Based off of our experience here so far, I think areas for improvement at Harbison Shores would be the food and communication. But communication is not a choice.

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.

Tour Review

Our family had an in person tour and from the moment we stepped in we just did not care for it, the lady who gave the tour we did not care for - she didn't really seem to know anyone or want to interact with anyone. It had an older feel to is, and we just did not like the look of it.

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

Our experience

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.

My Mom has been at Harbison Shores for a while now and we're so impressed with the staff and the way they care for her. Whenever we need anything, they always seem to give it immediate attention. I have and will continue to recommend Harbison Shores to other families.

Friends are made here

This facility is second to none in the way they treat their residents. They have so many fun activities and the "home" is decorated for each occasion to make residents feel at home and special. The sales director makes each family feel at ease and more confident that they will be happy if they choose to put a loved one here.

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.
