The staff is generally nice but overworked. Several slips in care occurred but one was unacceptable and caused me long term problems. One night my Dad needed help going to the bathroom and no one came. After 3 hours, he couldn't hold it anymore and wet himself in the bed. When the morning staff came in, he was wallowing in pee. The experience was obviously humiliating. Devastating to his long term care needs, he now refuses to be " put in a home" and will only return to his house. He will not even consider places outside The Moorings.

We also used the care provided from Elara and the PT/OT's at Chirch Creek, both companies provided great care.

Not every community is perfect. I can only speak fairly to the goodness that exists there. When physical troubles get severe, needs get severe and demands rise. Each hurting patient wants care, pain relief and hope. I don't know how the nurses are graded at this facility but let's give them the benefit of the doubt.

Call lights were not answered that she finally just got up by herself . They felt that waiting 30-40 mins when you have to go was fine and many times she ended up been a mess.

The Sisters absolutely love the residents at the nursing home. They treat them with such kindness and the residents always have fun activities to do. If you volunteer there, they offer volunteers an option to buy lunch once a week, and the food is DELICIOUS, especially considering the food the nuns get are usually donations. The sisters have a begging tradition that has spanned over 150 years that they still rely on the Providence of God to provide for their needs. The sisters are so hospitalable with employees, volunteers, visitors and benefactors alike. If you are looking for a place to go for some quiet time, the chapel is glorious and awesome! They usually have daily Mass in the morning, but I would call before arriving since they don't have a live in chaplain and it's visitng priests who say Mass. If you observe the residents and employees, you will hardly ever see a frown. The sisters provide an awesome atmospere; it almost doesn't even feel like a nursing home. Also, they have a really cute gift shop with reasonable gifts, stuff I've seen for more money at retail stores and also they sell baked goods at the front door. I am giving them 5 stars because I love volunteering here!!!

Caring.com put Harbor House in touch with me and from the moment I spoke with Savannah, the executive director, I knew this place was special. Savannah actually did the assessment at the big, fancy, expensive nursing home and confirmed what I already suspected. We moved her out of there and Savannah actually drove out there and helped me move her stuff and my mom (I was visiting mom out of town). Over the next few days, I got a very up-close look at Harbor House and how the staff interacts with their residents. I popped in at unexpected times and walked through the adjacent buildings. I never saw a deviation from the excellence of care I saw the first time - not even once. I never saw residents mistreated or spoken to condescendingly, like I did at the other place. The caregivers are amazing women. Sam, Becky, Brittany, are really hands on nurses. Sam spent tons of time with me, discussing my mother's medications. The doctors call you and I spoke with Dr. Ernst about my mom for an hour! I couldn't even get the doctor at the big, fancy place to return my call! The place is small and it's warm and cozy - like a previous commenter said, it's not like an institution at all. It's like a home. My mom has an adorable sunny, private room with her own bathroom. She's always got someone there to help her. All I can say about this place except is that it's exceptional. I have learned that big, fancy nursing homes are usually understaffed and can't manage the needs of their patients. This place CARES for their patients. I don't need crystal chandeliers and big lobbies. I need individualized care with people who treat the elderly like the human beings they are. Harbor House does this. The owner of this facility needs to be very proud of his staff and his philosophies. I hope they never change. Amazing place.
