I went over to the memory care at Heritage Green Assisted Living and Memory Care. I'm very impressed with them. The administrator and the office manager were very informative. They wanted to know about my sister personally and it was very important that they did that and I was quite impressed.
The rooms were really large. They're letting people use their own furniture, their own beds, and all that they want. The people that I met that live in the memory care part seemed very alert, very clean, and seemed happy. They have a garden area and a living area where they can watch TV. All of this is in a secured part of the building so that people with Alzheimer's couldn't wander off or anything. The place was clean. I was very impressed with the activities.
The residents had just finished having an art class and it was toward the afternoon. They were just sitting around, kind of talking to each other and they were in the living area. There was one lady that was taking a nap. It was just a comfortable atmosphere. The dining room is off of a living room and there's enough space in there for everyone to eat. They post their menu ahead of time, and all of their meals looked good. They have a real chef. The meals were very balanced looking. It had your meat and vegetables.
They also have accessible van transportation to medical appointments. They told me that they go out on rides or to the mall. I see their buses around a lot. They have a front porch and an outside courtyard. The light coming in was very impressive. The facility was nice. I would live in it.

Every person working here that I have met has been wonderful! They have all been friendly, helpful, caring and respectful to me and my father.
The residents' rooms and the group areas are a nice size, comfortable, welcoming and kept clean. The two large courtyards are a particular joy for my father along with the van rides and outings that are offered weekly. He enjoys many of the offered activities and is always eager when a performer is there to sing n play their instruments.
I am very pleased with Heritage Green and believe it was by far the best choice for my father.

Heritage has been good to my loved one. It’s clean and the staff take good care of her. The rooms are spacious and she’s done well with a roommate. She loves the lunch trips they take and the churches that come to sing. She seems to be happy there.

My godmother was admitted to the memory care unit and she had excellent care from the nurses , aides and staff members. My god mother was always clean and the facility was always clean when I visited. I am giving the memory care unit all five stars!

Before choosing a Memory Care facility for my wife, I visited all the facilities in the Lynchburg area. All facilities do their best to sell you on why they would be the best choice for you and your loved one and we are fortunate to have so many great facilities to choose from. For me, Heritage Green stood out with the staff's friendliness and genuine concern for my wife's well being. They send me pictures and texts with updates on how she is doing and reach out to me to help me through this transition. I can not say enough about the great folks at Heritage Green.

It doesn't feel (or smell) like a residential facility. It feels more like home with residents bringing in their own furniture and decorating their rooms. This helps with memory care patients. Finding a place for mom with staff who understand dementia has been wonderful! There are always activities for them. They make sure residents are eating meals and have morning & afternoon snacks and drinks. There is a lovely courtyard for them to walk through and to sit to enjoy the outside. Administration provide their personal phone numbers so you can call anytime for a report or to ask questions. They are always available to listen to your concerns and take care of them promptly. They also jump in to help anytime they're needed without hesitation to look after the residents and treat them like family. We're happy mom has so many caring people around her.

We placed dad in Heritage Green Assisted Living and Memory Care. I think it seems to be well staffed, which I appreciate. They clean the rooms, mop, and clean the bathrooms on a daily basis. They have activities. They're easy to communicate with. They listen to what you have to say and respond. It's expensive, but they all are.
I've been there a couple of times. The food looks par for the course. It didn't look like it's gourmet, but it looks fairly decent. I did tell them that for lunches instead of a big one, he enjoys soup and a sandwich. They said they would see that he got that several times a week. So far, I think it's OK. It seems to be going all right. I think they gather the people down and watch TV, sing songs, watch movies, and various things like that. It's kept very clean, it doesn't have any odor, which I like.
They do have a nice little park-like area that they have access to, just a little walking path and a bench out there. It's kind of nice. It's like a big backyard, where there's some greenery and things that I think are really nice.
The staff have been totally, totally responsive. One day when I went, I called the nurse and I said, "I know this isn't a fun job." She said, "Oh, we are happy to help you and anything he needs." I mean, they have really good attitudes. One of the attendants told me that at lunch time, she asked him what kind of music he'd like to listen to; she played that. So, as far as it goes, they seem to be good.

Our visit to Heritage Green Assisted Living and Memory Care was very good. This is what we would have picked if my mom had decided not to come home. Their accommodations at the assisted living were just rooms with their bathrooms. They didn't have phones in their rooms and you had to supply your own furniture because they didn't have any for rent. So we were going to have to move her hospital bed and furniture and it would have cost us $300 to make that move so that's one of the reasons why we didn't go over there. The staff was very friendly.

The staff here is awesome! Jennifer C. just did a taped interview with my friend and it was sooo good. She and, really all the staff, seem to be happy and concerned for the welfare of their patients.

The staff here are friendly and attentive to the residents. They have activities and socials to include everyone and families always welcomed. The food prepared by the chef was very good. My mom loved the van rides. We had a very good experience here.

The rooms at Heritage Green are spacious and cheery. You can choose a private or semi private room and each room has it's own bathroom (showers are in a separate part of the facility). You are able to individualize the rooms as you choose. The staff is amazing. Many staff members have been there in excess of 20 years, which says a great deal about the facility. It was rarely that I needed to note any concerns, but whenever I did they were addressed immediately (as within the same day) and to my satisfaction. They take the residents out for lunch and always have interesting activities for the residents to participate in. They celebrate every imaginable holiday and always invite family to be a part of the events. There is a birthday celebration every month. But most important to me was the way my Mother was always treated with respect by all staff there. There is a beautiful courtyard area so the residents can safely enjoy beautiful fall and spring and summer days. The decision to place my Mother in Memory Care was one of the most difficult I ever had to make. There was never a time I felt I made the wrong decision with Heritage Green. I was told when I placed my Mother there that everything they do comes from love. That was completely evident. I was always kept informed with any changes or issues pertaining to my Mother. Her day to day care, her nursing care, her safety and overall wellbeing could not have been attended to better. My Mother passed approximately 15 months ago. I still have contact with the staff there from time to time. If you have to make this difficult decision, I highly recommend Heritage Green.

We have been overjoyed by the staff and the attention dad receives. Glad we found Heritage Green.

I write to express my total satisfaction with Heritage Greens memory care. For the last three years I have visited a family friend at this facility. Visitors are always welcomed in a professional manner by Heather P.
The care provided is of the upmost quality. All staff members sincerely care about these residents.
The facility is kept clean always. i have never visited and found anything lacking in their care. Any family who is thinking of a place for their loved one needs to visit and see for themselves the type of establishment that Heritage Green can provide. Let me close by saying that the activities program functions at a very high level thanks to Jennifer C and care staff.

My 81 year old mother, who has moderate dementia, spent a month in Heritage Green in Lynchburg this spring for respite care, and it was a great experience for her and our whole family. The facility is perfectly clean, has an updated look and is pleasant and comfortable with a number of different areas for the residents to spend their time in. The staff is outstanding and could not have been more welcoming--everyone we encountered was warm, caring and competent, and they seemed to know all the "tricks" to help manage people with dementia in a kind but effective way. We chose Heritage Green for her respite care in large part because of the facility and staff, but also because they offer a multiple daily activities, seven days per week (a lot of other places do not have activities on weekends, which we felt was a big problem). The residents seemed to love the activities which ranged from outings in the van, to hymn singing and music, to games and reading aloud. My mother enjoyed all of these, and the staff occasionally sent us photos of her participating, which our family appreciated. The food seemed very tasty and was fresh and hot in the dining area. My mother was clean, appropriately dressed and seemed to be very much enjoying herself whenever we stopped by (and visitors are welcomed any time, no notice needed).
We will definitely choose Heritage Green for future respite care, and when the time comes for long term care, we are so happy that we have found a place where we feel confident my mother will be happy and will receive excellent compassionate care. Thank you so much, Heritage Green!

My dad has moved into Heritage Green and so far I'm very pleased. His room is orderly and clean. My dad has mostly physical therapy for activity. So far, the staff has been great. The food smells and looks good, and I haven't heard any complaints. They have private dining rooms if needed, community room, and an outdoor area.

My mother has been a resident of Heritage Green (memory care) for two years. I am extremely pleased with the facility and services. The staff is very caring and treats my mother with kindness and respect. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a facility for their family member.

We had my 91 year old mother with vascular dementia in a facility nearby. It had not gone well for different reasons. We moved mother to Heritage Green DayBreak, November, 2014. The difference has been amazing. The care she is getting is superior, the staff is well trained and the activities stimulate her mind. I must also say the care I have received has helped me so much. The staff is always helpful and understanding. I have no worries about whether mother will be taken care of. She has recurring UTI and has recently started a new medication that is helping. I don't think she could be in a better place. Linda Edwards
