The good, the bad, the ugly

Living here six years. 190 units so a variety of personalities. A decent looking exterior community with regular lawn care service (albeit some outdoor resident decor is excessive and patio residents like to "sprawl" into shrubs). Highlands offers top notch maintenance staff --always pleasant and respectful. Typical noise levels for elder living (loud TV's d/t hearing issues, slamming doors, hallway chatter, visiting grandkids). Pets allowed (restrictions apply). Dog owners tend to congregate on specific residentia

Found a comfortable new community for my father

Help was appreciated. Help finding a good home for your loved one is just a phone call away. I recommend using a place for mom to others.

A nice community with extremely nice neighbors.

When it comes to the meals and dining they have a lot of dinners and lunches you can buy during that month. What we like most about Highlands at Mahler Park is the daily activities and smaller trips. What we like the least is that it is a little pricey. They should have a get together when people in move so they can go over everything and show the new residents how things work.
