  • Heritage House-An Assisted Living Community Description

    Heritage House is owned and operated by The McGeever family who have lived in Santa Barbara since 1951. The project evolved from our own experience caring for family members challenged with age-related frailty and cognitive decline.

    We found that there was a niche to be filled in providing quality assisted care in an environment that was welcoming, bright with light and laughter, and constantly evolving to respond to the residents who lived there.

    Thereafter followed a long path through entitlement, licensing and construction. Heritage House opened its doors in October of 2002. Bill and Julie McGeever manage day to day activities with an extraordinary staff we count as family. As envisioned, we continue to evolve and fine-tune our programming and physical surroundings. While dedicated care is the cornerstone of our operation, we hope that all our residents and their families also experience a sense of hospitality, empowerment, and belonging. We try very hard to make every day count, for all our people…and their people.
