What this means for your family

Recent reviews suggest the facility has seen positive changes under new administration, particularly regarding staff attentiveness. However, given past reports of slow response times and cleanliness issues, I recommend visiting during off-hours to observe staffing levels firsthand and checking the condition of the rooms yourself.

Key Review Excerpts

The care that she has received has been wonderful and the communication is great. She is a younger adult that needs lots of attention and support and I believe that they are meeting that need very well.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

My husband is a resident on the secure wing at Heritage Gardens. The nurses are fabulous with him, and always telling me how much they all love him. The administrative staff goes above and beyond when providing me with assistance.

Memory care family member · 2023★★★★★

When I press the call light button it often takes a long time for the nurse or aide to come to see about me. For example, it can take over an hour or two.
