Nice place, nice people and close to us, but Mom doesn't need 3 provided meals a day, and transportation, all of which are part of the cost. Possibly an option for the future, but not now.

This facility was really pretty; 1 bedroom units were a bit smaller then I preferred but everything else was wonderful. Still need to go back for 2nd time to talk to Marketing and get more details.

really liked facility; Marketing Director [name removed] was very helpful. This is an option.

Heritage Woods in Watseka is a Very Nice place. Relatively new, spacious and well lit hallways, large lobby (open to second floor) so soring ceiling makes it feel even bigger. All areas have been clean every time I visit Mom, no matter what day of the week or what time of day. Now the down side. Assisted living apt should have a reasonably useable kitchen. Small microwave and a 'college room" refrigerator makes it almost impossible to make a snack let alone a meal when Mom would rather not have whatever is on the limited menu that day. No stove/oven so no baking. There is a common kitchen with a stove/oven, so if you want to bake you can - as long as someone else isn't using it. Also they seem a little short staffed. Sunday afternoon there were only two CNAs on duty. All things considered, this is really a wonderful place for Mom. Everyone is friendly, housekeeping is done weekly, laundry is done twice a week! Here's the best way to judge a facility - the people who live there. Only one person was "crabby". Mom has been there almost four months and when I go every week I talk to residents. Except for the crab, they are all happy. Even when they talk about the son or daughter that lives too far away to visit more than once or twice a year, they say it with a smile and a giggle. Most residents know most of the other residents by name and were very open to welcoming Mom to any table at mealtime. So far Heritage Woods of Watseka is not only the best place we visited (by far), but is also is the best place for Mom.

Was a nice smaller place and everyone seemed happy. I was disappointed that I didn't get to see a studio or apt. There is a wait list to get in but I don't have even an estimate of time, [name removed] wouldn't even give any time frame. I understand they don't know for sure, but it would be nice to know if it could be 3 mos or 3 years.

The staff was all very nice. The building was well kept, clean, and smelled clean. The rooms seem very nice, but if I was to consider a place for my mom it would be a studio over the semi-private room. The semi-private didn't feel private at all and are just too small for two people. While we have not made a decision yet, this is a place we will keep at the top of the list.

Seems too large for my mom to navigate easily. Ancillary doors are open during day. Do have overnight front desk person 24/7.

I liked the memory care, especially the individual rooms and the general atmosphere. With only 4 residents when I visited it was not possible to get a good view of the care for residents.

Very good environment

Well organized, residents playing bingo, singing, bowling. Residents seemed very engaged & happy. Nurse seemed very knowledgeable. Was clean and attractive. Nice size rooms. Bring your own furniture. Bldg is located off the street behind other bldgs. Small pkg lot not much outside area.

[Name removed] gave us a good tour. The place is being remodeled in phases so eventually it will be totally updated which will improve the appearances a lot. We toured @ 10:00 am. didn't see much activity of the residents during our visit. It's on our lists of possibles for mom

Good impression. Staff greeted people by name. Large building including Assisted Living. Memory Care a long way from the front entrance. Nice area. Nice dining area. Very Clean. Bring own furniture. $3,000 move in fee. I recommend touring this facility.

The Hearth exceeded our expectations in amenities and room sizes. The facility almost had a luxury resort type feel in the modern, tasteful and welcoming décor. The rooms and halls smelled and looked fresh and clean. We toured during dinner and the aroma and visual appeal of the food was very appetizing. We saw many staff cordially engaging residents in the halls and in the dining area. The residents we encountered seemed happy and content.

The staff is very nice and helpful to my family. They are always there when needed.

Very homey and well maintained. The IL Supportive Living program seems like a wonderful idea. This would be a great option for an elder who anticipates that they will outlive their assets. We are looking for a more independent living program so won’t be our choice at this time.

I have lived here for 6 years and are very satisfied. Sometimes the food is not that great.

Very helpful staff. Because Dwight doesn’t have major medical facilities, the Heritage busses to nearby Kankakee are a significant aid for our mother.

Great facility, staff, and choices of living accomodations. Very clean and organized. I could tell that the residents were well cared for and their needs were being taken care of.

Very nice, residents appear happy, staff nice.
