HarborChase of Tamarac

I do not recommend HarborChase of Tamarac if you care about your parent or loved one. The staff (other then a few I will mention) are uncaring and at times NASTY. I will start with Laura, the "Manager" of the facility. Before my mom moved in, promises were made on how I will be about to communicate with her. After the week she moved in, the rules were changed and I needed to completely advocate for both her and myself to maintain communication. Not long after my mother moved into Harbor Chase...

My father is in HarborChase of Tamarac. I love it. They're very kind, very nice, and very helpful. The staff is fantastic. They deal with people with memory care and they understand the process. It's a very small facility with 80 beds. You can't see the room during the middle of COVID, so you can't go that far into the facility. The common rooms that I saw via FaceTime with my father seemed to be very nice. They answer all of my emails and phone calls. They are very dedicated to the people w...

I was very happy to find HarborChase of Tamarac. They were referred to me by my grandmother's current home nursing care, and they ended up being a great referral for her. She moved in there January 2018. The staff members are wonderful. Lori, who works with intake, is great. I met the chef, who is great. Really, the entire staff is wonderful. I hadn't eaten there, but the food looked great. Depending upon what the residents enjoy doing, they have a couple of choices throughout the day, so they c...

My mother has been at HarborChase of Tamarac for about a month now. The place is good. I have no problem with it in general. It is pet-friendly which is important. She doesn’t particularly care for it because she can’t make friends; everybody is depressed. She’s in a private room. The food is a little bland, but they do that for the dietary concerns of other people. The staff and the people are great. They do whatever they can to try to make the residents comfortable. There’s entertainment and ...

HarborChase of Tamarac is too big for memory care. The place is huge -- way too spread out -- and there are a lot of corridors. I went back a second time with my brother, and on that day, there were a lot of leaks in the roof. My impression the second time was not good, and I didn't care for the facility. It was in disarray. The rooms were small, and I didn't think the place on the whole was clean. I wasn't impressed at all. They had a hairdressing salon, but it was so tiny. It looked like they ...

My stepmother has been placed at HarborChase of Tamarac. The entire facility is for memory care. It's physically structured in a horseshoe, so the people can never get lost. It's completely gated so they can go inside and outside and not feel contained. There aren't any locked doors. I think it's a much healthier place for a person with memory loss than just a small 10-person unit somewhere. I liked HarborChase because of that. In spite of the fact that she has memory care, she has a private bed...

HarborChase of Tamarac is extremely clean and devoid of urine smell. The staff is really nice. We are very happy with the services, and the food is excellent. They have bingo, lunch outings, and sing-alongs. They have so many activities to keep the patients' brains working. I needed a place with people who would take care of someone who has dementia, and they do a really good job. My loved one shares a room with one other patient; it's big and roomy, painted, and clean.

I moved my Mom to this community about 3 months ago and couldn't be happier it was such a difficult decision to move her but it was so difficult caring for her at home. Everyone at HarborChase was so wonderful before, during and after the move in process.I looked at so many different communities and this was by far the best!! My Mom at home wasn't eating very well now she has gained 3 lbs and is so busy she doesn't hardly have time for me and my brother. Every time we visit staff they are always...

I had the opportunity to visit a new client at Harbor Chase of Tamarac. I had never been there before. Upon arriving, one can see that much work and pride has gone into this facility with the beautifully landscaped grounds. I felt as if I was walking into a 5 star resort. The interior of the building is beautifully furnished from the flowers to the furniture. A staff person greeted me and asked how they could assist. I told them I was visiting a resident. As we walked through a living area, I co...

I like this place so much. It's very nice and clean. I love the harmony which exist there. Every room is so beautiful decorated and the piece that rules there I think that is rare and in so little places you can find it. My grandfather was a little bit of skeptical at the first time. He was living with my grandmother. Since she died he was running away from the people like someone was chasing him. He closed in himself and it was so difficult to talk with him. My family was supporting him all th...

The staff was of high quality. From what I saw, all of the senior citizens staying at this particular facility were treated well. The nurses and other staff members respected them and made them as comfortable as possible. When I visited, my grandmother was thirsty, and one of the nurses kindly asked her what kind of beverage she wanted to drink. Once my grandmother answered, she was very quick about getting the drink for her. It was nice to see that my grandmother was in good hands. I also...

I like everything about the place. Its clean and they have nice rooms.The employees and nurses are very caring. They also have a little nursing area. They give her the assistance she needs, they help her shower and everything. The residents look nice and well - dressed. The food is good and they also have snacks.They have entertainments and have some activities to help the memory. I randomly visit there so I can't think of anything else that they need t o improve. I am very satisfied with the ca...

While in the Miami area, we made it a point to take a look at the HarborChase of Tamarac assisted living facility as an option for my friend's mother. We didn't have an appointment, but the staff was still friendly and accommodating. The cabana style buildings looked like a resort. The grounds had lush greenery with palm trees and shrubs with lovely gardens and patios. We liked the way the main foyer was decorated and could smell fresh flowers. Residents are regularly invited to participate i...
