Fabulous retirement living

All 5. The place is fabulous. My mother loves it there. Everyone is so professional, easy and warm to deal with, and the pricing is very competitive. The residents are treated with the utmost respect. I would highly recommend the Highlands.

Awesome place

The staff and residents were so kind and considerate. My dad had a studio which was perfect for him... unfortunately he became very ill within 2 weeks and passed away soon after.

I was very impressed, and have put down a deposit on an apartment there. All of the staff that I encountered there were knowledgeable and friendly. They had exactly the kind of apartment I was looking for, and I expect to be moving in within the next few months.

The Highlands is a beautiful community. They offer enough for an individual to be independent and feel that they are safe/cared for. It has a family feel and the people that work and live there are very kind. The distance from family was the only reason we went to one of their other communities.

Grateful for the care and compassion

The building is beautiful and the staff couldn't be nicer. I would recommend it to others, it's a very warm, comfortable and welcoming environment and I'm very happy my mom is there now
