Harmony at Southridge

I would describe Harmony at Southridge as an excellent facility. I have more than one friend at that facility. It's a new facility, well-staffed, with good programs. They have game night, they take them places, and they have Bible studies for them. They have good meals, and all residents also can cook in their rooms. So it's overall very good. They have an outside area for grilling out and a small library. The staff members are caring and competent. All the facilities were sort of some sticker shock. They're quite expensive, but comparatively, I would say Harmony at Southridge is a good value.

Harmony at Southridge is a new place. It's wonderful and beautiful. It's independent living, but they also have a memory care center and assisted living, so if my mother needs more care, it's available to her. The facility itself is just stunning. They just had exactly what she needed in terms of space, activities, and physical therapy. They have a salon, so she can have a place to go get her nails and hair done. She just really felt comfortable during our visit. It's nice, open, and they did a lovely job designing and decorating the space. She felt really at home. We went there three separate times to look at the apartments, and the woman who was in charge of that was just fantastic. They have two-bedroom, one-bedroom, and studio sizes, and she selected the two-bedroom, so she can have stay-in guests in her office. The designs are lovely. Every apartment has a balcony, some are closed, some are open, but they all have lovely views of the woods. The one-bedrooms have a cathedral feeling. You just feel like there's a lot of space. They got a neutral palette, and it's completely handicap-accessible in all apartments. They have a huge dining area that is open, airy, and comes with meal plans. She will get one meal a day or she can do more than that. She can go down and eat if she'd like, or they'll bring it up to her if she's not feeling well. They also have a bar that has pub food, and where they do holiday celebrations. They have an activity hall where they do all kinds of things, like the Easter eggs they had last week. They do crafts every week, they have a small movie theater, and a huge game room that has any kind of game you'd want to play. They sometimes have game nights too. They have a little area where people can come in and entertain the residents. They do that every month, and they give out this activity sheet, so there is something to do every single day.
