4.3 · 33 reviewsWe toured Highland Place. The staff showed us around the facilities and the rooms, and a rate chart that showed how much it would be. We also saw some of the residents playing some games. The library was nice, and we sat and talked there for quite a long time. It's a smaller place, but it was kept up well. At their place, we could get a double unit. They're remodelling and putting new stuff in, and the new part that we saw was very nice, modern, and had new colors. So, what they're doing to improve the place was nice.
Please think twice before sending your loved one here. Please check other facilities. 1. They were very attentive by email, phone, text before my mom came to them. Afterward and especially when I started asking questions and digging out specific information, I was ignored for days and had to reach out multiple times and still to no avail. 2. No cameras in any part of the facility so when something amiss happens, they have no idea and no liability. This happened when they called me and told me my mom fell. Also, they keep DEA lock up drugs on premise. Why in the world would you not have…

Please think twice before sending your loved one here. Please check other facilities. 1. They were very attentive by email, phone, text before my mom came to them. Afterward and especially when I started asking questions and digging out specific information, I was ignored for days and had to reach out multiple times and still to no avail. 2. No cameras in any part of the facility so when something amiss happens, they have no idea and no liability. This happened when they called me and told me my mom fell. Also, they keep DEA lock up drugs on premise. Why in the world would you not have cameras. 3. Poor diet. Corn, tacos, pasta, heavy gravies on top of dry meat, stuffing, pizza, lasagna etc. No organic whatsoever. " Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food". 4. Very monetarily driven. With no warning, gave me a 3 hour window to pay them a balance that I had no idea I owed as they never said anything before this day. They had a driver come to the house to pick up a check from me. My mom is there as if they would not be paid. 5. I have pictures of fecal remnants and urine on my mom's toilet seat and in the bowl. It was not cleaned or flushed and I had to clean it up when I got there. 6. I would find my mom in clothes that were not hers and her sheets and special adaptive clothing missing. Never reimbursed. They tell you they do individual laundry but why then was my mom in others' clothes and her sheets missing and having to use sheets from other residents? 7. I came in to find that my mother had no access to water and the tray was pushed up against her closet door. She was VERY dehydrated when I got there. This is NEVER acceptable. 8. Common excuse given to me by staff was they are understaffed. 9. I told them from the beginning that my mom gets cold easily and the A/C in the room can never be below 79 degrees. I even taped a note on the A/C. I came in and found my mom shaking saying she was so cold. It has been set to 76 degrees. 10. I was told my mom would be checked frequently but when I visited, I would be there 4-6 hours at a time and not one staff member came in to check on her during that time. I can only imagine what happened when I left but not having cameras in the room for safety, how would I know? There is more as well. Please, I beg you, be careful.
Please think twice before sending your loved one here. Please check other facilities. Not everything is at it seems and looks can be deceiving. 1. I came in to find that my mother had no access to water and the tray was pushed up against her closet door. She was very dehydrated when I got there. Water deprivation is never acceptable. If someone had been checking on her regularly as I was told, this would have been caught and her tray placed in the right area. 2. Poor diet.

The staff is friendly. However, the room she moved into had a broken fan in the bathroom before she moved in. We were told it would be fixed shortly, but it's been over a year and it still hasn't been fixed. So it is mostly damp in her room because of this.
Please be VERY wary of this community; all is not what it appears at all. There are no cameras at this facility; more cause for due diligence and concern. Be careful and think twice before placing your loved one here. I have pictures of fecal remnants and urine on my mom's toilet seat and in the bowl.

Never reimbursed and I did bring this to management's attention on several occasions. Poor diet offerings. I beg you, be careful.
5 for everything, I like the Highland Place. All of the staff members from the Director, to the Nurse down, and even the chef have been welcoming, accommodating and friendly It's very family oriented there.
Our family had an in person tour with Highland Place and overall we thought the tour experience was excellent as well as everything we saw within the community.
The gal who was giving us the tour was great. The facility was smaller and older. The rooms were very small too. I was looking for something bigger for my loved one.
