Key Review Excerpts

As my mom's dementia progressed, Rosie and Marta cheerfully helped her with her personal needs and always made sure she looked her best. They always ensured she was active and involved.

Family of a deceased resident · 2021★★★★★

My mother resided at Harbor Terrace for over 12 years. I cannot say enough about Harbor Terrace and their staff. Highly recommended.

Long-term resident's family · 2025★★★★★

Finding a retirement community that would treat my mom like family seemed an impossible task until we found Harbor Terrace.

New resident's family · 2021★★★★★
