We moved my mom over to Harbison Shoes about 5 months ago. She is so much better. She talks to me and loves the staff. They are great at keeping me informed about her. Best place mom has been since having to be in a facility.

Caution
There was a fire. We were there. We helped evacuate the residents. It was cold, but they had to wait outside. Staff found tablecloths to cover some of the residents. They were given cold cans of sprite. When the families were informed of the fire, they were told the residents were given warm blankets and coffee. This did not happen.

The staff is nice and friendly. They keep you up to date on what's going on with your loved one. Only one suggestion, perhaps hire more housekeepers. Other than that, everything is good.

My mom and dad recently moved to assisted living at Harbison Shores. My family and I are very grateful for all the staff has done to make tis a smooth transition. Everyone has been extremely helpful. Based on our observations so far, we feel they are being well cared for and this is the right place for them.

Our loved one is settling in, making friends, and happy overall.
Everything seems to be going better as time goes on. My family member was a little lost at first, but now she has friends to fill her day and is more involved with the good activities they have. She knows she is home now. And our family is happy with the facility.

My mother was seriously ill in [date removed]and was hospitalized for three weeks with a two weeks of rehab. Harbison Shores evaluated Mom at rehab and determined she could move back. Harbison Shores was very good about informing me about my options and what they could do to help Mom. She then went to rehab and was able to return and is doing well.

A nice community
The weekday staff have been great but we have had a couple of issues with the weekend staff - at times it does seem like this community is great for those who have more independent living rather then assisted living because we have also had a few issues with the extra care levels. However our loved one absolutely loves her room - the square footage is great as well as the layout, it is better then a lot of other places we had checked out

The staff is very nice, they have been very cooperative with getting paperwork done. The only thing she has really complained about is the food, she said that they serve a lot of rice and she does not like rice. If it is in your budget, I would recommend the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Harbison Shores

Harbison Shores offers Studio and 1 Bedroom. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Harbison Shores 9.7 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
