Love at first sight

My mom and I walked into Lake Howard Heights and instantly put down a deposit. We moved everything about it. The employees are super sweet and my mom absolutely loves being there. She has made so many friends already and it’s only been two months since she moved in.

Lake Howard Heights

Although the cleaning staff does a terrible job keeping my mom's apartment clean...so I'd give apartment cleanliness a. They are extremely friendly and show a lot of concern and care for the residents. This is the 5th one my mother has been at and she is definitely the happiest here

Feels like home

A lovely residence where each employee treats the residents with kindness and care. The building is very clean and well cared for. The apartments are generously sized. They have a very robust activities schedule; there's always something to do if you want. We moved my in-laws out because Mom had some health problems and needed more care than she and Dad could afford.

To be perfectly honest, they are the friendliest group of people I have run into on the 4 continents l've lived on. Most all of staff go out of their way to please everyone. It was the first thing I noticed

ones opinion

Too early to really rate value for cost. Well managed. Exceptionally so. Quality of management and of staff. Concern for residents. Excellent quality of space and cleanliness and quality of repair of space are some of the things I like the most about Lake Howard Heights. I do not understand how they recruit, hire, and retain the consistently high quality of management staff. Even if salaries are very high, who finds these outstanding people.

Save your money and move elsewhere!

I've lived at Lake Howard Heights and it's not all the bells and whistles you'd think. They increase the rates several times a year, the food isn't the best, and it feels like a glorified detention center. The parking is horrible and they only have laundry on the first floor. It's a pretty place and they keep it clean, but not the value for what you pay.

I love Lake Howard Heights!

I am currently a resident at Lake Howard Heights and everything is great for me here at this facility! All of the staff are so wonderful and willing to help you adjust to your new home. The atmosphere is always so cheerful that if a new resident doesn't feel at home and happy about living here, they will soon make new friends, join in on activities, and begin to enjoy themselves. That is what I did right away when I moved in. I love Lake Howard Heights! I would recommend this facility to others.

Dad is doing well since coming to live at Lake Howard Heights. He enjoys his meal buddies and has much more interaction than when he lived alone so the group setting is good for him. Thank you so much.
