HeatherWood Assisted Living & Memory Care

There was nothing that I didn't like about HeatherWood Assisted Living & Memory Care. They have a restaurant club where they either go out to eat occasionally or have food brought in, entertainment, and they do a lot of craft work. They sent a plate of homemade cookies home after our tour and explained how you can pay money down, how you can get on a waitlist, the different levels of care when you enter, and what they recommend. They were just very informative. My next-door neighbor had a stroke and she's there now, so I visit her once in a while, and she settled in easily and said the food is wonderful. I've been to some of their events as a guest and it's just nice as well. The facility was kind of L-shaped so depending on the sun, you had a choice of sitting in the shade at different times of the day. They also have a beauty shop and apparently, they owned a little bit of property right next to that patio and they had someone gardening there. They gave some of the produce to the facility so there was fresh vegetables and stuff that they cooked in their kitchen. I thought that was pretty good.

I liked HeatherWood Assisted Living & Memory Care the best of all the places I went to. I just thought everything was so nice, clean, and bright, and it didn't feel like I was in a nursing home environment. The food looked good, it was nice, they had a patio area that overlooked a dog park and a garden area. All the people there looked so happy. The only downside was they had limited memory care, so there was a long wait to get in there which could be a problem for people if they want to move. I think there are only 8 beds for memory care

I initially wanted HeatherWood Assisted Living & Memory Care because I love that place, but my mother couldn't go there because it was registered as an RCAC. (It needed to be registered as a CBRF.) It does have a CBRF wing but that was full, so I couldn't go in there, and that really discouraged me. Nevertheless, I love everything about it. It has a beautiful garden, and it is a small, homey, down-to-earth, family-type deal. It's very good, and it's my number-one choice. Price-wise, it's much better than others, plus they promise to never go up in price in your lifetime, which is unbelievable.

We have moved into HeatherWood. It has been very positive. We like the apartments and the place itself is attractive. The people have been very nice to us. We are happy. I'm in the independent living and my wife is in level 2. We've been here for two weeks now. The food is good, a nice variety. At lunch, they have a very good salad bar as well. They have daily exercise, and they have a chapel on Wednesday. They have a variety of activities in the afternoon usually at least one every day from a trip to Walmart to celebrating a birthday to bringing a dog in for a visit. We are new to this but we are enjoying the activities and the additional interaction of people that they provide.

My mother moved to HeatherWood assisted living. I have had no problem with the place, they have been great. Her apartment is all she needs, and their food is very good. In terms of amenities they've got everything and she doesn't need a thing there. They also take her to doctors' appointments.

I like HeatherWood, and my mother and aunt have been residents there. The place was really nice, and they also have a memory unit now. The rooms are very clean and I find the people to be very nice and friendly. They have church services which impressed my family. Their food was very good; if you request a meal their cook would actually try to cook the menu item that you like for the whole group once in a while. They also have activities, they take their people on outings and shopping trips, they go to the theater, and they do a lot. They have community days and it very nice. It's a very pretty place, the rooms on the first floor were lovely and very well-decorated. They decorate during holidays like Christmas, and the flowers on the grounds were lovely. It's well taken care of and very tasteful, and it makes me happy because it doesn't have quite as many residents as some of the other places. They also let you bring little pets in to visit, which makes people happy. They also have an activities director. It wasn't really more expensive than any other place, and my aunt had quite a big apartment, so the value is there.
