Key Review Excerpts

Highland Park is just a special place. The facility itself is beautiful from the woodwork to the furniture to the paintings, etc. The atmosphere is bright and the way it is laid out is literally resort-like.

Family member · 2019★★★★★

My mom has been at highland for the past 3 years. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the living facility and the staff. Since I do not live in the area, I have complete confidence that my mom is well cared for on a daily basis.

Long-term resident's family · 2021★★★★★

The place itself is beautiful. The bosses and worker are not. There were alot of health violations to the client's there. Two clients was given the wrong dose of medication and could have died.
