Heritage House Assisted Living, open since 1984 and family-owned, sits on a lush two-acre property with shady trees and well-kept lawns, where seniors can walk or relax outside, and is known for its small, family-oriented environment that feels comforting to many folks. The building has clean, peaceful spaces with both indoor and outdoor common areas for residents to gather, including patios, a library, residents' lounge, dining rooms with restaurant-style service, a book room, game areas, a movie theater, and a barber or beauty parlor. The rooms are either private studios-each one can be personalized and comes with cable or satellite TV and an emergency call system-or semi-private spaces with private or shared bathrooms.
Care at Heritage House is designed for people who need light to medium help day to day, with staff on duty and awake 24 hours, and a schedule that keeps residents busy with things like Bingo, arts and crafts, live music, fitness classes, exercises, weekly shopping trips, and even animal therapy or movie nights. Each person gets a personalized care plan before moving in, so the trained caregivers know how best to help with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, bathroom help, and medication management, plus specialized care for memory issues, hospice care, or respite stays if someone's usual caregiver needs a break. There's a mobile barber or hairdresser and meal time includes three homemade meals each day, with diabetic diets or low salt options if needed, and staff can help with feeding if someone needs that.
Devotional services are available both on-site and off-site to support spiritual needs. Medical care involves regular check-ins from visiting nurses, podiatrists, doctors on call, therapists for speech and movement, and help with things like moving from bed to wheelchair, which is especially valuable for folks who may not move about easily on their own. If residents want to get out, the staff can arrange rides for doctor visits, errands, or trips related to their faith.
Heritage House makes an effort to create a supportive, community-centered atmosphere, organizing regular entertainment, workshops for learning, physical activities, and social events, as well as maintaining a wellness and safety monitoring system throughout the building. Medicaid long-term care, managed care, private pay, and Veterans Administration Aid & Attendance are all accepted. Meals are home-cooked and considered good, with the kitchen able to make menu changes for special dietary needs. Everything at Heritage House seems to work together to help older residents keep as much independence and confidence as possible, with management and caregivers who have a reputation for being excellent and caring. The facility is licensed by the state of Florida, License #: 5401, and aims to keep the atmosphere friendly and focused on quality care without being overwhelming or fancy.
