Be sure you are ready

Because I was falling a lot- I thought I should move to a facility that could help elderly people. I somehow misunderstood that the nurses "on site" were residents and not service providers. I am 83 years old, but am very healthy, active and very independent. I walk my dogs over a mile every day. The facility at Hessler Heights was extremely clean, the food was excellent and I found every single staff member (including the maintenance people) very friendly and always helpful. I don't think any of them knew the word "no". [name removed] , one of the Managers, was extremely efficient, gracious and helpful. In all my years of working (over 65 years) I have never met a more pleasant, kind or helpful staff! Unfortunately, I was not ready for the regiment of the meals ( which were all excellent), the constant waiting at the elevators and the health issues that many residents had. Although I had visited the facility 3 times, and had asked many questions, I was not prepared. And so because of my different needs, I only stayed at Hessler Heights for a short time. I had absolutely no problem with any staff when I advised them I was moving back to my old apartment. I gave proper notice and was refunded all of my money. The owner of the Company (of which there are about 40 facilities nationwide) has instilled his personal philosophy - which is " People first.. then everything else will turn out well". They practice what they preach! I would recommend Hessler Heights to anyone... but be sure you are ready.

Hessler Heights

The biggest concern has been the food quality. The vegetables are often too mushy and the meals tend to be overly salty. We spoke with the chef, who mentioned that corporate switched to a lower-cost food distributor, which unfortunately shows in the quality. As a result, the meals are not as good as we had hoped. On the other hand, the activities are excellent—this is one of the standout features. There’s a wide variety, and my mom truly enjoys participating in them. Another challenge is the dining structure. My mom doesn’t eat breakfast and occasionally skips dinner, though she regularly attends lunch. It would be much more practical if there were a flexible meal plan—something like a college-style system where you have a card with a set amount of money to use as needed, with the ability to reload it and roll over unused funds. As it stands now, unused meals feel like wasted money that could otherwise go toward rent. That said, we really do love the community overall. The staff and residents are wonderful, my mom feels safe, and she truly enjoys the activities and amenities.

The facility looked well maintained and felt very energetic. The staff is very friendly and the residents I encountered were very friendly and honest about the facility, providing positive feedback. Aside from some light-hearted fun about the quality of the food, overall our visit was very positive. It’s my understanding that the food quality has improved and the residents were in good spirits about the improvements. Only one small compliant about the condition of the men’s room on the first floor by the dining room. It needed some light plumbing repair of the urinal.

Review for Hessler Heights

Go on a first-name basis with everyone. These people are only looking to help you so help yourself. The more I did right by them, the friendly they were to me. It's true one hand does wash the other. To this day, I firmly believe in being polite to of the staff. That's the key to getting along at Hessler.

Staff is great. Food is great. Activities could be better. I think the planned games are for younger people. Good movies. Some residents seem to not be "independent living" candidates. Mainly due to the activities comments - some residents do not share my opinions on that issue. I think it could be much better.

Love the facility. Was given incentives to sign contract the day of my tour. I was unable to keep the terms of the contract and move in on the date stated b/c I could not downsize and get house on the market in time. I left message for director informing him and asked what we could do as I still wanted to live there. Any chance of changing the date? I had not submitted my deposit check as I had a family emergency and was helping with a relative with dementia and was carrying the check around in my purse. Manager got in touch and said he would contact regional sales manager and call me back.there was no further contact.

Hessler Heights review

Hire more help. People that clean the toilets and the floors are also serving our males. That is not safe. They also need to clean the carpets in the hallways and vacuum every day. Because there is a lot of debris and stains on the carpet. The activities are extremely limited and based on those with memory loss when there are more of us. Who have all our marbles and would like to do other things that require our intelligence? I am furious. This place is a dump. The sheriffs are here every day. Because there is a resident that is disruptive. How in the heck did she get in here? It is ridiculous i'm looking elsewhere

The managers are very helpful. The housekeeping was pretty good. Maintenance was a problem, but they did get rid of the maintenance person. I don't know if they replaced him yet. Communication with the family is okay. The move in process was smooth. The meals are not great. Very salty and taste like they are frozen meals. The chef is not receptive to changes. They have had meetings with the residents to get input and he gets defensive. I know it's hard to get employees, but a better chef and more staff to serve the meals would be nice. Overall, I would recommend the facility to others.

Highly Recommended Place to Spend Your Retirement at

I moved to the Hessler Heights with intention of moving to Wilmington NC near sea shore... however, after moved in to the H. H., the facility itself tells me that this is a good place to stay. The convincing location, and the friendliness of people, both management staffs, or other residents, have shown a tremendous sense. we are the family! Mind you, I am a handicapped, and you shall see each time as soon as I entered the dinning room trying to find a comfortable spot... see how many people got up to get me a spot, and to help me until I am comfortably sit ...

Hessler Heights is the new best thing for Independent Living

The staff at Hessler Heights are very warm and friendly. The move in process was very easy. The food is not as good as it once was because the original chef that they had quit. They are trying to fix it, though. It is honestly a beautiful facility with a ton of wonderful amenities. I would highly recommend it to others.

Review for Hessler Heights

We loved the clean bright facility, and loved the fact they were a perfect place for transitioning from independent living to assisted living, which gave the residents a choice of services (dining, housekeeping, shuttle, activities) that hey wished to use. My parents were reluctant to accept assisted living options but LOVE the people, the place, and feel safe.

Great staff - would recommend

It is independent living, not assisted living, but the staff have been wonderful to support a variety of needs for residents. They're always very friendly, responsive to questions and helpful in resolving any issues. We only wish they also offered assisted living support.

Great place - wish it would have worked out.

We brought our family member in from out of state and dropped him off late. He ended up knocking on doors at 2 am and left the facility and got locked out. So I got a call in the morning letting me know that he can't stay there. So we ended up hiring 24-hour care so he could stay there until we found a new place. They stayed up until 1 am to await his arrival that first night, and during the time he was there, the staff was very accommodating. The place itself is phenomenal. I just wish it would have worked out because it was so nice.

Independent living facility better than I expected

I have been surprised by the experience with this community. This community itself is bright and spacious and my loved one is content with her accommodations. I like the weekly house keeping services. My loved one stated that the people are friendly and attentive. The only drawback is that management is on the new side and there has been some turn over. With that comes some changes but for the most part everything has been good. The dining staff are lovely and friendly and I feel like they get ample food. The food is very diverse and it would be nice if they had more of vegetarian, vegan options for all of the residents.

Would Recommend

This is a new community locally. It's a large corporation that has places throughout the country but is new in Leesburg. And they're having a number of management issues. Part of it I know is outside of their control due to staffing issues everyone is facing. But I'm saddened that an organization as experienced as the Hawthorn group, sent a newly instated management team to open this facility. Consequently, I think they've had management issues that aren't necessarily to do with staffing - poor planning decisions, etc. They have some very inexperienced staff members for things like activities. But I love it here and wouldn't want to change residences. Everyone is so friendly., which is paramount to me. I love the facility itself. It's brand new and very nice, and clean overall except for the common hallways and elevators could use a little more attention. I just hope they will continue to get better.
