One reviewer mentioned that they were impressed with the owner/operator of Heather House, noting her friendliness and genuine care for the residents. Although still recovering from COVID restrictions, the facility is considered comfortable and well maintained, creating a pleasant atmosphere for its residents.

    Another reviewer highlighted the cleanliness and well-appointed furnishings of Heather House, along with its attractive yard and screened porch. They expressed satisfaction with their son's stay at the facility and praised the quality of food provided. However, due to his difficult age group, their son was not completely content with his current living situation.

    In contrast, another individual noted that their father-in-law had a great experience at Heather House. The caring attitude of both the owner and the caretakers contributed to his satisfaction. Furthermore, they appreciated the relaxing ambiance created by the well-maintained grounds surrounded by a wooded area. While some rooms appeared a bit dingy, overall, the interior was described as nice.

    However, it should be noted that Heather House recently underwent a change in ownership which resulted in some concerns raised by another reviewer. One significant change experienced was an increase in caregiver turnover rates which led to worries about maintaining consistent quality of care. Additionally, there were reports of changes in personnel affecting aspects like food preparation and activity programming within the facility.

    On a positive note, an individual working with Alzheimer's and Dementia patients expressed confidence in Heather House's ability to provide adequate care for their mother. They praised its beautiful setting - encompassing a large home with extensive backyard space - as well as its cleanliness and attentive staff members. The facility's menu options received favorable remarks from both residents and visitors alike.

    Lastly, another individual shared their appreciation for the exceptional care provided to their mother at Heather House who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The staff at the facility demonstrated compassion and attentiveness towards her needs, promptly addressing any concerns. Although the activities were currently limited due to a recent change in ownership and the absence of an activity coordinator, the reviewer expressed optimism that the situation would improve.

    Overall, Heather House has received positive feedback for its pleasant atmosphere, cleanliness, and caring staff members. While there have been some challenges with transitions in ownership and personnel changes, many individuals expressed confidence in the quality of care provided at the facility.
