Very tired staff. Poorly run. I’ve watched clients leave faculty without anyone knowing or caring. It is a fairly clean place but clients do not get the care they need. I would not recommend this home. We removed our love one after being there a few months.

My mom is there!! Beautiful staff nice, clean and in a good area. They take good care of my mom.

Good place. I would love to volunteer. I can read books, make crafts, painting, talk and be there with them. Let me know. Thanks

Sweet and caring people running this place

The staff are very respectful and accommodating

I was extremely disappointed with Harmony. It had a very impressive entrance, then once you get to the other side, there was this old, broken down car on the side that looked like a rundown trailer add-on. The staff there consisted of two people, and they were doing the cooking, so it wasn't appealing. They offered three meals and two snacks a day. The rooms were very small. The door was enough to get a wheelchair in and out of, but I didn't see anything private about any room. Also it was quite a distance from the rooms to the bathing area. The staff was very friendly but I had difficulty understanding them. I speak English only and I think they were Asian. However, they seemed bubbly and welcoming.

Harmony looks more where we take people for mental issues. It looks like mostly for people with mental disabilities. There were only two elderly people there with Alzheimer's. It was very disappointing and very depressing. Only three people run the place. They have the person who cooks, one nurse, and somebody else. The person who accommodated me was the nurse. She was trying to do her work, but she was struggling with the medications and with helping me. The house was dirty and dark, and the furniture was old. It was a mess. The kitchen was a mess too. There was a dining area where the tables were placed like those in a restaurant, but it was kind of weird.

I am a ARNP and visited a member at this facility and am truly appalled by the care he received. Would not even imagine leaving a loved one here.
