HarborChase of Vero Beach

My father in law left this facility in 2011. Pluses: Absolutely beautiful facility. The caregivers and staff were wonderful, always helpful, and went above and beyond. You could tell they really cared about the residents. Minus: Top Administrator and assistant left a lot to be desired. When we had family there, the Administrator was at first all smiles and pleasantries. Soon afterwards rude, augmentative, and condescending to us whenever we needed her. Good for you, I hear she is gone now! Facility seemed to be short staffed. The workers were all great but seemed always rushed.

Compared to the previous assisted living establishment my grandmother lived at, the one at Harbor Chase was amazing. Most of the time the care facilities have a strong smell of disinfectant that one usually associates with hospitals or clinics, but not here. I feel that the smell of a place can make you feel comfortable and at home, but if the smell or atmosphere of the facility puts you on edge, like the hospital smell does for me, then the individual may not feel comfortable in their own home. One of the nicest additions that Harbor Chase has is the small library in the main facility. It is very nice to be able to freely borrow books, and is a good program to encourage members to interact at the book club meetings that they have their. The food, while expensive for guests, is very good and my grandmother comments on the variety that they have. Overall, a very nice place.
