I was not too happy with Harvard Park because the rooms were very small, they smelled, and the food didn't smell good. The staff seemed very nice. They're independent living, that's also why I didn't care for that one. I think their carpeting needed to be cleaned better and they needed to get rid of the smells that were in there.

I like Harvard Park's facilities. They have the same amenities as other places. They have a dining area, a recreational room, and they have walking paths. They have no activities because of COVID. It was very clean.

Harvard Park was fine, and the staff was kind, but it didn't check all the boxes of what my mother-in-law needed. The apartments didn't have in-room laundry facilities, and it didn't have the amenities that the other places had. The kitchen was very tiny, and it didn't have a full size refrigerator. The layout was fine, but it's an older facility, and it showed its age. It was in a nice location in Spokane.

My mother moved in to Harvard Park, and I think it's very nice. She's still adjusting because she has never been in anything like this, plus adjusting to losing my dad after many years of marriage. She's adjusting well and it's a nice place. They have a bus to take the residents out usually on a Thursday or Tuesday if they want to go shopping locally within a few mile radius. He also takes people to church on Sundays. They also have activities within the community. Their food lacks something to be desired. But it's because it's an institution with a large amount of people, although they're trying to make the food appealing. The gals that work there are excellent, I'm really happy with the staff there specially the young gals they've been excellent. They're always pleasant and try to be accommodating, although the residents are older and picky. The facilities are very clean, although it's a little bit older than some of the other places we've looked at.

My husband moved into Harvard Park. It's pretty nice, the staff seems to be doing quite a good job, and the food is pretty good. They have a list of activities people can participate in, and I think it's great. They have Bingo, outings, and they have a bus that takes people to the VA hospital, church, and to different restaurants. They have games, exercise programs, and some crafts.

I love Harvard Park. It was older, not as flashy, and I felt more comfortable there. The people were nice. The manager who gave me the tour was professional, answered all my questions, and called me three times after. I went again to listen to two women play the violin. They had three meals a day. I ate lunch, and the food was really good. They had two lunch menus: the regular menu and a physically fit menu. They had a big game room and a nice entertainment center with TV. They had a weekly maid service, and washer and dryer available. The one-bedroom was the size I was looking for, and it had a built-in shower with a seat.

Harvard Park was a nice, newer place, and the location was good, but it would be frustrating to go up and down those hills. Everything was good; the apartments and rooms were nice, and had ample room to fit a queen-sized bed, a TV in the living room, and a couple of chairs. It had a nice setting, and there were a lot of activities. However, there wasn't much exercising, which was kind of a downfall. I was also worried about the wintertime when the roads get bad while going up and down the south hill.

Harvard Park is a lovely place. The people are very friendly. Both the staff and the residents are very welcoming, and they really help us feel at home. We have decided that this place is fine as soon as we're ready to move into a senior community. We've eaten dinner there a couple of times, and the food is very good. This place seems adequate for our needs.

I wouldn’t go at Harvard Park. The colors and stuff were very old. But the people were very nice. The guy that did the interview and the tour was very knowledgeable and very nice. I don’t have any problem with the staff it’s just the building itself just felt very old and tired. The rooms were very small and there were no washer or dryer in the unit.

We visited Harvard Park. We liked basically everything about it from the way it was set up to the information that they gave us to the people that we talked to.

The owner manager at Harvard Park took me into a private room and kept me sitting there while he was doing all sorts of interviewing type of questions. He gave me no brochures, no materials whatsoever, with no follow-up, and I felt unwelcomed. The apartments that I saw had a microwave and a small refrigerator, but no hot plate or stove. The meals were served at an exact time. They serve breakfast at 8:30, and if you get there at 8:45, you miss breakfast. It was definitely not user friendly. My friend who lived there did not like it either. However, they were pretty good on activities, and they do have the bus that will take you places.

Hi Jon, I'm Katie, I work at Holiday Retirement Home Office. First, let me sincerely apologize that you were treated that way. We never want our visitors to feel unwelcome, so I agree that behavior is unacceptable. I passed your feedback to our Resident Relations department for their investigation. Thanks again for bringing his to our attention, Katie

We wanted to be at Harvard Park. The rooms were very nice, spacious, and nice size living area for two people. The staff was wonderful, very caring, and thoughtful. They remembered us. We had been out there several times to check other things out, and they had been very helpful. We had dinner there several times. They had a concert where a woman came in, played the piano, and sang. The food was excellent.

Harvard Park was really nice. The people were friendly. They did not have the assisted living that we could go to from independent living, but other than that, we really liked them. We have thought about going there before we found the place our mother is in now. It did not feel as friendly, but it was still a really great place.

We visited because we had a friend who's staying there. They had a family reunion that Harvard Park set up. We thought that was real nice and very considerate of Harvard Park. It looked like a warm and comfortable place to be. It looked pretty good and one that would take care of our needs. It was clean and seemed like it had a lot to offer as far as things to do. The people that we met there were very helpful and in fact they follow up and keep in touch with us. We had a great visiting experience.

My husband found his friend a place at Harvard Park. He could have his two black Labs there on the main floor and they had a back door so he could take them out to walk them. His friend had been there a month now and I've had dinner with him every now and then. It's a wonderful place for him and it's working out beautifully. There are about 80 apartments there. They have housekeeping staff that comes in once a week, changes the bed, towels, and does the vacuuming. He can pay extra should he need assisted living; a group can come in everyday and take care of him. It's nice, clean and everybody is friendly and pleasant. My husband said he doesn't mind living there.
