Our experience

I like a few things. One is the price for doing your laundry is included in the rent. They have a bus that on certain days go to different places. Like doctors appointments, and shopping. The staff are very nice and helpful .

Review for Village at Heritage Oaks

My mom lives there. The building is clean and beautiful. The staff is wonderful. There are always such great activities. Today is National Chip and Dip day. And they are having a Chip and Dip tasting! Followed by this evening, a showing of "Casablanca"! Definitely would recommend it.

Review for Heritage Oaks

Cleanliness - good except that a resident had cats (the place was not being cleaned properly). Staff - friendly and accommodating. Very sensitive to the needs of the residents.
