Dad likes his new home
I give all categories a 5. My dad really likes it there. The only thing he complains about is the van/bus they use to take trips. It's super old and has no shocks so the old folks are tossed around and could possibly get hurt. Dad won't ride it anymore because it hurts his back too much to

Horrible Experience...Stay Away
Overall we had a pretty bad experience. We paid extra each month for medication management. The staff completely messed up my dad's meds several times, landing him in the hospital. The admin staff were horrible. On several occasions they never got back to my phones calls and we're not available for in person meetings. My dad went down hill very quickly after moving there and only lasted 10 months. He finally was not being able to recover from one of the medication mishaps and died at the hospital, on his birthday. No one at Heritage ever reached out or offered condolences. They just told us we had to clean out his room or they would charge extra rent. The only person who sent a card was the kitchen cook. Very disappointed with Heritage House.

It's super old and has no shocks so the old folks are tossed around and could possibly get hurt. Dad won't ride it anymore because it hurts his back too much to bounce around like that. My dad is hard to please so if he likes it, it must be nice!

Highly recommended
We love Heritage of Portage. They take really good care of my parents and do a great job. I go in there and the other residents and staff tell me how sweet my parents are. The staff are wonderful and do their best to try and make everyone happy. We are very pleased with the whole experience and have already recommended them to our friends and family.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Wisconsin regulations for Assisted Living.
