My wonderful fiancée passed away there last year . Most of the people where quite friendly . But there where a few I wondered how they got that job. They had a difficult time trying to get her in the chair lift . Another nurse an RN actually belittled a subordinate right in front of my fiancée and myself which I thought was totally wrong . There needs some changes that need to be made but over all I would rate it 7-10

My mother had a compression fracture and she's now using a walker to move around. She was in Harbor Hill for 2 months. She was also there 4 years ago after her heart attack and we thought to bring her again there when she had a fall 2 months ago. Harbor Hill is also known to have much better skilled nursing facility here in Belfast. The service and the staff were good. The food was adequate and they have some snacks and nice people who served them.

The atmosphere was clean and elegant. It was simple, somewhat like the stereotypical nursing home. I didn't like who the mostly permanent residents were mixed with the rehabbing residents as I believe it discourages hope of leaving for those who are actually able to leave. Rooms were mostly double occupancy. I have no problem with this as long as long term patients are not mixed with those in rehab. Staff seemed to be friendly and were quite talkative and knowledgeable. Assistance was nearly instant when my friend rang his buzzer. There was cable TV in the rooms, providing for some entertainment while my friend stayed. The nursing home has WiFi, another major benefit for those who are just in rehab, allowing them to keep in touch with friends and family in a digital manner. The home itself is located right by the water in an elegant location providing optimism for those visiting. Overall, my limited experience with this home was positive.
