Cons

• The room at Heritage Homes compared to the one my parents are in at their current facility was not even close. It was more expensive and the room was the size of a big bathroom, that would've been their living room and their bedroom. It's definitely has more of a 70s feel.
• The only problem is that the apartments are really tiny, so she would have been miserable.
• The facility itself is well furnished and designed, but it has more of an old nursing home feel.
• The staff was nice, but the rooms had a 70s feel and reminded me more of an old nursing home.
• The living spaces were generous, but the overall decor of the facility seemed stale.
• This is a really well staffed facility, but the apartments are small and could make residents uncomfortable.
