What this means for your family

While some families report a very positive, caring experience, the serious allegations of neglect in 2022 are concerning. We strongly recommend scheduling an unannounced visit to observe staff-to-resident interactions firsthand and asking management specifically how they address concerns regarding quality of care.

Key Review Excerpts

It would be worth your time to look elsewhere. If I knew then what I know now I sure would have instead of putting my dad through the lack of care, mistreatment, and down right neglect.

Long-term resident's family · 2022☆☆☆☆

Heritage Assisted Living is a caring environment for my father in law. I see the same nurses there each week and I love the attention we all receive.

Heritage Crossings shows a pattern of recurring fire safety and building maintenance issues across multiple surveys, with deficiencies in smoke detection systems, electrical equipment, and emergency preparedness appearing regularly from 2022 through 2024. The facility has also had problems with quality of care and medication management. One family filed a complaint about infection control practices. While all issues have correction dates, the repeated safety violations across different surveys suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that families should discuss during visits.
