We have lived here nearly a year and…read morehave found the transition from owning our own home to living in a retirement community a very positive experience. We had help with downsizing and with moving. We love the interaction we have with other independent living residents. There are activities galore - as many or as few as we want. We also like the fact that, if we need an additional level of care, it is available right here at Santa Marta.

And the interior is spotlessly clean. There is no odor. None. I don't know how they keep it so pristine. My friend seems to enjoy the meals, and the friends she is making.

It is not the staffs responsibility to make sure the facility has adequate staffing, it is the CEO, DON, and the corporations responsibility. If you take care of your staff, they will take care of your patients. PTO is earned and a benefit for staff. Have the respect to honor their time away to rest, relax, and re-coop; they deserve it. Maybe management needs to help cover the floor or you need to hire more PRN staff to give the FT staff a break when they ask; especially when its isn't the management team coming in to work every holiday.

Soon after getting settled he had to have a bladder surgery the antistatic accelerated the dementia to the point I wasn't able to care for him so he was moved to the memory center. I also had to have a pacemaker put in at the same time. Luckily we we settled where we both had the care we needed. I'm still in independent living but walk through the hall to see my husband every evening and feed him his dinner,then spend time with him until he is put to bed. Everyone's very friendly and helpful.

After having experienced other rehab facilities, we were so grateful to have found this facility and team. Our onboarding meeting was buttoned up, informative, and covered ALL the bases. The entire team delivered wonderful, wonderful care -- a MAJOR change from where we had done rehab previously which was heartbreaking and on the verge of downright negligent. Major bonus points for the food and expansive menu, which our mom said was consistently delicious (again, unlike other places where she could barely stomach what was served). I was also so impressed with how clean the entire facility was, and how attentive they were to keeping our mom's bed + clothing + linens always clean (any accidents were dealt with IMMEDIATELY). The staff truly cares about the patients and residents. They're doing God's work, and they have wonderful hearts. You can feel at peace knowing your loved one will truly get the best care.

When it got to the point that he needed around the clock care, I started researching assisted living places. This place is about as good as you'll ever find. They have very friendly and knowledgable staff. The facilities are amazing. The food is good (good to know as a guest!). They do outtings and events and they have TVs and good places for people to sit. The building is very secure and all precautions are in place. I loved this place and my grandfather was here for 5 years. I would recommend it to anyone facing the hard decision of where to move their loved one.

She was able to get up and transfer to the bathroom, etc., but the night staff put a diaper on her and told her to urinate in it instead of taking her to the bathroom. This was only the worst thing they did. We told the director of the facility and the nursing staff managers, and it happened two more times before I identified the specific CNA. The staff protected the identity of the bad apple in lieu of solving the problem. My family was fortunately able to move my sister before it happened again. The owners of the facility are making a ton of money and present their story as a caring family business but are another example of corporate greed. DON'T GO THERE!

The most important thing we were looking for in a facility was quality of care. Heritage has it. The staff is very attentive and responsive to any questions or concerns. The size of the facility is a very good fit for us. Often times other residents' families tell us how much they like the staff and quality of care, which affirms our belief that we picked the right place. Kip, the owner, is very engaged with the staff and residents. It gives me comfort that if I ever had a concern that he would address it promptly. Very pleased with Heritage.
