Overall Review of Harmony at Southridge
caveat7 reviews mention this
Memory care gets mixed reviews
Residents describe that memory care can fall short for higher needs.
Some families say the memory care unit was not a good fit for progressive dementia symptoms, describing insufficient time and support. Others point to operational problems such as limited updates, hard-to-reach communication, and care that seemed reactive instead of proactive. A few reviews describe gaps in basic needs and delayed follow-through on urgent tasks.
caveat7 reviews mention this
Cost is a recurring concern
Pricing stands out as expensive for several families.
Multiple reviewers call out high monthly cost and “sticker shock,” including rent increases over time. A few also warn that the lower base rent may come with added charges for items they expected to be included elsewhere. At the same time, a couple of reviews describe Harmony as a better price point than a different nearby option, but cost still remains a major theme overall.

The guide outlines the complexities of Medicaid coverage for assisted living, highlighting significant state-to-state variations, limited coverage often restricted to personal care services, and the existence of specialized waivers for certain needs like memory care. It advises families to consult local Medicaid offices for options while emphasizing the importance of understanding state-specific regulations and facility policies.
Medicaid coverage for assisted living varies by state and is primarily available to low-income individuals, with eligibility dependent on strict income and asset limits. Some states offer HCBS waivers for specific services in assisted living, but families must generally cover room and board costs, and should verify facility acceptance of Medicaid while considering potential waiting lists.
