We love The Heathers! My Father has been there for a few months and the change in him has been terrific! He loves it! The care for the residents has been superb! The facility is top notch. Very clean and feels like home. We recommend The Heathers with a 5 star rating!!- Mark D
My Mom moved into The Heathers in December. It was a very easy transition thanks to the staff at The Heathers. They are always available to answer any questions. I highly recommend trusting your loved ones to live here.- Jill H
My Husband has been at The Heathers for almost two years. If you can't remain in your own home, The Heathers is the best choice....It is small enough that all the staff gets to really know the residents and their individual personality and needs. I so appreciate the care they give my husband.This is a wonderful place. It is a smaller community that is privately owned, and new. Everyone is very caring and friendly. The community feels like home. Housekeeping, all the meals, linen changes, room, and all the utilities are included in the monthly fee. Medication management, dressing assistance, toiletings assistance, and more are some of the care the community offers my loved one. I think the food is pretty good, and they cook right on site. The residents have the opportunity to assist with making the meals.”- Colleen BThe Heathers is an excellent assisted living home. Yes. A home. They treat my mom like family. The meals are healthy and delicious. They are caring and show respect to all those that live there. I am so relieved to have my mom there. The staff are professional yet caring. The home is spotless, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. Thank you for all you do!- Cindy HOur Mom moved into The Heathers Senior Homes in December 2022 and it has been truly a blessing. Her home is beautiful and the attention to detail and design provide a safe environment while still warm and homey.Her caregivers, nursing staff, and the rest of the folks are wonderful and my mom always says how nice everyone is. They communicate and keep us updated and send pictures of mom. They have great activity schedule and fun themed meals /days. Mom always looks nice and especially loves that they do her nails every week.The Heathers has taken off the care giving responsibility and let us be a family again. Visits with mom are great whether we hang out at her home, go to bingo, or run to the store. Our situation was difficult as we moved mom from Arizona to live in Illinois and I was always worried if I made the right decision....I don't wonder anymore because mom is thriving.- John BIn my view, The Heathers Senior Homes facility in Lake in the Hills fulfills 3 essential criteria needed for an effective Senior Home Facility:

"We visited The Heathers after visiting 2 other facilities and we are so happy we did. They answered all of our questions and put our concerns at ease. After breaking her hip and 4 months of rehab, my mother-in-law was not able to go back to living independently. The Heathers made the transition seamless for both her and us. The attention, love, care and respect they give to each and every resident is wonderful!! After being there for just a month, she thanked us for finding her a new home, not a place or facility, but a home. The entire staff make you feel like family and we could not be happier."

“In anticipation of the Ringwood-based home opening for occupancy, The Heathers have been caring for my 89 year old mother. We are proud to say she will be Resident #1 in the home! During this time their caregiver has given amazing care and Mom just loves her. We have also had multiple visits by owners, management, and medical staff. In conjunction with a visiting Advocate nurse, The Heather’s staff has been able to turn around a Stage 2 pressure wound in record time! They also are super diligent about making sure that the various treatments align with the medical situation... My Mom reacted poorly to a new medication prescribed by her primary care physician who had not seen her in 8 months. The Heathers care partner sounded the alarm and convinced Mom to give up the medication. The new medicine was obviously messing with her entire system. The Heathers Care Partner brought in their Lead Medical person for confirmation and worked with me (the family) on the next steps. ”

“I had the pleasure of attending an open house at The Heathers Senior Living. I have to say that I was more than pleasantly surprised with my emotion. I have been in this industry for over 25 years and have been marketing to senior living facilities; independent, assisted and skilled nursing. I have come to not set my expectations very high regarding atmosphere and care.
I say my emotion overcame me because I was greeted by a village of family members. This is a family run and operated business. The concept I learned surrounding the idea behind opening the Heathers was built on their grandmother being in an independent facility. There they had a good experience but felt it lacked the “family atmosphere”. This is what The Heathers has definitely fostered.
The buildings are well rounded. The atmosphere is warming and serene. I would recommend The Heathers because for me I feel like it is “La Familia-a place I can call home”.”-Bethany F
"I have been a resident with my wife since last year. What I appreciate the most is the individual attention of each member of the staff gives to each resident. The home is great and any requests are immediately responded to. The food served is excellent and well balanced. We toured and looked at seven different homes before choosing The Heathers and this is the best place for us."

"My family is so happy to have found The Heathers. The care here has been excellent. They have taken extra steps to make sure my mother is happy, safe, clean and healthy. For us, the respect they show for my mother means so much.
They are excellent with communication. We regularly hear from the director, nurses and CNAs with photos, updates, and personal communication regarding my mother's status!"

"We had our mom at 3 other places. Nothing compares to The Heathers. The staff took care of her as if she was their own. The house is well maintained, clean and really is homey compared to the "big" places. We cannot say enough about the care she received and the trust we had in the staff."

"My mom was at The Heathers several days for respite care. She was given excellent care from a very caring staff. The food is excellent there. It's all homemade fresh daily. I will continue to use The Heathers Senior Homes for future respite care for my mother."
