Heritage Estates stands on 8.38 acres and has about 250 units built in 2009, offering many care levels like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, continuing care, home health, and adult day programs, so folks can live how they like and get help if they need it, whether they're wanting full independence, a bit of help, or more care because of memory issues or medical needs. The campus has 190 independent living units and 60 assisted living units set in a building with about 244,000 square feet, and about 40% of the units are reserved for affordable housing for qualifying seniors, with low-income tax credit programs and one-bedroom affordable options too, so a good number of people on fixed incomes have a place here. People can pick from one- or two-bedroom apartments with private bathrooms, kitchens, big closets, emergency response systems, individual thermostats, and available floor plans when vacancies allow, while their pets can come along since it's pet-friendly.
There's always staff present, including a Move In Coordinator, General Manager, Marketing Director, and Guest Services Manager, so folks get support when moving in or with daily requests, and medical help or personal care, like bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, is there for those who need it. Housekeeping, laundry rooms, and regular cleaning are part of the deal too, along with prepared meals from a dedicated chef served in two restaurant-style dining rooms or the café bistro, but residents can have room service as well, and there's a free coffee and tea station for casual moments with friends or family. A beauty salon and spa is on-site for folks who want those services, and extras like a pool, jacuzzi, stone fireplace, fitness center, elevators, community center, gym, wellness center, theaters, outdoor patio with shaded seating, gift rooms, and lovely decor with soft lights make it feel homey and relaxed.
Lots of activities fill the days, from cooking and computer classes, singing lessons, art competitions, travel excursions, social parties, group tours, and fitness programs, so there are ways to keep busy or make friends if that's something someone enjoys. Folks who need help because of Alzheimer's or other dementia can get special attention thanks to memory care programs made to prevent confusion or wandering, while continuing care means folks can stay in the same place as their needs change, even if that means skilled nursing or rehab later on, and for those who still want to live totally independently, there's maintenance-free living with help available if wanted.
Transportation gets people to appointments and errands, while home care aides offer company and non-medical help for folks living at home on the property. A waitlist runs when spots are full, but there's a sense of community for those who do move in, with staff aiming to help everyone stay independent while making connections if they want, all inside a 55+ community made for older adults seeking a safe, lively, and comfortable place to live.
