Great place for active Senior living. All residents are friendly and happy to be here. There are plenty of activities and we are only two blocks from downtown Walnut Creek. Newton’s Restaurant provides 3 meals a day Monday through Saturday and brunch on Sunday and the food is good and varied. The underground parking is great.

Highly recommended!

I would rate The Heritage at a 5(five) in all seven categories. In terms of value for cost, while the rent may seem high, it is worth it considering what's included and the quality of service. Also there is not an unreasonable entry fee. My thanks to a Place for Mom for their knowledge and patience in helping me find my perfect place.

An oaktree outside my window

A comfortable and pleasant home for the past 10 years. My husband and I survived covid isolation with meals on our doorstep and companions and service with a smile. I've never regretted my stay.

Feel like home

I love the staff. They are ready with everything you want ( or don't even know you want) They are warm, caring, and drop everything to help you. When I come home from, the night courage always my family welcomes with a welcome home and perfect at home! The grounds and apartment are lovely and will maintained but its the staff this stands out as the best. I am so happy there.
