outside to enjoy the sunshine. The staff seems to be very caring. The attendants always address my Mom by name, and I notice that they are very well acquainted with other residents. I feel as thought the staff are encouraging, as well. Even if my Mom does not feel like participating in an activity, the staff members do try to encourage her, and offer assistance for her to go.

This facility seemed as if it was well run, however I did not see the entire facility, and I cannot comment on every aspect of it. I worked with some of the older residents; those who were in a later stage in their life, and needed just a little more help to get by. I played piano for a few of them, and afterwards we played bacce ball. The patients seemed very happy, and the workers were glad to have us help out. The facility seemed well staffed, well maintained, and overall, the morale seemed high. Again, I cannot comment on aspects of the assisted living facility outside of what I experienced that afternoon, however I would recommend this facility for elderly in the winston salem area. Happy Retirement!

Heritage Woods was a very nice place with a very nice reputation. I had a very nice unit there. They had some activities, but I did not get involved. The employees were excellent, and the food was good. The residents were as nice as they could me be to me.
