  • My review of Highlands on the East Side

    We think that they are very caring, but it has been hard at times to really assess things with all of the covid restrictions, and some still being in place. We still cannot freely come and go to see our loved one. Only recently have we been able to see his room. The community does strike us as a no frills place, it is kind of older. It does not impress you with the building or its surroundings. However that is not what is important to us, what is important to us is that they care for him and respond to us which is exactly what they do.

  • A very caring place

    We came up with a list that seemed to be a fit for my mother, then she went and visited them all and there was just something about Highlands on the East Side. She liked the size of the community, it wasn't overwhelming, she liked the apartments, and she instantly felt connected to the people here and very welcomed. The apartments were way bigger than expected, very large and spacious with a huge storage closet. I have eaten there and my mom loved it, it was very tasty. They were accommodating and had a large variety for residents to choose from. They served restaurant style. My favorite part about the community has been the staff members, they took their time with each person and were very caring. I would highly recommend. I couldn't have asked for anything better.
