Review

Living in a tower at Heron Pointe has proven to be a wonderful experience for many residents. The presence of caring and attentive staff provides peace of mind and reassurance. The quality of care is highly regarded, as the staff members are not only skilled in their work but also kind-hearted.

Although it took some time to adjust, residents have grown comfortable with living in senior housing. They particularly enjoy going out together for shopping trips and dining experiences at restaurants. The on-site kitchen serves delicious meals, with chili dogs being a favorite among the residents. Engaging activities are also provided, adding fun and excitement to their daily lives.

Many residents have lived at Heron Pointe for an extended period, over two and a half years. They appreciate the quietness and great view from their tower apartments. While there may be some turnover among staff members, overall satisfaction remains high. However, it's worth noting that the community does not cover medical expenses for pets.

Bingo is mentioned as one of the beloved activities enjoyed by residents, along with outings organized by the activity director. A picnic at a covered bridge stands out as a memorable event filled with joy and friendship. Nature photography is another hobby that brings delight during these outings.

Residents find living in the tower enjoyable due to its spacious apartments and beautiful views. Additionally, they praise the friendly nature of the staff members, especially highlighting the compassion and support provided by the activity director. Transportation services to doctors' appointments are greatly appreciated, as well.

Not only do the staff members assist when needed but they also ensure that no necessary services are denied to anyone. It's evident that careful monitoring of residents' well-being takes place while providing opportunities for enjoyable activities like bingo.

The overall sentiment among residents is one of gratitude for a positive living experience at Heron Pointe. Despite minor concerns about food options or room sizes being mentioned occasionally, these do not overshadow their appreciation for the compassionate and dedicated caregivers, friendly staff, cleanliness of the community, and the affordability compared to other options.
