Homey atmosphere, great fit for mom

Facility is very nice, kept clean. Majority of the staff is very accommodating, pleasant to speak with. They, like everyone else, sometimes were short staffed, at no fault to the facility. We really liked the private room setting for my Mom. Didn't feel like an 'institution' like some care facilities can. My mom was diabetic, I think their menu was a little tough on her. And I think at some point my mom didn't really know what she was eating. It is hard to prepare meals that everyone likes. It is probably 'healthier' than what we make at home, therefore might not taste as good!

Excellent service

Keelson was very accommodating to my sister's needs. She felt almost immediately at home and seems to have fitted in well. Keelson communicates her needs to us. I would recommend Keelson to other prospective customers.

I am no expert on what care should be like. I see people that are in pretty bad shape that require a lot of attention, in my opinion, questionable if they shouldn't be in skilled nursing instead. But what do I know!! Most of the workers try hard to be accommodating, but the shortage of help puts a load on all of them. Unfortunately, this is the world we live in today. The place is clean and does not smell. I wouldn't know if the food was good or not.. my mom eats and does not complain. Keelson was very accommodating when we reached a crisis point and needed a room. I don't know how often activities are encouraged. However the activities director is good with the residents. I would recommend this facility to others. I would recommend this facility to others.

My review of Keelson Harbour

We chose Keelson Harbour because I was hoping he could go into memory care but it did not end up that way. Another reason was I needed to be in a place that had assisted living that could help me in and out of bed. The food here is more institutional and I would prefer more homemade cooking. But the staff members are great and I would definitely recommend.

I would recommend the facility

My mom seems to be getting good care here at Keelson Harbour. They have been very good about keeping us up to date about her care and accommodating visits on face-time and phone calls since I live out of town. My siblings that are there in IA are having outside visits with her. The facility has just opened back up doing haircuts for the residents and she seems to be happy.

Memory Care Limited - not sure if would choose again

Regarding the Memory Care Assisted Living I would say they have a decent facility with good care. Activities are fairly limited - not always a lot offered, especially on weekends which has been rather disappointing. Beware that this is really just an early to mid-Alzheimers facility. Anything that becomes remotely behavioral will likely require your loved one to be discharged.

We are settling in

My husband and I are living here in the independent living in a 1 bedroom apartment. Housekeeping comes in 1x weekly to clean. We wear life alert necklaces in case of an emergency. They try to engage us to join the daily activities. We have one meal at 12 and some days its good and some days it's not. The staff are nice and friendly. They have a shuttle to take us to Fairway or Walmart or a Dr if we need. This is a pleasant place to live and I would recommend it.

No complaints so far

I live out of state from my parents but from what I hear is they have no complaints. I was with them when they chose the community, and it was very nice, clean, and well-maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is warm and inviting. We had very high standards for the community to meet my parent's needs and it was a good fit. They are living independently now in the community and they are familiar with the area. It is conveniently located to all of their shopping and their suitable needs. One of the reasons they chose the community is if in the future they ever need assisted living they won't have to pick up and move to another community. Also it a la carte for the care needs, you only pay for what you need, it's not all one lump sum for things you do not need.
