Key Review Excerpts
“My mother is so loved and so well taken care of at Heritage Pointe, that I cannot believe it! I have never experienced a nursing facility as wonderful as this one.”
“First night my father used the call light up to 30 min and no one came, my father attempted to go to the bathroom after being ignored and fell. When in he bathroom he pulled the emergency cord but no one came for 30 min.”
“They closely monitor her health and let me know if there’s a problem. Communication with family is excellent. The staff takes time to answer your questions when they arise.”
