HarborChase of Branford

5 on all. But everything was good, but my mom passed away and I'm having trouble getting a refund for partial rent. Other than that everything is great.

I am/was a resident of this facility

I moved into HarborChase of Branford. What I like best is the friendliness and the food. All three meals a day are excellent, and the choices are outstanding. The facility is very nicely kept. The staff is very friendly. They have movies, card games, happy hours, and bingo. It's a full value for your money.
