We're at The Village at Heritage Park. Everybody's friendly in the office area. We haven't participated in the dining areas yet. The facility is very nice. It's a two-bedroom, two-bath structure, and we've had occasion to call the office for trouble. We had a smoke detector that was going off and needed a battery. Also, we had a problem with the washing machine, and they sent a man out and everything was taken care of satisfactorily. They pick up our trash. We just set it up at the end of the driveway and they pick it up daily, so no problem. They have a nightly happy hour, which we have not been able to attend yet. They have a program for $200 a month and you can get one meal a day if you want to purchase one. Otherwise, you can just buy a meal, which is $10. We're happy to be here. They have a library and a barbershop/beauty salon.

My father already put down a deposit at The Village at Heritage Park. It's the only one that actually offers an independent living. They are in a little duplex, and then they get to eat their meals in the main dining room. He will get himself a little golf cart and then go over to the main dining room. They can participate in all the other functions there. I love the community. We actually had lunch there, and the food was very good. It is very bright and cheery. The staff is really good. When I'm in my 80s, I may consider something like that for myself. They have granite countertops and a wonderful floorplan. The two-bedroom, two-bath came with a washer and dryer, refrigerator, stove, microwave, a little patio, and pets are allowed. It was really good. It did not smell. They don't have to worry about cooking dinner. It's $200 per person for a meal ticket, one meal a day, so they can decide whether they want lunch or dinner, but they can go over to the main dining room for $200 a month. That's only like $6.50 a meal, and it was very good. I would recommend this facility. When you're in this independent living it includes all the utilities, water, electricity, cable TV, and garbage. The only thing it does not include is WiFi. They can put out a bag of garbage every day at the end of their driveway and someone will pick it up. It was very clean. They've got an outdoor firepit, barbecue, and shuffleboard. They do not have a swimming pool, but they've got a little exercise room, a theater, a hair salon, and car service going to the grocery stores or to doctors' appointments, and that's all available for the independent living as well. The staff was very good. She bought our lunch and everything. They actually have two menu options. They have one for diabetic and one for regular, and I thought that was awesome.

The Village at Heritage Park had cottages with two bedrooms, two baths, and a garage. It also had a dog park. Everything was wonderful. I liked the facilities. People were very friendly and happy to live there. The staff was very accommodating. They had in the main building an exercise room, a craft room, jigsaw table, meeting rooms, little TV theater, and a library. They had entertainment in the summertime and barbecues. They had a hair salon and a nice Jacuzzi bath. It wasn't as expensive as some of the other places I've been to.

Heritage Park is a nice place. You buy your own home, and it's for people 55 and older. It's quiet and well-kept. I don't have any problems or complaints. They have a restaurant, it's nice, the food is good, and you can have drinks. They have movies, a swimming pool, and a complete gym.
