The Heathers Senior Living Homes in Lake in the Hills and Ringwood were named to honor the recently passed matriarch of their family, Sophia (Sally) McDiarmid Kratz. The homes provide comfortable and safe retirement home communities with a strong emphasis on vitality for seniors needing assisted living and memory care. The Ringwood location is a spacious, updated single-family home with a private bathroom in each bedroom, accommodating up to 9 residents. The Lake in the Hills senior living accommodations include two single-story homes, each housing 18 residents in a casual and familial setting.

The Heathers Senior Homes believe that growth can and should occur at all stages of life. They celebrate the skills, ideas, and experiences of seniors by fostering independence, providing life-long learning opportunities, and encouraging physical and mental exercise every day. The Heathers' Way focuses on Doing Senior Living Differently, with a commitment to helping residents maintain or improve their physical, mental, and emotional health.

The Garifo family, as hands-on owners, is dedicated to ensuring that their founding philosophy of Doing Senior Living Differently is at the forefront of all decisions. The Heathers Senior Homes offer a place where loved ones can avoid boredom through life-long learning opportunities, avoid loneliness by sharing with and caring for others as they are cared for themselves, and maintain a sense of purpose through self-governance and self-determination.
