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.... Read more

April 29, 2024Thank you for your outstanding review!
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

February 23, 2024Thank you so much for your kind words! We are grateful that this team has made a positive impact with you!
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.

I was pleasantly surprised at the friendly interaction of friends between the welcoming residents here and the professional staff. Most of the residents are elderly and have a variety of health problems. All residence are al well cared for and treated with respect. It is a comfortable place to live

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 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.

I toured Lake Howard Heights and it was great! This facility was our first choice. It's a very nice place, much nicer than the other facility in the area that we toured. The facility was very clean and the friendliness was pretty good. It's also more affordable than most.
I would recommend this facility to family and friends.

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
