Longevity of Winter Haven Senior Living Community\u2019s Team Is Higher Than Average<\/b><\/h2>

Our team at Lake Howard Heights<\/a> has many years of combined experience; each member tends to stay with us for a very long time.<\/p>

Why does Lake Howard Heights retain such dedicated senior living experts?<\/b><\/h3>

In senior living, and just like many other industries, staying at a job for a long period of time for employees and management can be rare. At our Winter Haven independent<\/a> and assisted living<\/a> community, however, we maintain a calm, welcoming environment where leaders, associates, and residents can enjoy each others\u2019 company.<\/p>

How many years does a typical team member spend at Lake Howard Heights?<\/b><\/h3>

Lake Howard Heights\u2019 on-site leadership team has a collective 74-and-a-half years’ experience in senior living and an average of 42 years at Lake Howard Heights altogether.<\/p>

Our associates’ longevity is impressive and higher than average as well, with positions such as care staff, housekeeping, dining, and maintenance. 75% of the associates have worked over five years at the community with seven at the 15 \u2013 20 year mark.<\/p>

In the resident care department specifically, of the 47 line staff, four have been with Lake Howard Heights for 20+ years, three for 15 \u2013 20 years, five for 10 \u2013 15 years, and the rest 2 \u2013 5 years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

What does our Executive Director have to say about her teammates\u2019 passion for senior living?<\/b><\/h3>

“We just don’t have turnover,” said Glenda Hanley, Executive Director, who runs the day-to-day operations of the community. “With this many years invested, it is definitely more than just coming to work every day \u2013 the residents are a part of the lives of this team and are truly extended family.”<\/p>

“When you have put this much time in, you feel a true part of the entire operation and the successes or failures so it is a true combined and concentrated effort to make this community the best it can be – not just for being the best place to work but most importantly to make it the best community possible for the lives of our residents,” she added.<\/p>

The longevity of a team like Lake Howard Heights provides much-needed reassurance for those looking into senior housing in the Winter Haven area.<\/p>
