My first impression was it smelled good and appeared clean. Staff and other employee were kind to residents patients, are clean, smell good and their rooms and beds are clean. It's memory care so things go missing, but that is small compared to knowing the one you left there is well cared for and shown kindness ways. They cared.

I am always impressed with the care the staff has for all the residents. The facility is always so clean inside and the grounds outside. Both management and staff are professional and genuine with the care provided. My uncle is happy has made new friends and looks forward to the mails and activities.

I've been at HS for 3 1/2 years. As a resident dealing with various handicaps, help is needed inside and outside HS. HS staff is friendly and ready to help me. I'm a satisfied resident.

We needed a caring place for our mother. She has Alzheimer's and needed a safe and caring environment. We found that at Harbison Shores Memory Care. Every member of the staff is supportive, loving and available.

The staff Harbison Shores is very attentive to this client needs. They are very friendly and they get to know the client needs and their individual personalities. We have lived after places and the care was not good at all. The staff here gets above and beyond their call of duty.

My mother and her cat moved to Harbison Shores about a month in a half ago. Mother made the decision to move to assisted living herself, and we were very blessed that Care Patrol helped us find Harbison Shores shortly after she made the decision. Mother keeps telling us how content she is to be Harbison Shores and how safe she feels, and the car has settled in nicely as well. The staff and leadership team have all been lovely to work with. We have very much appreciated how responsive they all are to our requests and emails, and how kind they are to the residents. The wooded setting and outdoor areas are calming and beautiful, and Mother's apartment is perfect. Having Mother at Harbison Shores has lifted many anxieties from all our shoulders!

Staff are very helpful and available when needed. I do think they could improve on the activities by gearing it more towards the individual. I would recommend Harbison Shores to others.

All assisted living places have issues with employee turn over but Harbison Shores handles it very well. The facility is well maintained and run very well. My parent says the staff treat him very well and he feels like they care for him and he feels very secure here.

A Place for Mom has scored Harbison Shores 9.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.
We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.
Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
