Our tour was very thorough. We had a chance to talk with staff and some residents. We were shown vacant, as well as occupied, studios and apartments which was very helpful in visualizing what it might be like to live in the space. We were shown the common areas, i.e. dining room, multi-use spaces, laundry facilities, medication storage, etc.. We were especially impressed with the overall condition and cleanliness of the facility.

Highly recommend

5 on all. They have been fantastic! My husband is there once a week so he has a pulse on things. My mother-in-law is very happy there! The place has been recently refreshed and is well cared for. I tried the food myself and thought it was good. Lots of activities and a wide variety. My mother-in-law has a single studio and it's the perfect size. It has a small kitchenette with a sink and fridge, a walk-in closet, large bathroom with a walk in shower that has a seat, and a small balcony. Staff are all friendly and …

Caring staff!

Extremely pleased at the polite faces of the staff, the kindness, the professionalism (and humour), the peacefulness, the food and the Physical Therapist [name removed]. We have maintained our Prisma physician for medical care. Delighted we found Harbison Shores over all the ones we researched.

My husband and I visited several places, wasn’t sure what we to find! All seemed like nice, but my mom definitely cannot live alone but she needs to feel more independent. She is 91, memory care is probably is a short time anyway but I feel if I put her she would fall way faster! She loves people and feeling excitement !!Brookdale Shores had a happy vibe with the care we needed and they have ! My mother ‘s favorite thing to say about pictures of the residents in the other facilities “Everybody is so old there, now …

Harbison Shores

We are very happy there. Only one person has not been friendly, the facility is always clean and they take very good care of the patients. I think all Assisted Living costs too much, but they are good value as far as Assisted Living. We definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good place. The rooms are the largest, cleanest and nicest of any place I looked at and I looked at a lot
