No complaints so far
reviewed on: 11/16/2017 by AnonymousMy Father is here currently and so far he seems to be settling well. From what I’ve seen, the staff seems to be interacting pretty positively with my dad and he doesn’t have any complaints so far. We know someone who has a parent that’s here, too, and they seem to be pretty accommodating to his needs as well. Dad says the food is good and hasn’t had any complaints. They clean his apartment once a week and when I go in there it is pleasant smelling and it looks like it’s good. There are exercise classes, games, a daycare center will come by with little kids to interact with them. Laundry, meals, medication disbursement, furnishings, rent, and toiletries are included in the price. The only thing I would suggest that maybe they could fix would be a way to keep track of care requests. If you have a request on a specific type of care that your loved one needs, there’s no way of tracking to see if those requests have been taken care of. But overall, I would recommend them.
A move from Oakwood Covenant unit to Heritage Memory care
reviewed on: 08/12/2013 by Jane GreischarOur relative has now lived over 3 months at Heritage. She moved there from Oakwood Covenant Memory unit when they could no longer care for her because of increasing number of falls. The set up of both residential facilities is quite different. While Oakwood has residents in family units of ten or less; Heritage has up to 40 residents around a square and everyone eats in a common dining room. Oakwood is mostly staffed by RAs (residential aid) (usually two per ten residents, but on occasion only one person may staff an area); Heritage does require all staff to be CNAs so they are a little better trained. However the Oakwood staff has some very long time aids who have experience and maturity that far exceed the very young staff of Heritage in actual experience in care. Both facilities are very neatly set up and clean and both require the care staff to do dining service, general cleaning, and laundry. We like it a lot that Heritage offers a base rent and then a level of care service fee. Heritage offers more opportunities for a resident to socialize with other residents on a daily basis, but their organized activities and cultural offerings are currently slim compared to Oakwood's. While we like the location of Heritage much better as it is 5 miles closer to home the facility does not have much in outside grounds or paths. We have also discovered that all of the doors are locked except for the front main entrance and they do not have any bike racks for staff or visitors. For a memory care resident who does not care about opportunities to be outside Heritage is an excellent choice, There is one large courtyard at the center of the square. One of our complaints from the start has been that we do not have access to our relatives room without calling for someone to let us into the unit. This is in place for security reasons, but we find it very inconvenient and worry about how much care time is lost just in answering the door for friends and relatives. Overall it is an excellent value for memory care. Staff is in general very patient oriented and administration is willing to work with the family to make needed adjustments for the residents. They also provide furnishings which lessen the burden of caregivers to set up a room. There is no doctor or social worker on staff, but they do offer podiatry and other basic health services via a company from the outside and there is a beauty shop on site.
Heritage Monona review
reviewed on: 12/11/2013 by ThadWe have just moved my Father here (about 2 weeks ago). The employees were great with helping us get everything set up, answering questions, and doing a lot of the leg work to get my dad moved with-in a short time frame. They are friendly and take time to get to know the residents and talk to them. The facilities look to be fairly new so they are in great condition.

reviewed on: 12/29/2012 by A Place For Mom CustomerVery nice place I think they said both could stay in the memory care area but I think they were trying to convince us another facility would be better.
All in all it's been a really good thing, we have some peace of mind now.
reviewed on: 05/05/2014 by Loved OneWe have been there a little over a month. We were very impressed during the tours. We feared a rough transition, based on an experience we had with a different facility two years previous. However, the nurse recommended that we give him some time to settle in before we visited, and had some different approaches, like if we were visiting, and he needed something to ask the staff so he could used to the idea of doing that. When we went to visit, our family saw he was much more peaceful than he had been either at home or in a different facility two years earlier. Things seem less stressed, he's calmer. He is getting good care, there is always staff around, they are walking around and checking in. The staff to patient ratio is really good. They know what the residents likes and dislikes are. They seem to understand that the residents react differently to different situations and that different solutions work for different people. They are really tuned into the concept of giving individual attention. There are times that the caregivers are overloaded but there has never been anything serious to worry or complain about. It always looks nice and is very attractive. The staff and management is always very friendly. They have a lot of planned activities, and they have a lot of community outreach. People seem happier there than other places we looked at. The dining room is cheerful, and the menu looks pretty good. I think we made a good choice with this community. All in all it's been a really good thing, we have some peace of mind now.
