I am increasingly concerned about the lack of communication. I called three times yesterday and twice today without a response. This is especially troubling given that in the past, when I did not hear from her for several days, I had to request a welfare check. We had previously agreed that staff would assist my mother with phone calls, and I was hearing from her every other day. More recently, I was told I should call daily and that someone would return my call. That has not been happening. My mother requires assistance to dial the phone, so I am fully dependent on your staff to facilitate communication. When I cannot reach her or receive a callback, I have no way of knowing if she is safe or well. I need a consistent and reliable communication plan in place immediately. At a minimum, I am requesting: A guaranteed daily update (even brief) if I am unable to reach her Assistance for my mother in making or receiving calls A designated staff contact responsible for ensuring follow-through Please let me know how you will address this today. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, Suzanne Martin -- Suzanne Martin PhD (203)249-8535 Jeremiah Goodwin 8:17PM (17 minutes ago) to Nina, me Suzanne, we are under no obligation to communicate with you directly or facilitate a conversation between you and your mother.

With several falls, injuries and a hospitalization, in addition to refusing to call 911, we immediately moved to a more supportive and caring home. Harbor uses word manipulation in their advertising to attract business, however do not offer what they state. It just did not feel like a "care" home. Unfortunately I would not recommend this facility for your loved ones needing sincere care and support. Thank you for the response. The fact that you used the verbiage "constant", in your reply, describes exactly the sentiment of Harbor, that we/she was a bother. It was never about the money, as we offered to pay more for better care and it was declined. All we wanted was a safe and caring place for my Mom and unfortunately the standard at Harbor was not that. The pictures I posted tell only 60% of what she endured, and "context " enough to express our experience; not to mention twice her laying on the floor for hours because staff was not able to lift her (or call for help) until my brother or I arrived. This is not personal, I understand you have a business to run, however the care level at Harbor left us with a lot to be desired. I do appreciate you working with us to accommodate your protocols and wish you and your families all the best.

And luckily she chose Heritage Pointe. What a great place! The caregivers are so kind and knowledgeable and hard working. The management is committed to exceptional care. On move in, the staff arranged and rearranged, hung, moved, catered. They painted the apartment to the color of her choice. There is weekly sparkling housekeeping and one day laundry service. There are all levels of care from independent living to memory care. She needed help with showering and dressing. But in addition, someone would always pop by to check on her in the morning, make up her bed and set a small breakfast. And they checked on her all day. Always going the extra. There is plenty to do. There is a pool, a movie theatre, a workout room with personal trainers , an on-site physical therapist, a library, classes, lectures, guest speakers and performers, happy hour, a piano lounge, a hair salon, transportation to all of the local shops and conveniences and a coordinator to arrange a driver for doctor appointments.

If anyone is looking for a senior living/ assisted living/ memory care place, I highly encourage you to go on a tour. My mom truly couldn't be happier.
