My grandmother was at Palmyra Heritage House. They were great. The staff was amazing. They treated her great for the little period of time she was there. She was in too bad a shape, she didn't participate in any of the activities. I don't think that there was any at the time anyway because of COVID. There was an area where you could play board games. I don't know about a library. It's a good size room with a nice size bathroom and a standup shower. The dining room was very basic, not anything fancy, but the price was very reasonable. You're paying for what you're getting.

I visited this facility
Palmyra Heritage House was good. They had COVID restrictions, but we were able to at least see the living space and have a look at the dining facilities and understand what the protocols were. We were able to see what we needed to. It's a smaller community, so the dining area was set up with some social distancing, but they had the seating they needed for all the residents. The staff member was very accommodating. I actually did a virtual tour with them first and after we decided we wanted to see the facility; she accommodated and made sure we were able to do that. She answered all of our questions and definitely made sure that we were following all of their safety protocols for COVID.

I visited this facility
Palmyra Heritage House was nice but smaller and the rooms are smaller. The biggest drawback is the rooms are more like a room and not an apartment. No kitchen facilities in the room. The person who toured me around was very nice and accommodating. The dining area was small. They have a craft area.
