We moved to Harbour Assisted Living because I had open heart surgery and was unable to return home. We did not want to burden any of our five children by moving in with them.

What I like most about living here is how very kind the workers are; all of them! Of course, I love having my laundry, cleaning and meals planned and prepared for me; who wouldn’t? And I love the new friends we have made here!
