The Gables of Palm Harbor

My sisterinlaw is there and we are very happy with the community. Their aim is to help the clients resume a normal life and they are doing very well. Everyone is friendly, although I find that perhaps more attention could be paid to the food. Not as tasty as other places.

Great location, nice having my parents so close to our home. Every one at Harbor Chase has been exceptional nice, helpful, and friendly. Laurie has been a real peach and if I have a questions, she's always there to help.

They are wonderful. The level of care is wonderful. I love the staff and the building is clean and well taken care of. The dining area is great and the residents really seem to enjoy the staff and the activities. Great place.

I think overall, everybody that works here is very, very friendly. The know all know you by name. I was very disappointed in the food and the dining room though. The food is improving, but people come in to this beautiful dining room, and there are just wheelchairs everywhere and it makes it hard to move around. I also expected a little more activities.

I am very happy with the cleanliness and the helpfulness of the staff at Harbor Chase. If my mother is happy, then I am happy. A long story, but we have been a part of and seen several facilities and this facility is like staying in a luxury hotel! But, like all places, with the good there is always some not so good. I am a little disappointed in the medical facilities. I understood that there was more care when someone was sick. I don't feel confident in the staff noticing someone who is under the weather or in need of additional care. Also, we still have to take my mother to the Doctor and that was part of the responsibilities I understood we would get help with. They can take her, but she is left there alone. I understand it, but if your parent is not capable of answering all the questions properly or remembering the responses, you must still take them. That was not made clear. The dining area is beautiful, but the food seems to be the biggest disappointment to most of the residents. I am told by Harbor Chase that they are trying to figure out a solution to this. In the meantime, a group of residents are trying to get a group voice to show more power in their grievance, but the food maintains to be what I am told... is a dull flavor and often over done status. The staff there seems to be quite willing to work on problems and make people happy. It is always a pleasure to see the young man at the front desk. He is attentive, kind and sharp. That alone is much more than you see most anywhere else! They don't even notice if someone is leaving no matter a resident or not. All in all, we feel blessed to be at Harbor Chase.

I have been very impressed with my choice to have my husband live at Harbor Chase. He seems very happy and enjoys his daily ice cream treat in the ice cream parlor. The grounds lend to a pleasant daily walk with a serene environment. The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. There are plenty of activities if one cares to join in. I also like the idea of progressive care, if needed. I would have no problem recommending Harbor Chase.

The HarborChase of Palm Harbor is a nice community. Everyone was very nice. The staff and residents were friendly. Everything has been going pretty good. My loved one lives here and enjoys it. 4 stars.

I'm very pleased with it. I liked the fact that it didn't smell like urine. Some of the other places smelled like urine. I saw that some of the residents had cars and could go places and that the residents were active instead of just sitting around in a vegetative state. I liked the grounds and the walking paths there. The dining room is setup like a restaurant. The staff was friendly there.

We toured this community when we were looking into care options for our loved one. This was a nice looking facility. It was clean and well kept, although not very warm or homey feeling. The staff we spoke with all seemed friendly and professional. We ended up selecting another facility, but this is one we were definitely considering.

Moved my mother into Harbor Chase 1 month ago. She is thrilled by their care, & attentiveness as well as enjoying the other wonderful residents who live there. No place can ever be perfect but the managers and entire staff make every effort to accommodate my Mom to help her settle in. She had been living in an independent ALF in Naples but due to progressing Altzheimers and physical de-conditioning was unsafe to live alone and felt lonely. She now feels secure, receives her medications, reminded when to eat and enjoys the multiple social activities they offer. They provide medical services to choose from, PT/OT, plus much more. The facility is clean, bright and attractive. The outside grounds are breathtaking. My Mom says she feels like she is on vacation! The food is age appropriate and tasty, they have an ice cream parlor, in home theatre, beauty salon, as well as outside entertainment. The atmosphere feels warm and you will find the staff positively interacting with the residents. And on top of everything else....my Mom has her dog with her, who is also enjoying her new home!

It's clean and the staff is very friendly. I just am not sure how I feel about the care. My loved one fell twice, and we weren't there for very long when it happened. I'm not sure if it could have been prevented or not, but I am just not sure what to think. Maybe if your loved one is steady and just needs meals and medication management it would be fine, but I just don't know about more than that.

They’re very willing to work with you. My loved one can be a bit difficult and they were very helpful in getting her concerns resolved. The parking has always been sufficient. I haven’t really had a chance to try the food so I can’t speak to that.

They have would take a five in activities, even if my loved one doesn’t do a lot of them – the do have a lot of activities available. They are very well managed and they do a very good job. They’re so much better than where we had out loved one before.

They’re outstanding. Just all the way across the board, they’re just outstanding. They’re very clean and the people there are very nice. We’ve never had trouble finding parking. All I can say is that it’s an outstanding community.

The facility is spotless and classy, with caring, concerned staff members. Some of the activities entice even those who tend to be loners. The Nurse on site 24/7 has been the most impressive feature here, and the most beneficial. My mom has fallen several times without having the paramedics called in. If there are questions about meds etc. a nurse calls the Dr. And takes care of it. Peace of mind for me! The food is a 3 of 5, adequate but not great. There are occasional glitches in care such as shower times, but they get worked out. It is not one on one care, but all my mom's needs have been met. Even incontinence is handled with compassion. I feel good about my mom's new home.
