What this means for your family
The Cortland Howell is visually impressive and often praised for its dining and welcoming atmosphere, making it a pleasant environment for tours. However, families should be aware of significant reports regarding high staff turnover and inconsistent staffing levels. We strongly recommend asking for current staff-to-resident ratios and requesting to speak with a long-term family member before making a commitment.

37 reviews on Google“The Cortland Howell presents a stark contrast between positive initial impressions and significant operational concerns reported by long-term families. While many visitors praise the clean, well-maintained building and friendly staff, multiple families report chronic understaffing and high turnover in management and nursing roles. Prospective families should look past the aesthetic appeal and investigate current staffing ratios and administrative stability.”

Key Review Excerpts
“Many times there are only 2 caregivers in the building with 30 residents! Many times there is only one med tech to pass meds to the entire building!”
“In the three years we were there, there was 12 different managers. 13 different health and wellness coordinators. Three different nurses. I can’t even count how many aids/med tech. Well over 50 in the three years we were there.”
“It is well maintained, and kept clean. But do not let the appearance fool you, or their promises when touring the facility for new care. It is NOT a state licensed facility, meaning they do not have to comply with state guidelines.”
