My son is the youngest resident here. And he absolutely loves living here! At first I was hesitant to have him live in an assist living facility, but he is thriving here and everyone looks after him like family. We are very blessed with the staff and accommodations for him. He feels like he has community, and from a mommas heart, to see him thrive like he is just warms my heart

Heron House is a lifesaver… We recently needed to move my 89 yr old mother Into assisted care. Heron House is perfect… They’re caring and loving, with the right level of staff. This is not the newest facility, but the warmth and caring that my mom is receiving far out way any other consideration…

This place is probably good for assisted living but not for memory Care. My mom laid in bed for 3 days with a horrific urinary tract infection before they would send her to the hospital. If they don't come out and eat, they don't eat. Of their time in their room with the door shut in the dark. Mom never got her showers continually losing her clothes. Their staff certainly is not trained to have a memory care facility. If you love your loved one, think twice.

What a warm and welcoming community - the price and care are remarkable - a true blessing!

Tammy was a joy to work with. She was very knowledgeable about her community and the senior living industry.

Wonderful tour and experience. My Aunt is going to love it here!
