Upon entering this beautiful assisted living, I was immediately struck by the warm and cozy atmosphere. I would particularly like to commend Amy, Jhordan, and Brittney for their exceptional customer service and genuine care for the residents. There is a wonderful feeling of family. Furthermore, Chef Paul's culinary skills are truly noteworthy, providing a five-star dining experience with remarkably fresh and homemade food.

can’t say enough wonderful things about Cortland’s Howell Assisted Living! From the moment we walked in, we were met with genuine care, compassion, and professionalism. The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and welcoming—exactly the kind of environment you hope for when trusting someone with your loved one’s care. A special thank you to Jhordan, Brittnay, Krista, and Suli—your kindness, attentiveness, and dedication truly stand out. You each go above and beyond to make residents feel safe, respected, and loved. It’s clear that everyone on the Cortland Howell team is passionate about what they do. The entire staff is exceptional, creating a warm, family-like atmosphere that makes all the difference. Knowing my loved one is in such capable and compassionate hands gives me peace of mind every single day. Thank you all for the incredible work you do!

I toured the Cortland earlier today with a lovely lady named Cindy with over 40 years nursing experience. Although Cindy is not currently a nurse, she works their part-time. The tour was informative, the units were clean. I loved I was there as they were about ready to serve lunch. The residents appeared happy and anxiously awaiting their prepped meal. Although the administrator was indisposed on a business call, I was able to text her during my visit and she promptly replied with any and every question I had. I also candidly spoke with several employees who were attending to their duties. One in housekeeping that has been there for 3 years and was very pleasant. I anxiously await the next steps for my 99-year-old grandmother to potentially move her in when the time comes.

It has been my experience that The Cortland Howell employees are very friendly & caring starting with the receptionists at the front door, to the Maintenance Director, to the nursing staff, the administrative employees, the culinary and the Life Enrichment Director. They each have a heart for the residents. Thank you all for taking care of our loved ones!

My mother has been there for 2 months now. As a first timer having to make a tough decision at the time I had no idea what to expect. All I can say is that I am very happy with making mom a resident here. The whole staff is phenomenal. They truly care of the residents that they are assisting. Good communication, good food with a nice variety in the menu, clean facility, variety of activities daily. Kudos to Carol and her team!
