Harmony at Independence was very nice. They didn't have any apartments available at the time, but we were able to see one and it was very nice and very well done. I was astonished that the apartments were so large. Everything there went very well. The director was very nice, very cordial, and very knowledgeable. We enjoyed our tour very much. The facility was very nice, very cozy, and very homey. We did have lunch and it was very good and very tasty. The activities that were going on were very nice. They were having some kind of craft show in one room and then they were watching a movie in another. But everything was very nicely done. There were a lot of things to do. There was a puzzle room where if you want to do puzzles, you can go in and do that. And the movie theater, I was impressed with that.

My mom moved in at Harmony at Independence this month. We chose it, first of all, because of the price. Second, the staff was very helpful. They explained everything. They laid out the contracts, the prices, and the floor plans. They told us exactly what was included in the price. The facility itself was absolutely gorgeous. The residents were kind, inviting, and very welcoming to my mother. She feels very comfortable there. I had a meal, and it was very good. I had a huge piece of chicken and some green beans that were wonderfully seasoned. A salad went along with it and some nice iced tea. My mother really likes the food there. I think she also likes the fact that she doesn't have to cook it herself, and that makes a big difference. The food looks healthy. They offer a good variety. It's not high gourmet stuff, but it's good healthy food. I noticed a musician there. They have bingo and church services, but Mom hasn't participated in the activities yet. I participated in Ice Cream Sandwich Day, and that was a lot of fun. I think a lot of residents participated in that activity, and they enjoyed it. They have been so accommodating and so helpful. They make sure that my mom is comfortable and well taken care of. If she ever needs anything, she just needs to go downstairs or call the front desk. They take good care of her. Everything is neat, clean, and beautifully decorated. The check-in desk has clean and dirty pens. You don't have to use the same old pen to sign in. They're taking good care of mom's apartment. They come in and clean her apartment every week. Mom is really happy there. They try to get her involved in activities. If she has any issues, they're always there to address any issues she may have, which have been rare. I think they're an excellent value for the money. They've got everything my mom needs right there.

We did a tour of Harmony at Independence. What we saw were just normal apartments, but you can move over to assisted living, but there's one side of it that's still independent living. It's a very nice and beautiful place. The staff was very friendly. We saw a few residents around and all of them seemed to be very happy. Everybody was welcoming. We had a chance to have lunch there, and the food was good. They have a lot of activities and a big calendar of things for seniors to do. It's very pricey, but I think all of them are. We were just a little taken aback by how much senior care costs. I think that's something that everyone needs to prepare for. But all in all, everything that they offer and what they have in place there, was certainly worth the cost because of the peace of mind that your parents would be somewhere very safe, quiet, and peaceful. I would say that's a good thing. Their staff is very knowledgeable, and I haven't run into anyone that isn't very knowledgeable about senior care. They were able to tell us things that their building offered and doesn't offer. They have a gym and a pool, things like that. They have one big meeting hall that they had like church services, lectures, and things on. They had everything. Once a week or something, they had in home movies. The seniors didn't have to leave that complex, so their amenities were very nice. My mom was very impressed with the food. The building itself was nice looking, neat, and clean. I didn't see anything that was untoward.

I liked Harmony at Independence a lot. It was very pleasant. I liked Kim who took me around. It was a very pleasant experience. It's on my list of considerations. The rooms looked beautiful. I met mostly with Kim and she was very, very pleasant and very helpful. They had a gym, conference rooms, and activity rooms. I didn't taste any of the food, but it looked like a nice menu. It was a restaurant-style setting.

Everybody at Harmony at Independence was very friendly. They showed us around the entire facility. They offer a lot of activities. The rooms were very spacious. They had kitchens available in their rooms and huge bathrooms with pull strings. They have some balconies and patios too. The place was very clean.

Harmony at Independence was a very nice place, very clean, and very friendly. They had good amenities and good and clean rooms. I like the environment, their friendliness and courtesy, and the availability. The staff did a good job at explaining everything and showing me the variety of rooms that they offer. Everything was clean, acceptable, and in working condition.

We visited Harmony at Independence two years ago. They had a theater, beauty salon, computer room, library, and activity buses that they could take the residents out to doctor's appointments and shopping. Everybody was just great, and everybody we interviewed with was wonderful. We also had a meal there, and it was great. They staff was very nice, very accommodating, professional, courteous, and helpful. The facility was wonderful, too. It was very new, in great shape, and well-maintained.

My mother will be moving into Harmony at Independence. We liked the people, we liked the way it looked, it was new, and they had a balcony. It was kind of perfect for her. The room we saw was large, very airy, and light. There's a lot of light coming in. They offer a movie theater. They have a place where you can go to get PT. They also have a gym, a list of things to do, a long list of events, they do a happy hour three days a week, and movies three days a week. The staff has been very helpful. Generally, overall, the number of events, socialization, the way it was laid out, just about everything was perfect. We would recommend it for anyone.

I saw Harmony at Independence. We do like that place a lot, it's just that it was farther from our home. It was wonderful, it was absolutely wonderful. It's been some time, but everybody was kind, and the place was great. This was right before COVID, so we had a good experience. My mother really likes it. The people were welcoming, she saw that they had happy hour, activities, game rooms, and the dinner area. The food looked good. It was just a nice atmosphere. The lady showing us around was lovely.

Extremely pretty and very nice, but none of the apartments in the interior were available. The ones available were along the city road without balconies and out of our price range. The buildings were beautiful and relatively new. The lady was very nice, very knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. The residents looked happy and fine. The dining area looked fine with several dining rooms available. They had movie nights, game nights, and games during the day.

Fantastic. The place is clean, new and bright, and the staff is courteous, helpful and kind. They have physical therapy, outings for the residents, they provide meals, and they provide transportation to take them shopping or doctors' appointments. The community feels homey overall.

My visit was excellent. Their dining area has table linens and silver, it was gorgeous. The food was extraordinary and the rooms are great. There's a kitchenette, bedroom, and a living room that are very spacious, and a good-sized bathroom that has access to the shower.

Seemed kind of in the middle of things that they need or they could easily get transportation to without getting in the hubbub of things. They had attention to detail and they didn't have dust, dirt or grime buildup. It's one of those places where it's clean and healthy enough to be happy. It's a really new location and it hasn't been open that long so it's in really good condition.
