Colonial Harbor

My sister lives at Colonial Harbor. It’s awful and doesn’t give her the benefits she is paying for. 1. Pays for own Wi-Fi since what’s offered is not strong enough to get to her apartment. 2. Food used to be good. Now it’s awful. Baked potatoes and cottage cheese is worth the price that is charged in rent. 3. No transportation. Been in repair shop most of this year. 4. Can’t find a activities director that will stay. No weekly activity sheet. Has a nice tv room but no one uses it. 5. Very small budget for activities. 6. Apartment was not properly refurbished before move in. Even the toilet paper holder is not level. I could go on but I’ll run out of space

Colonial Harbor is now home for my elderly father and he loves it! The atmosphere is alway cheerful with friendly staff and residents. His desire to be in a community of family and friends has been accomplished and he is thriving in that environment. We, the family, know that we made the right decision when moving him closer to us from his longtime home 300 miles away. What a relief to know that he is in the perfect independent senior living facility. He is in a lovely one bedroom apartment with access to a variety of activities, three delicious meals a day, weekly housekeeping, and an amazing, caring staff!

The experience is excellent. We picked this community because of the convenience and cost.

I asked my mother-in-law and she stated that she liked the environment. She liked socializing with the other residents. The food definitely needs to be improved the activities were fine.

What our family likes the most about Colonial Harbor is the security and the overall friendliness. We would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

My mom was a resident at Colonial Harbor until she passed recently. Colonial Harbor was a Godsend, the team is phenomenal, and I'm so glad that my mom was there because she was cared about and cared for by wonderful people.

After my mother had been at Colonial Harbor just short of a year (11 months), she was notified that her rent was being increased by over $1,000 a month. This means we will likely have to be moving her somewhere, and I have no idea where, by the end of this year. I am trying to find out more information on a grant program that may be available to her but there is a fine line between Assisted Living and Independent Living as far as the grant is concerned. People should be advised to check how often rent increases happen and by what percentage - I was blindsided.

5 all the way for Colonial Harbor community. Everything from start to finish has made it a great experience...amazing people! Quick and extremely helpful in every way. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to others who may need a place for their loved one.

It as close and cost lower than others, and I needed help moving so my options just worked out that way. After renting 1 room for 5 years this is great to live here. I would recommend to others.

[name removed] handled the conversations with my mother-in-law and me very well. He could tell I was sincerely motivated to help her and she could see the benefits of coming to live at Colonial Harbor. She was a bit obstinate about moving, but we were able to let her become familiar with the apartment. At lunch I was impressed that so many residents were smiling and many made an effort to come by and say hello and encourage her to join the community. She has been pretty isolated the last three years with the pandemic, so joining an existing community that is both safe and welcoming will be really good for her. My compliments to the team and community and I am looking forward to [name removed] having a better life the next few years.

I would recommend it. They have been very helpful with her needs. During covid, they delivered meals to their rooms. They are really clean and safe.

We chose Colonial Harbor because of the value for the money. It was significantly cheaper than the other Colonial Harbors in different areas. The staff members are all very friendly and also understanding. I would recommend the facility to other families who are looking.

It is a great place to be. There is not a nurse or medical staff on hand. This is a great value for what you pay in the area. There was an issue with water bugs that I addressed with the administration and they tried to fix it for my loved ones quickly. The food I have tasted was good. Karaoke, bingo, poker, horse derby, singing, team building activities, and more are available for the residents to choose from.

The meal service was available all the time, and it was always delivered in a timely fashion so that would be a five out of five. However, our loved ones who are there say the quality of the food was not all that great, it was not appetizing or palatable. Under the circumstances the activities were limited, but they still tried to do as much as they could while social distancing. It is expensive, but when your in a retirement community where everything is all inclusive, the value is worth it.

Initially at first it was not that bad, but once covid hit the food quality was terrible and it just got worse and worse.

The Staff and my neighbors here are wonderful. I have a volunteer job working at our community store while I feel very needed. I have lived here over 4 years and it's my home !

Very nice Facility Staff very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend!

This community has been an ideal place for my wife and me, as it provided a community with people around. After she passed I was not left alone. I had place a live with activity. I also find myself meeting a number of others and having relaxed time with them.
