Harbor Terrace Senior Living

CN123

I've only been in Harbor Terrace Senior Living for a couple of months now. I'm in assisted living and there are some shortcomings. The food is the only thing in the institution that I'd rate as 5. I'm getting three meals a day. I go to the dining room and the food is good. There's a good variety and you have a lot of choices. As far as housekeeping, it's poor. I've been here two months and my apartment has been vacuumed maybe once, and that's about it. The bathrooms are clean. I think they've been cleaned maybe once every week or two. Laundry is done on demand. The laundry is labeled, but I quite often lose things in the laundry. I never get them back. The staff is good. They try hard, but sometimes they're overworked with other residents, which can happen in a facility like this. When I need help, I have to wait an extremely long time. There's no call for emergencies. There's a call light in the bathroom or by the bed for an emergency for a fall. Otherwise, if I were to fall in the building or anywhere, there's no call for emergency. I could lay there for a while before somebody found me. I am in a one-room apartment. There's no kitchen, just a microwave. There's a bathroom, a large bedroom, and a seating area in the bedroom. The amenities and activities are good. It is new. Everything is brand new. The rent is a lot higher than independent living, which is understandable, but for what I'm getting for the extra money as far as assisted living, it's just barely making it. I don't think it's worth it. I'm not getting that much assisted living for the extra cost. We're established on a lake, so it's a very nice outdoor view and you can go out and ride large boats because we're right on the Great Lakes right near Lake Michigan. They have their own dock and they'll have fishing if you're interested. There's a lot to do and they do transportation for you to participate. They'll have a bus trip just around the lake or just to enjoy the outdoors.
