We had an aunt that lived in Heritage Monona. The facility was very nice but they seemed to have quite a bit of staff turnover while she was there. The food was good and the staff was attentive. But they always seemed to be short-staffed, that's the biggest hurdle we had there. Otherwise, it was a nice facility. She had a 1-bedroom, she had a small living room, a kitchenette or diner kind of area, and a bath. They have activities like bingo, crafts, and happy hour on Friday nights, and they had story time where someone would come in and read actual novels to a group of residents.

My aunt has moved into Heritage Monona. There had been a few little issues, but we got those straightened out. Right now, the one thing I did not like about it is I don't feel like they have enough staff. Their nursing assistants are floating from one place to another. They are using a nurse from another area in Wisconsin that has to drive here three times a week. There is no nurse on the weekend. You have to have an appointment to go in and visit her. They are always booked because they only allow ten people at the time. Then when I called to go in the weekend, they said to me, 'We're booked for the next five weekends.' So as a family, we weren't even told that. We cannot even go visit on the weekend because they are booked. My sister made some phone calls about some things, and they never got back to her. When I made a phone call and I talked to a woman, she got really rude to me and she went, 'I'm going to send you over to somebody else.' Since then, we haven't had any problem. I have hospice coming in now, and my aunt is getting palliative care. I also have physical therapy going in and a social worker now. Heritage Monona knows that they are not going to be able to play games with me. Her waste basket had not been emptied for four days. I made a phone call on that. They are short-handed, and their activities need to change. Especially with the weather changing, they need to change some of their activities. She said the food is OK, but I think the portions were very small. When I brought it up to them, they said, 'Well, she can ask for more.' They also bring the dessert before the meals. She had a wheelchair downstairs which has now disappeared, but the hallways are clean and they do maintenance.

I'm currently living in Heritage Monona. Some of the aides are very, very nice, and some don't say anything to you when they bring your meal or pills. The food can either be very, very good or very, very bad. They've had four or five of the higher ups that moved on to someplace else, and they're short of help. There are not many activities. The activity person tries to keep us involved in everything, but more or less she's bringing stuff for us from the Internet. We have happy hour on Tuesday and she's starting to take us for walks outside, but there's a lot that can be desired. A lot of the residents are not very happy about it. They have a library, but during the COVID shutdown the library was closed. I assumed it would be open soon. They do your laundry, they bring your pills to you, and they clean the apartment when it needs to be cleaned.

I would never choose this place. I get frequent pleas from my aunt to have her moved. Food is pitiful, served cold, thrown on a styrofoam dish, they try to give duplicate medicines, staff is poorly trained and careless with any kind of details. Rare trips to store offered. Everyone just looks the other way and state refuses to investigate.

They were very friendly at Heritage Senior Living Monona. It was very clean and I was very impressed. They have activities and they have a huge calendar. They have outside events and it sounded like they really try to engage the seniors there. The staff member talked about how they're big on the food and the diet. They have a really good chef that puts care into the meals. They have a dining room, so everybody comes together at mealtimes. The rooms were very clean. The staff was very helpful and professional. It's cozy, aesthetically pleasing, and it has a nice, warm, homey feel to it.

Heritage Senior Living Monona was a topnotch facility. The staff was absolutely topnotch also. The grounds were beautiful and clean. My father was in a studio, but it had everything that he needed. It was clean, the bathroom was large, had a walk-in shower, and a large closet, was handicap accessible for a wheelchair, and it had all the safety precautions. The food was good. They provided three meals a day plus snacks. They had a pretty well-rounded menu. There were plenty of activities there.

Heritage Senior Living Monona was a better community than other places I've seen. It was clean and organized. They have activities and they have a bus that takes you places. The rooms were clean and the staff members were friendly.

It's been a month since mom moved in to Heritage Senior Living Monona. The place is very nice and clean. The staff is very nice as well. I had the chance to eat there, and the food is good. The downfall for this place is that they charged us more from what they quoted before the move.

The people at Heritage Senior Living Monona seem to be very qualified. I think a lot of them have been dementia-trained -- which I find very encouraging; my sister had an assessment, and it was very thorough. The place is nice and lovely. The rooms looked nice, delightful, and tolerable. I also observed the rooms in the memory care division, and they were of course much smaller, but that's what it is and it's probably quite secure for those who may wander or whatever else happens.

Heritage was wonderful, and that’s the one that I would choose for my sister. They have an independent living, assisted living, and a nursing home. The facility looked very nice; I was impressed. My sister smokes, and they did have a place for smoking. They had a computer room, a library, and a meals facility for a meal planning where you could participate in or not. The food was excellent; I was invited for lunch. They had beautiful granite counter tops for the kitchen.

Heritage Senior Living Monona was a very good place and large, too. They can handle Alzheimer's patients as well as rehab patients. The dining area was a sit-down, the rooms were very nice, and the common areas were nice. I've worked with the social worker there, and she was nice. The staff was very helpful, too.
