My husband is a resident of Harbor's Edge Retirement Community. It's a very nice place, he liked it a lot. There's the former building, and there's a new building. Right now, as of a couple of weeks ago, he was transferred from the old building to the new building because they're renovating where he was living; but he'll be moving back there. I like the old building better than the new building.
The staff has been very good, and if there is someone that we don't care for, we complain and we don't see them again. In the unit that he was living in, he has a dining room, living room, with a small kitchenette. It's a big room, and he had a large bedroom; it has a very large closet and a large bathroom. The rooms vary somewhat.
He takes physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and water therapy. They have a dining room, and they have activities that you can go to and they're off the site. They'll take you to various things. He doesn't do any of those because we've done so many things over in our life that he's not interested in doing any of those.
It's pretty good, actually, but I don't want to get in there. It's okay if you end up in assisted living and you have long-term care insurance. But if you don't live in long term and you don't have long term care insurance, it is not cheap. I think it's the same as most places are around here.

I went to Harbor's Edge Retirement Community. It was very nice, the staff knew I was coming, so they were expecting me. I was greeted. We did the tour first and then we sat down and discussed the cost and the type of services that are available in that facility because they did a couple of things at that particular location. The tour itself was okay. The rooms there are like mini apartments, I guess you could say, they are handicapped accessible. They have little kitchenettes in them, they don't have a full refrigerator, and stoves, and all that stuff. They did quite a few activities. They did a lot of outings as well. They go to different venues, I think the residents can give suggestions or recommendations the way they want to go and things like that. They had lots of services like spa and parlor, that type of stuff was in there. They can do more level of care. So even if they are in assisted living and you need something, they do have that available as well.

Harbor’s Edge is a huge high-rise. It’s expensive and would be overwhelming for mother. It’s very nice inside, and the rooms are beautiful, but it would be too big for mom. The food was very nice.

Harbor's Edge was a really nice facility. It's probably top of the line and very expensive, but it's a very good facility for the three different levels of care: independent living, assisted living, and full hospital care for the handicapped and for Alzheimer's. They have buses to go to the doctors and to different places. They have exercise rooms, a pool on top of the building, and a huge library downstairs. There are many things to do and they keep you lively. You can actually have an apartment. They have three different restaurants depending on your health, a 24-hour service for going to a doctor and across the streets, some hospital items. My friends who are there love the food. I have been in two out of their three restaurants, and they're excellent. The best thing for me is that it's located near where my friends are and I have friends in there. If I had my choice, that's where I will go.

Harbor's Edge is the assisted living facility where one of my aunts is now residing. Aunt Ella has always regarded her "˜personal independence' as being of utmost importance and it took us a little time to discover a senior community where she would truly be happy and content.
The one thing she feared most was the possibility of being treated like a child or having someone hover about-watching her every move. What she wanted was a place where she could experience a full life with as much independence as possible.
The staff at Harbor's Edge was very helpful from the very first visit and the director eased her worries by taking all of us on a tour of the facilities; introducing us to some of the other residents and explaining that our aunt's freedom to live her own life would be supported and encouraged. She was thrilled to discover she would have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities from poker to scuba diving. If someone wants to try something that is new or different this staff goes out of their way to help make it happen, if at all possible.
Today she remains as happy about her living arrangement as she was the day that she first moved there. She regularly travels to downtown Norfolk to eat at a favorite restaurant, attend the opera or simply enjoy a shopping trip. When she needs help with transportation, medications or other daily tasks she knows that all she has to do is request those services from an available member of the staff.
She can enjoy a waterfront view just by looking out of the window or walking along the property of Harbor's Edge. There is even a swimming pool that contains buoyant salt water which is ideal for seniors and others who may have arthritic joints. We know that our aunt is extremely pleased with this particular amenity and you can generally find her relaxing in (or by) the pool on many occasions. This facility has given our aunt a new lease on life during her golden years.
