assisted living

The goal of our assisted living program is to remove many of the responsibilities that become more onerous as a person ages. Basic services in our assisted living program range from housekeeping and customized meals, to planned transportation and activities throughout the day. More individualized assistance with medication management, personal hygiene, memory prompting, and special meals are available as requested or needed. Services are tailored to suit the requirements of each client and are staggered into three levels of care. Ongoing assessments by our staff and referred physicians keep family abreast of their loved one's progress. Periodic assessments also allow us to modify a resident's plan of services as needed, or as requested.

Living at Heritage House
Each resident has a private apartment that opens onto neighborhoods with shared living and activity areas. Our main living room includes a fireplace, entertainment center, and comfortable furniture, as well as historical photographs and art-work by local artisans. Our town center has a computer room, a complete beauty salon and a fitness center. Accessible laundry facilities are available for residents. We have three outside courtyards that are outdoor extensions of the indoor environment. Piped music follows you throughout the flowered walkways and patios with comfortable teak seating throughout. Raised planting beds are also provided for residents wishing to hone their gardening skills.

Dining at Honey Magnolia's
Heritage House has structured its menu so that residents can choose from a number of entrees at each meal. Breakfasts are made to order, special diets are pampered, and we take pride in our seasonal fresh fruit preserves, and delicacies from the local Farmers' Market. Our homemade apricot cobbler and oatmeal cookies are McGeever family recipes. Snacks are offered throughout the day to fit everyone's schedule. Good food is a big part of many family gatherings. We have brought all our best recipes to Heritage House to share with our residents. Families are welcome, and we can prepare special meals and picnic lunches on request.

Activities
Heritage House becomes an extended neighborhood for our residents. Neighbors are able to share interests, past-times and laughter, with each other, and with our staff. Residents' families are encouraged to come and share meals and take part in activities and special events. Transportation is provided for scheduled trips, shopping, banking, field trips and excursions. Heritage House maintains an ongoing activity calendar with regular field trips, exercise classes, arts and crafts, book clubs, movies and social hours. We regularly adjust our program schedule to reflect the preferences of our resident population. You tell us what you would like to see. It's our job to provide the options.
