"Mixed Feelings About Lake Howard Heights Assisted Living"
I lived at Lake Howard Heights. It's not super fancy. They keep raising the prices a lot, the food isn't great, and it feels a bit like being in trouble all the time. Parking is really bad, and laundry is only on the first floor. It looks nice and clean, but it's not worth the money.

"Limited Outdoor Space, Otherwise Nice Facility"
This place is really nice. The food is good, and the staff is responsive. My only concern is the limited outdoor space with just a small screened porch.

"Too Large for Us"
This place is really nice, but it's too big. There are 5 floors and a tall tower, which my loved one didn't like. The food is great; they serve breakfast and make muffins there. The staff is friendly, and it’s very clean. But it was just too big for my loved one.

"Great Dining Experience!"
My parents recently moved into this community, and things are going well for them. They like their new living environment and have adapted nicely. The staff has been helpful during the transition, and I feel comfortable with the care they receive. Plus, they offer a fantastic menu with lots of meal options during dining, which they enjoy. Overall, we're pleased with this place and would recommend it.

"Lake Howard Heights: Outstanding Care and Support for Loved Ones"
My 93-year-old mother has lived here since 2004, after my father passed away. She first moved into the independent living tower, and now she's in the assisted living wing. The staff here is amazing. They have strong leadership, caring caregivers, and a great support team. Their job is tough—always demanding, sometimes dealing with grumpy and lonely residents—but overall, the residents seem happy and content. My mom has made and lost many friends over the years, but the Lake Howard Team gets a big 5-star rating and a huge thumbs up from my family.

"Great Place with Caring Staff and Fun Activities"
My mom has lived at Lake Howard Heights for over 4 years and loves it. She enjoys the location, the friendly staff, and feels very safe. There are many activities, but her favorite is the 'mystery rides,' where she takes the bus to a surprise restaurant for lunch. The staff are caring and always available for questions or concerns. They keep a close watch on her and quickly let me know if there's an issue. If she misses a meal, they call or check on her right away. The maintenance team works hard to keep the place nice. Lake Howard Heights overlooks beautiful Lake Howard, which is very calming, and there's always a nice breeze.

"Peace of mind for your loved one"
My mother started as a temporary winter resident at Lake Howard Heights. She then decided to stay permanently as an Independent resident and now receives care as an assisted living resident. The staff at LHH has been very helpful, polite, patient, and caring in meeting my mother’s needs. LHH offers a clean, safe, healthy, and family-friendly place for her. I highly recommend Lake Howard Heights.

"Amazing place for my mother!"
Lake Howard Heights was amazing for my mother during her stay. She is no longer with us, but she really enjoyed the activities, friendships, and the staff there! Lake Howard Heights gave her the independence she wanted, along with a driving service for grocery shopping and doctor appointments. I joked that I would trade places with her and live there myself!

"Perfect choice for our loved one"
My loved one is really enjoying the social life at Lake Howard Heights. She’s been joining sitter-size and painting classes, and she loves the events they hold. Right away, I noticed how clean and fresh it always is here. The staff has been very caring and made her feel welcome from day one with a tour, an activities calendar, and help with her daily needs. While she’s been in rehab, the staff even visits her, bringing treats and making sure she knows she’s missed. We truly feel we made the best choice for her.

"Feels Just Like Home!"
Everything's been great here. The staff is good and the place is always clean. I didn't like the old lobby furniture, but they've changed it now. They are great at keeping me updated on what's going on.

My loved one is very happy here. They are treating her very well. They offer a lot of activities, but she hasn't started participating yet. She also has a beautiful view of the lake from her apartment.

"Best IL and AL around!"
Lake Howard Heights is a great place! We checked out seven different places for my dad, and none matched the friendly staff and value of LHH. he , the sales director, was incredibly helpful!

"Seemed like a nice place"
We visited this community while exploring senior living options for a family member. Lake Howard Heights appeared pleasant enough. The staff we spoke to were friendly, and their services seemed similar to other places we saw. However, I wasn't a fan of the tall building setup, and the only available room during our tour was on the 11th floor. Ultimately, we chose a different community. Still, if you're searching in the area, Lake Howard Heights is worth considering!

"Too Young to Live at the Lake..."
We needed to relocate my grandmother closer to our family. We looked at several places before finding Lake Howard Heights. This has been the best experience by far. I love visiting with the residents when I'm there. They make me smile, and I try to do the same for them. Everyone is so kind, and the staff treat you like family. The grounds are very nice, and the interior is well kept and nicely decorated. The food is exceptionally good. I'm a vegetarian, and I usually don't like the food at other facilities, so I'm thankful that the dining room and kitchen are upscale and restaurant-style. What upsets me is that my sister and I are too young to become residents.

"No Accountability at Assisted Living Facility"
I arranged a meeting. I directly set it up with him. He didn't come or even ring me. I was told by someone else that he would contact me to set up a new meeting. That's almost a week back. He never called. I can't think about staying in a place where the workers don't take promises seriously.

"Wonderful care and kindness shown to my dad"
My father was only at Lake Howard Heights for a short time before he passed, but he was happy and treated wonderfully. I believe he would have thrived there. The staff was just terrific with him.

"Dismal Living Conditions and Terrible Food"
They never cleaned her living space. They were just so terrible. At first, the food she got was no better than what you'd give to a dog - a gross, soft mess. Then, thankfully, they found a new chef and the food got better. I don't encourage anyone to use this facility.

"Wonderful Care at Lake Howard Heights for Dad!"
My sister moved my father to Lake Howard Heights in November, and the transition was really smooth. His room is big, tidy, and clean. He got to bring all his favorite things from home. Dad loves the meals and appreciates not having to cook, shop, or clean up anymore. The staff is super friendly and helpful. He’s adjusting to not driving and is using the transportation services at Lake Howard Heights. I visited several times over the holidays, and there were plenty of fun activities and entertainment every day. He enjoys sittersize and looks forward to it. He also takes part in games and other social events. The staff keeps a close eye on everyone's safety and whereabouts. The dining room, lobby, activity room, and computer room are all nicely decorated and clean. The outside of the building is getting painted, and it looks great. Plus, there are lovely views from the windows, especially of the beautiful Lake Howard!
