Spring Harbor

Spring Harbor was really nice but too expensive. It was like a little city with a bank and a little bit of everything. The place was beautiful, immaculate, and really nice. They had a rehab but only for their own residents. The dining room looked like a nice restaurant. The residents were all dressed and looked nice.

You can have an apartment at Spring Harbor. It has one bedroom and a kitchen. It's beautifully appointed, with great carpeting. They all have microwaves and steel refrigerators. The residents get to know each other. They play bridge, they have a movie theater, and they have art classes. I'd probably join that and I'd probably swim in the pool. They have exercises every day. They go out on trips to the symphony, and then when you're incapacitated, you move over to a different area of this place. When it first opened the food was very good, now, the food is just good. They have a new chef. All my friends are there. It's the most exclusive neighborhood. It takes you 5 minutes to get to a Starbucks. They have nurses and doctors on call. It's one of the top ones.

Upon arrival Spring Harbor appeared to be more of a resort than a assisted living facility. I was impressed as soon as i entered the gate with beautiful landscaping and grounds keeping. Some of the units are bigger and nicer than other units but all of high quality. The staff is super friendly without any sort of retirement home or hospital feel. The first thoughts of taking my grandmother to an assisted living facility were reserved but after my first visit all doubts were set free. All in all, spring harbor is not a bad place to be and i would consider living there if i live long enough!

This facility is very pleasant. I wouldnt take my aunt here though, because they only accept Medicare. Many people come there with other insurances and to not accept other insurances, poses a problem because nursing homes are so expensive. Thats probably why its only 40% occupied. I recommend it if you have Medicare.
