Description

About This Community
Our Senior Living community is located on Lake Howard Drive, which travels the perimeter of one of the most popular lake on the Chain of Lakes here in Winter Haven. Many of our apartments and common areas face the lake, known for its exquisite sunsets. There is a lovely walking path and dock located within walking distance from the front doors of Lake Howard Heights, to add to the perks of lakeside living. Our community is also located within 1.5-2.0 miles from the city's downtown area, full of lively shopping and dining, as well as the local library.

We ended up placing our friend at Lake Howard Heights. We chose that because the level of staffing was higher and it's a beautiful place. At the moment, she's in independent living awaiting entry into the assisted living section, but they have supplied independently contracted aides to take care of her. The staff is very friendly and courteous, they're very open and kind. You can see them talking to the residents, it's not just that once you get in, they ignore you. They talk to the residents, they're around them, and they're assisting them. I have been with her for one meal, and it was very nice, and when I ask her how the meals are, she says they're good, and she's a picky eater. The activities have been negative so far, it's available but it's just not meeting her needs. The facilities are very nice, it's like living in a home. As of today, I would say she's getting beyond what she paid for. I said that because while we're waiting for her to get into the assisted living portion, they're providing contracted independent caregivers to stay with her, and that's way beyond my expectation.

We had a very good tour experience. The staff was outstanding. We moved in the 1st of the month in independent and headed for assisted. We're in a temporary room, and it's very nice. The dining area looks great. The food is pretty good and has good variety. There's a full calendar of activities. They have Bible study, a lot of lunch trips and great variety of things.

It was the older one, but it was good. The director spent a lot of time with us, explained things thoroughly and also gave some information about applying for VA benefits and other types of benefits that might be available. The place seemed to be really clean, and it didn't have a bad smell to it. One of the things that I like about it was that you didn't have to walk a long way to get from one spot to another. For somebody who is having a health problem, I think that would be an important feature.

The apartments were very nice. They were painted, and they had new carpets. The dining room seemed very well equipped.

My mom moved here in July. She has been very happy there. Everyone has been very friendly, and there is a family atmosphere. There are many activities for the residents, and my mom has gotten involved in some of them. It is a relief to me to have her in a safe, caring environment.

I just went out and talked to a whole bunch of different communities in the area and I liked this one the best. They were very friendly, very helpful, and they made me feel at ease with my dad living there. His apartment is not big, but it is big enough for him. It suits him just fine. He has got a little living room, a bedroom, and there is a lot of storage because they have their own storage area in each apartment. The kitchen has everything in it such as the stove, a fridge, and all that. So far, the staff has been good. I haven't had any issues. He seems to be very happy. I think he'd probably tell me if he wasn't. The food is really good. The dining room is a lot like a restaurant. Every day they give you three options for each meal and you just pick what you want. I've eaten there a couple of times and it was pretty good. They go on outings and things like that. I know that they have different things during the day that people can go to if they want. There is a little library and coffee area, so it just depends on how social you really want to be. They just seem to make all the residents really comfortable and it is a homey environment.
