Harmony a Place for Dad

Harmony at Independence has been a godsend for my family. My Dad is very happy as a resident. Harmony keeps me informed, the facility is well maintained. All of the staff have been on point and very friendly. My father initially moved in as an Assisted Living resident, and it soon became apparent that he needed to be moved into Memory Care. Harmony helped seamlessly transition my dad from AL to MC. I feel the staff treats my father well; like a family member. I am very pleased with Harmony at Independence.

What is most important to me is the care services that the staff provide. Everything is going great with my Mom. The agency that is working with her is doing a great job.

Not enough staff

I don't think they have enough staff to support the needs there. The nurses seemed overworked and unhappy. They tried really hard so it is heartbreaking. Mom did not like the food at all. She will be moving out because she's just unhappy with the whole experience.

Our families experience

For the care services, I consider this average our family has had to remind the nursing Director several times over the past year regarding linen and laundry services. With regards to personal assistance with dressing that's inconsistent as well. When it comes to the meals and dining, this has been the worst aspect of the community for my mother. The the menu is repetitive and includes many ethnic and seafood food that are not edible for my mother. There are weeks when she finds nothing on the menu to eat so she eats on the everyday menu mostly side dishes.. the portions have become increasingly smaller. They are served in Styrofoam occasionally, and my mother has an order for them to cut the food and she constantly has to remind them. They do offer a lot of in-house events and activities, they do not offer outings other than a weekly grocery store trip and I think they've been two other outings over the past year one to a park and I'm not sure where the other one was. I give it the score based on the meals and the care

Feels like family

They answer emergency pull cords quickly. Have a paramedics to come for fall help. Have good all building activities and specific group activities. I would recommend them for independent living. Have no experience with assisted or memory care.

Better Than Expected!

My mom is getting great care and assistance with this Assisted living program. I am quite impressed with how they handle all the various situations with all the numerous residents. And, I'm impressed with their dinning services that really make their people feel special. I've ate with my mom in there, and I'm way more impressed than I thought I would be. Harmony also has daily activities, therapy programs, special offerings, and MORE,... to keep their residents happy, moving about, and enjoying life.

A nice community with a caring staff

My mom doesn't take advantage of the activities accept the occasional Bingo. I think she is slipping in her cognitive abilities which has nothing to do with the staff. I feel she is taken care of better here than the previous place she was a resident. I know my mom isn't the easiest resident but I don't think she is the worst either. We are happy with her life at Harmony.

My loved one is currently a resident at Harmony at Independence and the experience has been very good so far. The staff are very nice people. However, like anywhere else, they are short staffed. The housekeeping in my loved one's unit gets behind or gets skipped. That's really the only complaint that my loved one has had. Overall, I would recommend this facility to others.

Harmony at Independence

I will tell you we are extremely satisfied with Harmony at Independence. My Mom is settled in and enjoys it very much. This was the first place that A Place For Mom suggested and was by far the best for our situation.

New resident observation

The staff is friendly and accommodating and the housekeeping is acceptable. The move-in process was fine, no issues really. When it comes to meals, the main course is not quality, and the preparation I would say to be the same. The menu repeats itself too often, there is not enough variety. The food is cold if you're not there at the beginning of meal time. The staff forgets to bring items that were asked for. As for improvement, there needs to be someway to look up an account online to request maintenance online. When it comes to laundry, the CNA's take care of it and it is not done properly. They do not have the equipment, nor the time, to do the two loads per week that they say they provide.

What I like the most about the Harmony at Independence is the real feeling that we are all family. I enjoy the included amenities here and the independent room sizes are not to small at alll.

Tour experience

We toured with Harmony at Independence and The person (I can't remember her name) was too casual-didn't comfort our names or relationship with my Mom. A little scattered and all over the place. Seemed not as clean as [facility name removed] or as close to me and her doctors.

Our family had an in person tour and we thought the tour experience was really nice and the staff members were friendly, but due to the level of care our loved one was going to need, they did not think she would be a good fit

[Name Removed] was great and so was the director. Since I moved my husband there, I have been less than thrilled with some of the memory care unit staff, particularly the evening staff. They are not always kind to the residents, and have been less than professional at times with each other in the presence of visitors.

Harmony of Independence - a truly caring community

My Dad is a resident at Harmony of Independence. The experience I’ve had with Harmony has been excellent. The facility is clean and safe. My Dad was able to integrate into the community easily and quickly. The other residents have been friendly and helpful. In my interactions with the staff, I have found them to be caring and helpful. Of special note, I must say that[name removed] their Sales and Marketing Director, has gone above and beyond her job description to help my Dad and me. It is abundantly clear that [name removed] truly loves and cares about/for the people at Harmony. As just one example of many things she has done, she has personally contacted me on her days off to make me aware of things concerning the well being of my Dad and made sure she and the Harmony staff were doing everything possible to watch out for and assist him to ensure he was safe and well taken care of. I would recommend Harmony of Independence to anyone looking for a nice place for a senior individual.
