About This Community

At Harbor Terrace Retirement, most all of our staff has been here for over 15 years and the management team has been here since we opened 25 years ago. We are a dedicated, hard-working, loving group whose complete focus is giving the best care and attention possible to our residents.

Our team has been together for many years, some since the very beginning of Harbor Terrace! Being a family-owned business, not a corporate structure, makes Harbor Terrace a great place not only to live as a resident but to work as well. From the top management to all the staff that works around the clock to make Harbor Terrace a "Home Away From Home", we would like to wish you a warm welcome!

Our community assists residents with activities of daily living and basic care support in a homelike or apartment setting. Residents receive three meals a day, recreational and social activities, housekeeping, linen service, apartment maintenance, and transportation.

Trained caregivers provide attention and assistance with medication management, bathing, dressing 24-hours a day. In addition, staff will coordinate services with outside healthcare providers and monitor residents to ensure they are healthy.

Amenities include:

  • Restaurant-style dining and bistro cafe
  • Educational, social and recreational programs
  • Caring professional team to assist with daily living
  • Med Tech on staff to monitor health needs
  • Daily housekeeping and linen service
  • Studio, one-bedroom suites
  • Comfy living spaces throughout
  • Games and entertainment
  • Fitness and wellness programs
  • Activities and event planner on staff
  • Beauty salon | barber shop
  • Massage Therapy
  • Computer Room
  • Library

The most important is the food! We have a well-appointed and comfortable dining room where all the meals are served by a wait staff. We feature a varied menu every day plus additional choices as requested. Our on-site dietician ensures that all special diets are maintained and enhanced as allowed. For those that desire a snack, tea, coffee or other refreshments, the Harbor Terrace Bistro is available 24 hours a day.

I went to Harbor Terrace Retirement Community. They have three meals a day. They're like little apartments with a kitchenette. My parents liked it, but it's too expensive. It's like almost $5000 for them both to live there. I like that they make sure they took their medicines and that they took them right. They have three meals a day. The staff was friendly, and I liked them. Everything was clean, and they had lots of resources.

I visited the property looking for a place for my dad. Property is sparkling clean and I loved the entrance covered in a variety of plants and with a beautiful fountain. Staff greeted me right away, was friendly and warm. The lobby was very clean and smelled great- I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly birds in the lobby! Danee did a fantastic job showing me the property- I noticed how clean and organized everything was (elegant, warm and bright). She is very easy to talk to, informative and answered all my questions. It feels really good to visit a place where the staff has been there for so long and truly care for their residents (in some cases more than 20 and 30 years!). Overall, I really enjoyed visiting the property, talking to the staff and one of the residents (Vivian). They gave me cookies on my way out and they were delicious! I think this would be a wonderful place for my dad!

Harbor Terrace helped relieve the stress and anxiety that goes along with having to put a loved one in assisted living. The environment and hospitality made it easy for my mom to transition into her new living situation. The facility is warm, inviting with always something fun going on. Their staff is so caring and always willing to go above and beyond.

My mom has been there over a year. She loves the staff, the other residents, the activities, the proximity to her family and friends and her room!

My mother-in-law is a current resident at Harbor Terrace. She has lived there almost five years. She has dementia, but is still able to have her own apartment. The activities she participates in help her be social. There are many activities every day. She forgets when the activities are but is either reminded by the kind staff or other residents. Harbor Terrace helps her with some of her ADLs and her medication. The staff treats her and every other resident like family. I have observed many interactions among the residents and staff, and every single person is treated with respect and kindness. We feel very luck that we found such a wonderful place. It's always hard making a decision about taking a parent from their home after so many years, but sometimes we have to do that for their safety. We had to do that, and I truly believe her quality of life is much better now than it was at home because she is with people all day long.

Harbor Terrace was wonderful. It's where my mother-in-law wanted to be, but she couldn't go back to it because she needed more care. They have lots of activities, and the community is very active in doing different things. The food was also wonderful, and the staff was very good and friendly. They were very helpful in doing things for her.

I visited Harbor Terrace. The price was decent. The inside was very nice and nicer than the other ones I visited, but the price was more expensive. It was more upscale, but the area was not that nice. Inside the community and the rooms were very nice. The food menu was good. I was not really impressed with the lady that we met. She was very upbeat, and I'm a very down-to-earth person. The one thing I did not like was that you had to bring in your own furniture.

Harbor Terrace is more in my price range. It is a well kept, nice, and well-staffed facility. Everything was clean and nice, and it looked presentable. I did not look into the activities -- although they did have some -- but I wasn't interested in those. Security and safety was adequate. I can't think of anything critical to say.

Harbor Terrace seemed to be very well-kept, and the manager seemed to have some good ideas on how to help the people who are staying there. It’s clean and has a nice patio. They have a car that will take her to the doctor’s appointment a couple of times a month. The rooms are nice, clean but a little dated. She has other people she knows there who are happy, and my mom is happy there.
