The Heritage Park Retirement Communities

In 1984 Heritage Park built the first facility, Heritage Park East for residents who require assistance with the activities of daily living.  In 1987 the second facility, Colonial Inn, was built. It  is unique in that it was the prototype for the new State program for Extended Congregate Care (ECC) which now provides maximum personal care and intermittent skilled nursing for the very frail elderly.  

In 1988 the Heritage Park Communities built Liberty Inn, a skilled nursing facility to provide short-term rehabilitation and nursing care.  Also in 1988, Heritage Park West was created to serve healthy, independent retirees who want hotel-type living, amenities and services, but require no supervision.  

Robert G. Schemel, CEO and General Partner
	Mr. Schemel, has earned state and national recognition for his leadership in programs and services to the elderly.  Together, with the limited partners of the Heritage Park Retirement Communities, he oversees the operations and works to build quality programs for its residents.
Mr. Schemel's Heritage Park leadership team selects and monitors its dedicated and professional staff to result in optimal well-being of the residents.  The continued success of the Heritage Park Communities is no accident - it is the result of an experienced "hands-on" management team. Mr. Schemel is also active with key committees of the Florida Health Care Association and is a member of the national Long Term Professional Advisory Committee of the Join Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations.  Of special significance is that he is very active in lobbying the Florida Legislature on issues involving the elderly.
