They have gone ABOVE and BEYOND to make sure her transition into assisted living is as seamless as possible. Izabela is literally an angel here on Earth and always looking out for the residents best interest. I know now place is perfect but the staff here genuinely cares about their residents which shows time and time again.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In the past two years both my parents (Ridge Creek) and my in-laws (The Artisan) have moved into the Heritage Community. As a daughter/in-law I am continually comforted by the decision each couple made by moving into a CCRC - Heritage Community. These decisions were not made lightly. I personally researched all the Independent, Assisted, Memory Care living options in Kalamazoo. Meeting with Joe P, learning what Heritage has to offer: its long established local history, and status as a Non- For Profit - as a family we realized Heritage was the best and only choice to make. My advise to those searching for living options: Now is the Time. It is far better to make the transition early while you can versus when and if a crisis arises. Waiting until you "have to" greatly limits your options. Everyone within the Heritage Community has an aging related issue; that is what makes it unique - Everyone Gets It. Living among others has improved the over all health of all four parents. All are eating better. The food service is terrific - chefs at both kitchens create satisfying and delicious meals. Staff do a wonderful job making everyone feel welcomed and valued. All are more socially engaged. The variety of social activities is endless. The staff work hard at coming up with a wide variety of social activities. In looking at the definition of Community: "A feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests & goals which fosters a sense of belonging and well being". I believe Heritage Community of Kalamazoo exemplifies this definition. Getting older isn't for sissies but with smart decisions, guidance and support making the transition is not as scary as it was years ago. I highly recommend learning what Heritage of Kalamazoo has to offer you and your family. I encourage interested parties to take a tour and see this special Community in Kalamazoo.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ridge Creek is truly unique among retirement communities, and that is what drew us here. No other place in Kalamazoo offers such large apartments, high ceilings, large windows, and underground parking. However, the most important feature is the outdoor deck or patio for each apartment. The “icing on the cake” is its central location — ideal for shopping, medical facilities, entertainment, and dining.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. moved here a year ago and am extremely happy. the best part are the people, staff and residents! very welcoming and cordial. activities are well planned out and fun but you can go to as many or as few as you are comfortable. concerts, games, book club,excercise classes and fitness center!!!!
