Harbison Shores

My friend likes Harbison Shores. She is leaning towards this place. I like that the staff were very friendly. I was really impressed with the size of the rooms and the friendliness of the people. It was just a really good fit for my friend. They supply appliances in the apartments. It's like a mini kitchen. They have a regular-sized refrigerator, but you supply your own microwave. They supply all three meals, which is a plus. Plus, cable and internet are provided with the amount that you pay. Another plus is the little security pendant in case you fall which also is included. The person who took me around was Amy, and she was wonderful. She was very sweet and took her time. We knew she had another appointment very shortly after us and there were people moving in, but she still took her time with us. She was very good at answering any questions, and she didn't rush us or make us feel like she had another appointment coming up. I appreciated that, too. We got to see the food and it looked good.

We are choosing Harbison Shores for my mother. I was very impressed with the community itself. It's smaller, and I didn't want to put her somewhere that was too big. The staff was amazing, and everybody we talked to. She will be in a beautiful apartment and it has all new flooring. It is very well taken care of. It has a kitchenette, a living room, a nice bedroom, a big walk-in closet, and a nice bathroom. We saw the dining room and it looked very good. They had a theater area where they could go and watch TV with each other. They also had outside garden areas.

My dad has moved into Harbison Shores. It is like a home away from home. He is well adapted. He is in the memory care unit. The staff is wonderful, professional, and caring. They have daily arts and crafts, there is a lady who comes in and plays the piano, and they have sing-alongs and interactive activities. They have separate rooms for showering and bathing, and the patients' rooms just have toilets and sinks. With my dad's current condition, we were afraid that if he just got in the shower by himself, he might fall or injure himself, so I went with them because they have separate shower areas that they call "spas," and also because they have nursing assistance. Those were the only reasons for going that way.

My brother is at Harbison Shores. The first night wasn't good, I heard he paced all night in the room but the second day seemed a bit better. My family has been starting to visit him to provide some continuity and some constant in the middle of all the changes. I'm still working on something about contacting him but they don't think a landline in his room was a good idea. So now I just call the facility and they would go and get him. It's alright but it seems like he's having a conversation with someone standing right there listening. It's fine though, at least I'm able to reach him. The facility so far has been good. No issues there.
