Harmony at Kent in Dover, DE
4.9

We relocated my mother-in-law from Florida and quickly realized that her memory issues were more than just age related. From start to move in, Harmony at Kent helped ease our minds knowing that she would be safe and cared for. She is very happy with her apartment and enjoys the food and religious service's. She is socializing with other residents and uses the gym and library at her leisure. Harmony is managing her medication which had been a major issue when living independently. We are thankful that we have such an amazing facility so close by.
