Harbison Shores

We virtually toured this community. The staff was very friendly and shared a lot of great information. They followed up with us also. We were not able to do a regular tour due to covid.

Not a good place

I have had nothing short of great experiences with the new Harbison Shores, under new properties of Tarantino. The staff was delightful and most helpful. I certainly have a high opinion of this community.

I had to choose a 1 star but there really should be a zero star to choose from. Horrible wretched place!! $$$$$$ root of all evil. If you truly want what is best for your loved one, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE!!!! Don't be fooled like my ignorant sister was . You can put lipstick on a pig but it's still a pig.

Since the search was for dad I let him have a lot of the input as to where he wanted to go. This community was nice we liked it a lot. The community appeared clean and well maintained. The staff was very nice and friendly very professional. The community just didn't give us the feeling that others had given us.

The staff have been helpful and they encourage dad to participate in some of the daily activities. The food is good and they offer healthy options. The residents have been very welcoming. The community is nice inside and out. I would recommend this community.

My tour of this community went well. The community was in the process of being remolded. From what I saw the community could use some updating. The staff I met was friendly, and answered all my questions. Everyone was very kind to my family, and I. I did find another community that suited our need better.

My Mother really likes it there. She loves the staff.

I have recently fall and broke my leg, but once I get better I will be returning to Caroline Gardens. This is a lovely community, I do enjoy living here. The staff is very kind and helpful. They do a good job with the cleanliness, the grounds and community is well maintained. There are activities for me when I get back. The food could use some improvements, it is a little dry. Overall everything is well and I would recommend it.

The new Carolina Gardens team is wonderful. I love this place now that Agape is gone. New management and ownership is great and a totally new family atmosphere.

I have not personally been to this facility but have heard horror stories from family members of residents at Agape'. Please consider other options before admitting your loved one to this facility. If you do decide to choose them, be prepared to pay significantly more than what you are initially told. They have some type of "care points" system that will result in substantial fees and the bill will be a total surprise to you and/or your loved one. Also, make sure to keep an eye on what medication is being given to your relative and ask questions. Keep in mind that side effects of many different medications can be worse in the elderly; for example, a medication that causes dizziness may result in a FALL if the elderly person is not supervised properly. Also, keep in mind that they are FOR PROFIT and that their bottom line is that dollar; not the people. They are paid to show sympathy and kindness in order to SELL a product to potential residents and their families. Once they've hooked you in, they will do or say whatever is necessary to keep your loved one there and charge whatever they want without seeking prior approval.
