“Joe and I are really pleased and happy to be living at Brookridge! After 54 years on a farm, we were concerned about moving to a smaller place, but it’s honestly such a relief to be safe, comfortable, and settled into the future! We have everything we need, and nothing we don’t need. New friends, interesting activities, supportive staff, and fewer responsibilities make it all an excellent decision. So happy we did this!"

“This is a photo of my mom taken on the day she moved into her new apartment at Brookridge. She is proudly displaying the keys that opened a new, fulfilling chapter of her life that day. Friends, activities, and caring healthcare providers are ever-present in her daily life. "

“My mom had a stroke earlier this year and after a few weeks had to move to assisted living in Heritage House from their skilled care facility. They made this move as easy as possible, so she felt taken care of and comfortable with her new stage of life! The people were so caring and nurturing during this transition. Then, a few months later, mom fell. They were great with mom the night while waiting for emergency services. Eventually, mom ended up back in skilled care after surgery and they were so good with her again, especially the therapists! When she moved back to her assisted living room, the first thing mom said was 'Oh it is so good to be back HOME!' It truly is her home now and I am very glad she chose Heritage House."

"I love the fact that Heritage House has such low turnover (comparitively). For my mom, Gen, in Country Groves, that is critical for her feeling at home, and many of them say hi to her by her name. She always tells me they take such good care of her. Thank you."

Lela Forrest

Daughter of a Heritage House Resident

“The hardest decision we had to make as a family was when we realized mom’s dementia was progressing and she could no longer live on her own, and she needed more care than what we could give her. We were worried that mom would 'give up' once she was there and that we would see her condition deteriorate, and we couldn’t have been more wrong! She loves it there! She does more there than she ever did while living on her own! We can’t thank the entire staff at Heritage House for everything they have done for not only mom, but for all of us. They’ve given us as a family peace of mind, knowing that we don’t need to worry because she has fabulous people taking excellent care of her. We are truly blessed to have her be a part of the Heritage House Family, and we will forever be grateful to the staff for all they have done for her. "

“I am very impressed that when something happens to grandma, even if minor, they call me. And they always call with updates after doctor visits to keep me informed. I am so appreciative of this.”
