Review for Colonial Harbor

The community is in a great location, offers a lot resources, outings, and activities for the residents. It is not appropriate for loved ones with any type of dementia or wandering.

A Great facility

The facility provides daily activities in the Activity Room which are announced via the intercom. Many other special events are planned throughout the year. The facility contains an exercise room, a computer room, a chapel, a library area, a large screen TV area, a pool table area and multiple areas with tables and chairs where residents can play cards, do puzzles, do adult coloring/art or simply sit and visit with family or others residents. All areas are clutter-free and cleaned on a regular basis. The housekeeping staff provides weekly cleaning services for every apartment. We cannot say enough good things about the staff at Colonial Harbor. From top to bottom the staff is professional yet friendly. They are always willing to assist with the resident's questions or concerns. They are excellent when interfacing with the resident's family when that is part of the equation as in our case with a 97 year old parent/resident. I failed to address maintenance but it should be noted that they take work orders seriously and work hard to make their resident's apartments a good and safe place in which to live. We have had good results every time we have needed maintenance.

Great community and Great experience!

The place was beautiful! It was very clean, the people in the community were so very friendly and they reached out to the new member of the community and treated them like family. The Staff was excellent! They were accommodating, caring, and took care of anything that was needed to make my mother comfortable. I loved the dining area, it made it easy for everyone to be comfortable but also able to get to know each other. The activities were amazing, it seemed to fit anything that anyone would want to do. My overall experience with Colonial Harbour for my mother was great! I can't say enough about the Staff. I loved them, they were concerned, compassionate and made me feel so very comfortable with having my mother there. If my husband and I ever have the need for this type of arrangement Colonial Harbour will be where we'll go!

The entire staff is very welcoming and extremely helpful. They are also too welcoming that you could easily be tempted to take advantage of them.

Not a Good place for Mom

My sister lives at Colonial Harbor. It’s awful and doesn’t give her the benefits she is paying for. 1. Pays for own Wi-Fi since what’s offered is not strong enough to get to her apartment. 2. Food used to be good. Now it’s awful. Baked potatoes and cottage cheese is worth the price that is charged in rent. 3. No transportation. Been in repair shop most of this year. 4. Can’t find a activities director that will stay. No weekly activity sheet. Has a nice tv room but no one uses it. 5. Very small budget for activities. 6. Apartment was not properly refurbished before move in. Even the toilet paper holder is not level. I could go on but I’ll run out of space

Colonial Harbor is Senior Living Excellence

Colonial Harbor is now home for my elderly father and he loves it! The atmosphere is alway cheerful with friendly staff and residents. His desire to be in a community of family and friends has been accomplished and he is thriving in that environment. We, the family, know that we made the right decision when moving him closer to us from his longtime home 300 miles away. What a relief to know that he is in the perfect independent senior living facility. He is in a lovely one bedroom apartment with access to a variety of activities, three delicious meals a day, weekly housekeeping, and an amazing, caring staff!

I asked my mother-in-law and she stated that she liked the environment. She liked socializing with the other residents. The food definitely needs to be improved the activities were fine.

Blindsided by 50% price increase with no warning

After my mother had been at Colonial Harbor just short of a year (11 months), she was notified that her rent was being increased by over $1,000 a month. This means we will likely have to be moving her somewhere, and I have no idea where, by the end of this year. I am trying to find out more information on a grant program that may be available to her but there is a fine line between Assisted Living and Independent Living as far as the grant is concerned. People should be advised to check how often rent increases happen and by what percentage - I was blindsided.

Review for Colonial Harbor

It as close and cost lower than others, and I needed help moving so my options just worked out that way. After renting 1 room for 5 years this is great to live here. I would recommend to others.

Sales Experience

[name removed] handled the conversations with my mother-in-law and me very well. He could tell I was sincerely motivated to help her and she could see the benefits of coming to live at Colonial Harbor. She was a bit obstinate about moving, but we were able to let her become familiar with the apartment. At lunch I was impressed that so many residents were smiling and many made an effort to come by and say hello and encourage her to join the community. She has been pretty isolated the last three years with the pandemic, so joining an existing community that is both safe and welcoming will be really good for her. My compliments to the team and community and I am looking forward to [name removed] having a better life the next few years.

It seemed to me that there were less public gathering spaces here than at other places we toured. The choices in food were not as varied. The outdoor spaces not very attractive. And it was a poor location within the general area.
