Review for Lake Howard Heights

What impresses me most about Lake Howard Heights is the genuine care and concern the staff shows for the residents.

That said, the compassionate staff, friendly atmosphere, and sense of community make Lake Howard Heights a place I w

The place is worth the money. We'll maintain and very clean thru out the building. Rooms are large and spacious. Many things going on to keep you going thru your aging years. Very open and people running it are the best.

You have to go across a very busy road, which was one of the things I specifically asked for and was not told the truth on my parents left after two weeks there a few things were out of working order nobody ever came to fix them. The staff was very friendly, especially the dining room staff the activity staff was extremely friendly. Nothing just ever got done. The other thing after meal time the Elevator is quite the wait because you've got a bunch of walkers waiting to get in li
