My mother went to Harmony Court. It is good. It's not the best, just because they don't have all meals. My brother placed her, so I don't know how much he paid, but it's probably a little bit more economical. It's clean and orderly, and they have some amenities. Their kitchen is closed, so they're delivering food right now.

Harmony Court is an independent living facility with no nursing care, but if you want you can hire privately. It's a wonderful place for your parents when they no longer should be taking care of their homes. Luckily my dad went there seven years ago, so he enjoyed it, and as he needed help we were able to hire a nurse's aide for a couple of hours. But when it got to the point when he needed 24-hour care, it no longer made sense monetarily, so we put him in a nursing home. The staff was wonderful. They had daily activities, exercise classes in the morning, they have a cafeteria that they walk to, and there's a lot of socialization there as they eat in the dining room. They go on outings, play bingo, people play cards every single day, there's puzzles, crafts, they have football parties, and wine and cheese parties. The rooms were all individual apartments, they have little kitchenettes, one- or two-bedrooms, and also a studio, and they're very lovely. They have housekeeping that comes in once every two weeks and just vacuums and dusts. They also have underground parking and two meals a day, but there's always so much food, and they handle dinner themselves in their apartment.

I saw Harmony Court and it's just very nice. Pam was the administrator. She was very nice, but it's a large community, and I think my father would like a smaller community. They get two meals a day, and you have to pay for your phone and cable. I know four different people that live there and they all love it. I know all the staff there. The food was very good.
