Heatherwood Gracious Retirement Living

Heatherwood is great place to live, work, and play. The residents are welcoming and gracious. Staff goes out of their way to attend to the residents needs. Wonderful!

This is supposed to be an INDEPENDENT LIVING FACILITY... However that is not the case. There are more than half of the patients, yes I said patients are in wheelchairs or needing an assist to get to the dining hall. They have a company inside the facility to remind for meds, shower, transport. This is not independent living. It's a blatant lie. The company that offers all these services is ran by a dental hygienist, and some of her aides are not certified to even pass the meds that they do. I would give negative stars for this facility if I could.

My wife and I were very happy with our visit to Heatherwood. We had high expectations, as both our father's lived at a nearby retirement home, owned by the same company (Hawthorn). We were visiting for my mom's needs. One of the managers, Christopher, was a fantastic host. I especially appreciated his candor. The building has just been renovated and looked beautiful, with lots of holiday decorations.

My mother lived at Heatherwood for about 8 years. She loved having friends and meeting new people, playing cards and dancing to the many musicians who performed regularly. Having meals in the beautiful dining room with friends, playing bingo, and going on outings with the bus kept her happy and healthy. As she needed more help, we hired the All In One healthcare team members to provide daily wellness checks and assist with her medications. It was always a joy to visit Mom, the neighbors became my friends as well. The cost is quite reasonable for the all inclusive housekeeping, meals, activities, transportation, movies, and 24 hour on site managers. Thank you to all the Heatherwood team especially Sue Gauthier and Julie Champoux
