At Heritage Commons you’ll find lots of things to do and lots of friends to do them with! Heritage Commons offers a diverse, extensive, and very enjoyable social and recreational program. There are over 25 regularly scheduled activities weekly as well as frequent trips to area attractions and entertainment. Many of our most popular activities were suggested by our residents, so if you have a favorite hobby or activity please let us know. We’re always expanding and updating our program to best suit our residents’ interests and needs.  With the exception of outside events that require a ticket, such as plays or concerts, there is never a charge for any Heritage Commons activity.  And transportation to outside events is always free.
