About this community

Highland Lakes Assisted Living in Palm Harbor, Florida, is an assisted living community identified as part of the larger St. Mark Village campus.

Its listed services also include on-site healthcare professionals and nursing support around the clock. The community’s own description presents personalized help alongside residents’ independence.

Four apartment plans are listed: a studio, a deluxe one-bedroom with one bathroom, a deluxe one-bedroom with two bathrooms, and a one-bedroom plan with a kitchen. The apartments are described as spacious, with private lanais, kitchens and living areas. The community labels the plans Cypress, Dogwood, Jacaranda and Royal Palm, respectively.

Assistance with daily tasks and personal care is described as personalized, with medication support also available. Nursing support is provided around the clock, and healthcare professionals are on site. These features cover different aspects of support: help with personal needs, assistance related to medications, and access to healthcare personnel within the community. The information identifies these services as part of Highland Lakes’ assisted living offering.

Three chef-prepared meals are served each day. A third-party description identifies a dining room as the meal setting, providing a shared place for residents to eat. Housekeeping and laundry are also offered, alongside dining and apartment living. These are practical services related to meals and household upkeep. The available details do not describe menus or specify the scope of housekeeping and laundry, so those services are best understood in the terms listed.

Concierge transportation is offered for errands, outings and medical appointments. The listed uses include routine trips for errands, healthcare visits and outings beyond the community. Transportation is described as a separate service from the on-site healthcare and nursing support. The available information names these purposes but does not detail routes or schedules.

Activities and social events are offered to residents. A third-party description characterizes the program as covering physical, intellectual, cultural and spiritual interests, giving it several areas of focus rather than a single activity type. This outlines the range of interests the program is intended to address, while the community’s information does not name particular activities or events. The social calendar and transportation offerings are among the practical features described alongside apartment options and care support.

My aunt has been here a few years and it is always clean, the staff is friendly, and there are so many activities for the residents. Safe and well taken care of is a blessing that she deserves.

My mom has only been at St Mark/ Highland Lakes for two weeks and I can't say enough about how happy we are that we chose this facility. Cindy was the first person we encountered when touring the facility. She was very knowledgeable and made us feel better when explaining how assisted living would improve my mom's life style. Mo has kept my sister and I apprised of my mom's health issues and needs. Amy at the front desk has gone out of her way to help with some of our needs and or concerns.

My mom has only been at St Mark/ Highland Lakes for two weeks and I can't say enough about how happy we are that we chose this facility. Cindy was the first person we encountered when touring the facility. She was very knowledgeable and made us feel better when explaining how assisted living would improve my mom's life style. Mo has kept my sister and I apprised of my mom's health issues and needs. Amy at the front desk has gone out of her way to help with some of our needs and or concerns. Mike in maintenance has also been very helpful. The whole staff is so attentive and friendly. I wish I knew the names of the whole staff because they all deserve cudos. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone 100 percent!!! Vic, the director, is very approachable and very helpful as well. Undoubtedly a 5 Star residence.

I never dreamed my mom could be happy any place other than home. We were so lucky to find Highland Lakes. It is clean, the food is great and the caring staff is amazing. They tend to her every need. It’s a relief knowing I have nothing to worry about when it comes to mom’s wellbeing.

Great small facility. Quiet setting. Staff is professional and helpful.

Very nice happy and energetic staff they are very welcoming. There Christmas dinner was a very nice family experience.

Well done. Very friendly staff. Thank you.

Highland Lakes Assisted Living is EXACTLY what I had been looking for. The staff is caring, loving, and treat each resident like family. The residents always seem to be thriving, and enjoying each day. HIGHLY RECOMEND!

Five stars are not enough to give this facility. Monice and her staff of Nurses and Aids are absolutely AMAZING. They truly care about their residents! Mike in Maintenance goes above and beyond for residents needs and wants. Karey keeps her residents happy and fulfilled with her (personality) planning activities, entertainment and social events. These are just a few of the people that deserve a shout out at this facility. The food is amazing. The facility is very clean and should be commended. Like I said, this facility deserves more than five stars.
