Overall Review of Harbourwood Care Center

common 24 reviews mention this

Staff compassion and teamwork

Residents and families frequently describe the staff as caring and supportive.

Many reviewers thank the staff for being kind, attentive, and helpful, and several single out specific people by name. Others describe nurses and CNAs who show compassion in day-to-day care and communication with families. A smaller set of reviews goes the other direction, saying communication can be slow or staff can feel unprofessional, but even those complaints often still acknowledge some individual caregivers.

Call response and staffing concerns

Some reviewers report delayed call light response and staffing gaps.

Several negative reviews mention call lights going unanswered or being delayed, with one describing a long wait before staff returned. Other reviews describe being short-staffed and not getting needs met in a timely way, including missed hygiene care and medication-related concerns. On the positive side, some families say call lights were answered in a timely manner and that residents receive 24-hour support as needed.
