Key Review Excerpts

My Mom has been a resident for 4 months now at Heritage Health. She has received quality care from all areas within the Nursing home.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

While my mother was there, they *the staff, decided to diagnose my mother with dementia. However the hospital with actual doctors, had no idea what they *the staff, were talking about.

Memory care family member · 2024☆☆☆☆
