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.

Helped me out so much!
The staff here helped me out so much! It's been a long recovery since I've been home. I wouldn't have been able to return home without coming here for rehab first.

Nurses truly care about their patients
The staff is very friendly. While there I saw one of the nurses giving a resident in a wheel chair a long loving hug. There is no doubt in my mind that the nurses care about the patients. Thank you to everyone who works there!
