Review

When it comes to choosing a community, cleanliness and organization are important factors for many individuals. Unfortunately, one reviewer was not impressed with the community they visited, stating that the building was older and did not feel clean. They also found the community to be disorganized. However, another reviewer mentioned that the community is open to feedback and encourages residents to communicate and make decisions together. This suggests that the community values resident input and strives for open communication.

The second reviewer had a positive experience working with A Place for Mom, a service that helps individuals find senior living options. They appreciated that A Place for Mom understood their situation and provided them with qualified locations to consider. The reviewer also mentioned that the service offered comfort and made other suggestions to assist them during this difficult time.

However, it should be noted that according to one reviewer, the community in question lacks nursing staff. Instead of nurses being present at all times, there is only a doctor who visits once or twice a week. This may raise concerns for potential residents who require more frequent medical attention.

Unfortunately, not all reviews were positive. One individual stated that Heritage, which was recommended by A Place for Mom, did not meet their expectations at all. They described the facility as resembling a "flop house" and felt uncomfortable throughout their visit. The building itself was described as being in rough shape, further adding to their negative impression of the community.

Another negative review claimed that patients at Heritage were being taken advantage of financially. The reviewer alleged that patients were having their monthly allowances taken from them without explanation or not receiving them at all. Additionally, they mentioned seeing the administrator selling cigarettes to patients, implying potential exploitation or unethical behavior. In contrast to these negative experiences, one reviewer had a pleasant visit to a different facility. They found it well-decorated and clean, with an enticing aroma reminiscent of Olive Garden restaurant chain (which may be either appealing or unappealing depending on personal preference). The food appeared delicious, and the staff was friendly. The reviewer also noted the passion that the nurses had for their work, particularly in ensuring residents take their medication and enjoy their time in the community.

In conclusion, these reviews highlight mixed experiences with different senior living communities. Some individuals were dissatisfied with issues such as cleanliness, organization, lack of nursing staff, and potential financial irregularities. On the other hand, one reviewer had a positive experience working with A Place for Mom, and another had a pleasant visit to a different facility where they found cleanliness and passionate staff members. As always, it is important to thoroughly research and visit multiple communities before making a decision.
