I visited this facility

We liked the assisted living facility of Brookdale Harbison. The rooms were reasonable and of a good size. The place was also well organized. The only bad thing was that they only have one meal per day, which is included in the price. That's the downside of it. I guess you would either have to pay for an additional meal or make your own. Other than that, the sales representative was very likable. The place looked clean and had a good setup.

Brookdale Harbison gets a 5 in each and every category! My mother in law loves it there, and her opinion is the only one that really matters. We have had no issues.
