Make One Move When You Choose Heritage Communities

When you select a Heritage community for your retirement, you can enjoy the privacy of your own apartment home, entertain friends and family at your leisure, participate in a robust social calendar to connect with neighbors and engage in your favorite activities. Relax and let us handle all the maintenance for you!

Some of our communities offer our independent living residents “Transitioning in Place”. With this perk, as your care needs evolve, you can choose to receive assisted living services in your independent apartment home. This allows you to remain in your familiar apartment home while receiving a higher level of health care.
