What this means for your family
Harbor Terrace offers an exceptional social environment and high-quality physical therapy, making it a visually appealing choice. However, families should be aware of recent reports regarding understaffing and communication gaps; I strongly recommend asking for a clear plan on how the facility communicates changes in care to family members before admission.

However, recent feedback highlights significant concerns regarding staffing levels and a lack of consistent, attentive care for residents in the rehab wing. Families should weigh the facility's strong social programming against reports of communication breakdowns and understaffing.”

Key Review Excerpts
“Nice clean facility. Greatly understaffed. Not much attention given to the patients. Staff is friendly, but not very visible or attentive.”
“The physical therapy I’ve received at Harbor Terrace Senior Living has been excellent. My two therapists, Stacy Ellis and Crystal Frazee, have been thorough, professional and encouraging.”
“Today Courtney Mann, a physical therapist at Harbor Terrace put through orders for my mother to be transferred with a Hoyer lift as opposed to a sit stand machine. This was a complete surprise to my mother and my family.”
