The Village at Heritage Oaks

Linda

We toured Heritage Oaks, and I was impressed. The staff was very friendly. She took us around on tour and pointed out a lot of things we would be interested in. She was enthusiastic about the place. She showed us where they have cookouts and the dining area.

I enjoyed my tour at Heritage Oaks, I liked it. I like that as a community, they have activities, it's a structured environment, and it's a nice and clean place. The apartment I saw had a nice design, roomy, with its own kitchen and bathroom. It was a nice and spacious apartment. The staffs who accommodated me during the tour were friendly and helpful. I also saw a gym, on Fridays they take the residents wherever they want to go. They would take them out to dinners and come back to pick them up. So I like the way their transportation system was set up, it's overall a nice place.

We went to look at Heritage Oaks. We like the program that they have there with the included meals. We like the apartments. They have a sort of complete program, so we thought it would be a good match with my mother-in-law. The location seems good, and it's in an area that we're looking to move to. We like the diversity of the community there. The staff was great and answered our questions. It was a very good experience. They really met our expectations. We were very happy with everything we saw there. They had a book club, Wii bowling, and excursions. It sounded like they have a lot of opportunities for my mother-in-law to get involved in whatever she feels like when she gets there. It's more than what she has currently, so we saw it as a nice selection of activities.

I toured Heritage Oaks for my sister. The experience of visiting was great. It was a very nice place. The building is convenient, and it's located in the city. I think they had three floors. The staff was very knowledgeable. She was very helpful, and she answered all my questions. She showed me all of the different things that they had to offer in rooms and places. The rooms were nice. They had plenty of room, a lot of space, and nice closet space. The kitchenette has no stove, but you could have a microwave. They provided meals in a cafeteria-like thing, and you could get your meals in a time of day between the hours of 7:00 and I think it was 6:00 or something like that.

I toured Heritage Oaks for my dad. It was not great, but it was OK. The staff was very friendly but not overly helpful, and the place was kind of dark. The rooms were adequate. They keep telling me that they participate in Wii ball, and that was about all. The area looked like a very busy area.

The mix of residents at Heritage Oaks was a little different than the other places I visited. It made you feel like you were in an assisted living community. When I arrived, there were a couple gentlemen sitting outside sunning themselves in their wheelchairs all alone, and that looked sad. It wasn't the place itself, it may be the personality of the people that were there, but it hit me with a deep sadness. The building itself, units and accommodations themselves were lovely and they were as clean and as bright as the other places I've been to. It was just the mix of patients. Everything looked fresh and new. The people however were a little less congregational, and there didn't seem to be that many of them grouping together.
