We have placed my mother-in-law into Harbison Shores. The facility is nice, and the people are good. We met with the director, and she explained how everything works. We had visited some other places before, and this one didn't require a financial background check and all. It's a you-pay-your-monthly-rent kind of situation, which would then be less of a hassle. That's probably the major thing why we chose them. The security of the building is adequate. We've been happy with their care, too. The staff is good, and the caregivers are good. The nurses took the time to listen to our concerns. We had adjusted her meds a couple of times, so I would rate them high. We have not tried the food, but we always asked her what she had to eat, and she's always said that it's good. We've heard them do some arts and crafts, and they had a little picnic.

I placed my mother in Harbison Shores and it's comforting to know she's in a place where she's cared for. It's a very nice facility with outdoor space and good food, and she is regularly taken care of in terms of bathing. They have a nice spa-like bathroom for the residents, and just very nice and caring staff. Her room is very clean, has lovely accommodations, a bright place for my mom to be in and enjoy right now. It's more like a studio because she's in memory care, so they're not like apartments. The amenities are physical therapy, they had doctors that visit regularly, they have ongoing activities, and a calendar with lots of activities. Someone comes in and plays music for the residents, and there's a lot of socialization for the residents. They have an activity room and a courtyard, and where the TV room is, they have a porch over there. But really, what distinguished them are the bathrooms. There are new walk-in tubs, great amenities in the shower, a nice seat, and a nice little chair. I went over last night to get help with the bathing because she was still having a little difficulty trusting. The facilities are quite nice, like the warm tile and that kind of thing. We had one little incident but we took care of it.

Harbison Shores had just about everything that a person would need for memory care. The facility was very nice. They had everything that other facility had, but it was a little pricey. They had a library facility, a beauty parlor, large dining areas, and a room where the residents could go and watch television. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging.

My dad has moved into Harbison Shores. It is like a home away from home. He is well adapted. He is in the memory care unit. The staff is wonderful, professional, and caring. They have daily arts and crafts, there is a lady who comes in and plays the piano, and they have sing-alongs and interactive activities.
They have separate rooms for showering and bathing, and the patients' rooms just have toilets and sinks. With my dad's current condition, we were afraid that if he just got in the shower by himself, he might fall or injure himself, so I went with them because they have separate shower areas that they call "spas," and also because they have nursing assistance. Those were the only reasons for going that way.

My brother is at Harbison Shores. The first night wasn't good, I heard he paced all night in the room but the second day seemed a bit better. My family has been starting to visit him to provide some continuity and some constant in the middle of all the changes.
I'm still working on something about contacting him but they don't think a landline in his room was a good idea. So now I just call the facility and they would go and get him. It's alright but it seems like he's having a conversation with someone standing right there listening. It's fine though, at least I'm able to reach him. The facility so far has been good. No issues there.

We were able to visit Harbison Shores in person. I was comfortable with everything the staff told me. However, the facility and the grounds were not as nice as the others I've seen, and their rooms were smaller. They had spa rooms where residents would take showers. They didn't have a shower in the suite; it only had a toilet and a sink. The spa was like a communal-type shower area, and they were set up that way for safety, so they could watch everybody, and they could safely take showers if they needed assistance. They had an activity room and a movie-theater-type area. I do not believe it was as well maintained as the others I've seen. The private suites were a little small, and the bathrooms only had the sink and the toilet. The courtyard was enclosed and secure.

My mother is doing well at Carolina Gardens at Harbison. The staff is very helpful, very informative, they communicate with us well, and she adapted fantastically. It's a small community and there's a lot more one-on-one with the residents. It has a family-like atmosphere, they're very welcoming, and it's very homey. She has a shared room, but they have single rooms as well. They have an outdoor sitting area and a garden where they can go out and plant flowers, vegetables, or fruits. It's a secured facility. They have outings, and they do fun events. For example, there was a luau last night where they had food and games. There's a busy itinerary every day that's posted on the front door. They have daily devotionals, music, activities, games, movies, social events, ice cream socials, and they have activity boxes that help with mental stimulation and hand-eye coordination.

I'm planning to put my mother-in-law in Carolina Gardens at Harbison. My impression of the community is very nice. The rooms were suitable and they're actually very nice for the price. The staff greeted me during the tour and everybody was very friendly. I was shown some of their amenities like the hair salon, activities room, and the garden. Everything was good; I can't say anything bad about them.
