Overall Review of The Harborage

caveat 8 reviews mention this

Call-bell response is a problem

Several residents and families describe long waits for help.

A recurring concern is that residents’ requests for assistance were not met quickly when families said they were urgently needed. Multiple reviews mention unanswered call bells or unanswered phone calls, along with residents left waiting for basic care. A few comments also describe staff not returning contact after being reached, which added frustration for families already worried about their loved ones.

caveat 6 reviews mention this

Cleanliness concerns come up

Some reviews describe unsanitary conditions and messes.

While some reviewers say the building is clean, several others describe cleanliness problems that made them worry about safety. These reviews mention dirty rooms, soiled conditions, and instances of waste left unaddressed. Even among critical reviews, housekeeping is sometimes treated as inconsistent—complaints focus more on nursing-day care areas than on the grounds.

common 5 reviews mention this

Rehab therapy receives praise

Rehab therapy is a frequent bright spot in reviews.

Several families describe positive experiences on the rehab side, including therapy that helped with recovery. Reviews highlight physical therapy as supportive and effective, and mention specific therapists for their care and professionalism. Even when other parts of the stay draw complaints, these rehab-focused comments tend to be more consistently favorable.

common 3 reviews mention this

Activities add structure

Residents and families mention community activities positively.

Reviews that mention activities tend to describe them as a meaningful part of daily life, with opportunities for interaction rather than downtime. Some comments also thank recreation staff for staying engaged with patients’ needs. Where care complaints are present, these activity notes stand out as one area that felt more organized to families.
