In great hands
My mom was a patient at this facility . I feel as though my mom had the best care. The employees were always welcoming, kind and compassionate. They were always patient. My mom could be very difficult at times. I felt as though she was in great hands and I didn’t have to worry about her. It’s a good feeling knowing your parent is in good hands. Thank you heritage hall staff.
