The facility and grounds are repeatedly praised. Cherry Heights Living is described as a beautiful setting beside Mill Creek with creek views from some rooms, a backyard patio with nice patio furniture, and bright living spaces with large windows. In-room features cited as positives include kitchenettes and double walk-in closets. Shared amenities such as a TV/movie room and an on-site salon/barber shop add convenience and contribute to a residential feel. Reviewers also mention that transportation is available for appointments and community events, reinforcing the facility's support for residents' independence and engagement.
Dining and activities receive mostly favorable comments but with some variation. Several reviewers call the food excellent and highlight great dining service and attentive staff, while at least one review characterizes the food as only okay.

Notable concerns are limited but worth attention. One concrete negative mention is a smoking odor detected outside the staff area, which may be a localized or occasional issue but could affect perceptions of cleanliness or comfort. There are mixed impressions of food quality, indicating that dining experiences may vary by day or by diner preference. A few reviews mention a staff adjustment period, implying that new hires sometimes require time to settle into routines; this could reflect normal turnover or short-term transition effects.
