Warm Hearth Village

Warm Hearth Village has all levels of care. It has cottages for independent living, an assisted living unit, nursing homes, and a memory care unit. It's in a very nice wooded area. There are a large number of people living there. The person who showed us around was very helpful. The place is about 25 years old so it reflects the décor of that period, and there is darker wood.

Warm Hearth Village is a retirement community like no other. With 220 acres, I love the beautiful surroundings. It feels like you are far away, but still close everything at the same time.

Do your research before selecting and purchasing a unit for a loved one at the "non-profit" Warm Hearth Village. They talk a good game, but in fact--there is minimal care or oversight. A residents can end up living in squalor amidst piles of hoarded junk, while WHV callous staff quite literally chuckle about his or her living conditions. Meanwhile the resident's initial "investment" erodes for a decade, while simultaneously the resident is paying the high fees due monthly to the "non-profit village". THINK TWICE and move once. Evaluate other options (like a condominium, which will not LOSE money and likely has lower fees). AVOID this place.

They were very proud of the new recreation building that they have put up at Warm Hearth Village. They were in a dense wooded area, so it was quite dark and sheltered. The room that we saw was very small. It was going to be extremely difficult to get into because you can start out with a full independent living home, and they had sort of a step down thing where you can be independent living and then assisted living and then long term nursing care or dementia, so they had quite a long waiting list, and I didn't have that time luxury. It is about 25 years old now, except for their brand new building where they have their main offices, and they have a swimming pool, a workout room, a room where they can do like yoga or exercises, a nice chapel where they can also have performances, and I know they have a very extensive activity program, but we knew that it wasn't going to be for us because we just couldn't wait that long. We only talked to one person from the staff, and she was fine, but not very positive about having anything anytime soon. I know it's got a great reputation.
