I'm in Lake Howard Heights. I was going to go to another one which was better priced, but the management there was unfriendly and unprofessional, so I moved here. This is more expensive, but we negotiated a fair price. The apartment is brand new. I have a brand-new modern bathroom with very secure fittings, beautiful appliances, fixtures, a complete kitchen, which is really nice, unusual for a retirement area, and a great view. I'm on the eleventh floor. The staff is very friendly. They don't ask for tips or anything. They do it out of goodness. I've got a lot of deliveries building this apartment and no one's ever complained about it. They've always brought it up to my room. If you're not feeling well, they will take the meals which are supposed to be eaten in the common area. They'll bring the meal up to you, which is really nice room service, especially for independent living. They have a chef and the food can be good. The problem in our place is that they pick food that I don't necessarily like. I only like about half of the menu. You have a selection here and they have an alternate, so in the end, there's always something that you can enjoy for any meal. Due to some health problems, I haven't yet gone downstairs to do the activities. Of what they told me, there are interest groups in playing games, watching TV, and junkets to downtown, so they have something for everybody. The food is a blend of very good and very mediocre, but there's always something that somebody will like, because they have an alternate of soup or a burger or something like that.

I did a tour of Lake Howard Heights. What I liked best was the options for living. They had like a studio, a deluxe studio, a one-bedroom, and a two-bedroom options for people to live in. I liked the fact that they had round-the-clock medical staff on duty. What I liked the least was, that some things look a little dated and maybe some things that weren't very well maintained. There was an outside patio area for the residents to sit and with some torn screens that looked like they needed to be addressed. I have not tried the food, but I've heard that there's a chef who makes all the food and that the residents can come in and sit down and look at a menu like they're in a restaurant, and order whatever they want. The staff were great. Because they require la $5,000 one-time community fee, I think they could have done a better job at maintaining the property. There shouldn't be anything broken. They should have more updated things in the apartment. They shouldn't have carpeted floors and should have tile floors or hardwood floors. Also, they did kind of have a smell.

Lake Howard Heights was nice. It's not expensive. It just was unaffordable for us. That's one of the reasons why we didn't take my grandmother there. It was a nice facility. Everything was nice. It smells really good. It's nice and fresh. There's a lot of lighting. The people that were there seemed to be enjoying the time. The staff was great. Everything was just top-notch service from a visitor's standpoint. We saw a very nice restaurant. The staff was excellent. They were very nice and very committed. They go to a pool nearby, but it wasn't part of the building. They had a lot of games, bingo, and events, and they would call a comedian and singers. It was just heaven. There were a lot of activities and puzzles. That place used to be a hotel and turned into an assisted living building. It's very organized.

My brother liked Lake Howard Heights. When we went to tour the place, they gave us all the information, they took the time, and they answered all our questions. The staff was very, very helpful, very professional, and very nice and open. They greeted us with a smile and we felt like it was a happy place. It was the cleanest facility that I have ever seen. They offered a lot of activities for their residents. So, if one person didn't like one thing, he could do the other thing. They also honored veterans there.

Lake Howard Heights was nice. It was an older building, but it was very clean. They had transportation available, a hair salon, and a dining area that looked like a restaurant. The only thing they had available at the time was a studio. It was clean, but it wasn't big enough for what we needed. The staff was friendly. We went on a Sunday and our tour went OK, but I don't think they knew we were coming. So, the person who showed us around was a caretaker, and I think she was in the middle of assisting somebody. She did the best she could. She just couldn't answer all our questions, but we got that point of view from somebody who actually cared for the residents.

We talked to a number of residents at Lake Howard Heights and they were very, very complimentary. If we can make a choice, we'd probably go there. It's downtown. It's closer and the elevators made it very easy to get to the places. The people were very enthusiastic. Ricky was the one who took us around. I think the drawback in our case was I don't think they're very big in space to walk outside, and I don't think they have a lot of exercise equipment inside. I was a bit concerned about that, but I think it's well done. The apartments have been remodeled more recently, so they're nicer. The facility was more like being in a hotel kind of setting. It's more expensive as well, but I think you get what you pay for. They had a library, there were people crocheting/sewing, and another group that were playing cards. So, residents were out and about and doing things. They got the bus out there right there, too. So, they're just more active, and that was good. The atmosphere was very upbeat.

I was at Lake Howard Heights yesterday for a tour. It was nice. I liked it well. The room was amazing. It had great appliances and everything. The one bedrooms were very nice. I could see myself living there. The studios were okay, but they were just small. If I can afford the one-bedroom and it's available, if I go there, that's what I would probably take. They have a cafeteria which seems well-run and comfortable looking. They have activities. I spoke to a couple of residents, and they were friendly and nice. It was a nice experience. The whole building looked well-maintained and in good condition. For activities, they had chess, cards, table games, and board games. The staff was knowledgeable and very helpful, and she explained everything very clearly. I was very happy with it. If I was in a position right now, I would have signed in to move into a one-bedroom if I had everything else taken care of, but I've got a lot to do and things to work out before I can do anything.
