Very well kept. All employees are sooo nice with the residents. They keep them busy with activities. Food is great. My Dad loves it there and so do I .
My father has been residing at Lake Howard Heights at their assisted living wing for 4 years due to his Parkinson’s Disease. I’ve been impressed with the caring and compassionate staff since day one. The staff at Lake Howard Heights always goes above and beyond in caring for their residents. Their social activities and life enrichment opportunities for both independent living and assisted living are unequaled.

My father has been residing at Lake Howard Heights at their assisted living wing for 4 years due to his Parkinson’s Disease. I’ve been impressed with the caring and compassionate staff since day one. The staff at Lake Howard Heights always goes above and beyond in caring for their residents. Their social activities and life enrichment opportunities for both independent living and assisted living are unequaled. They have a constant line-up of daily activities for their residents so there’s always something to do. I would suggest taking a look at the most recent “Activities Calendars” on their website to see the full range of offerings for their residents. I highly recommend Lake Howard Heights for anyone seeking a first class independent or assisted living community!

I am so impressed with the team at Lake Howard Heights; they treat residents like family. Highly recommend
Everyone there truly treats you like family, the staff and residents.
Lake Howard Heights is right on the edge of Lake Howard, providing gorgeous views, especially from the dining room. LHH also organizes amazing dining events for residents at least once a month!
Nice place but receptionist is rude.
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
