Review for Suncoast East

Heron East is now Suncoast East! Brand new owners and a fabulous new Executive Director are upgrading so many things. It is feeling like a completely new home. I recommend Suncoast East more!

Heron East Fits the Bill

My sister-in-law was recently evaluated by her neurologist who recommended that she move to an assisted living facility. My husband and I immediately reached out to A Place For Mom, and they provided a list of options for us that fit her financial condition.

The staff was friendly and accommodating, the facility appeared to be very clean, and the folks we met who lived there appeared to be content and happy. Our relati

Recommend Heron East!

There are so many state rules that the facility has some challenges. This makes some things difficult. Wish that the aids and med-techs didn't have to be servers at meals. This makes their availability much harder for residents who will have to wait for assistance. Also, night meds seem to come very late on some nights. Great executive director!

Heron East has its own charm sitting in a remarkable beautiful community.......

I'm very happy for [name removed]. He has the freedom to walk around the beautiful outdoor area. Trees and shade everywhere. A pond with turtles and fish, who eat the bread that is thrown to them. 10 for the food, [name removed] loves the food. Chef introduced himself to us and said not to hesitate to ask for something. He will do his best. [name removed] is the best. He did everything to help [name removed]. We had a big problem getting a sign prescription list. [name removed] managed to have their doctor help sol
