Key Review Excerpts

The staff at Courtyard Manor in Howell were so loving and attentive toward my dad during his final months. He felt safe and loved and was happy and content, even with end-stage dementia.

Memory care family member · 2022★★★★★

The building houses 20 residents and their staff to resident ratio was the best we've seen. Everything was always clean, food was good, and the residents were well loved.

Courtyard Manor of Howell is truly unique with the quality of care. I'm so thankful we moved our mom there. All the other places don't compare if your loved one needs assistance 24/7.
