My sister is living in Colonial Harbor Gracious Retirement Living. It's all independent living and it's a wonderful place. Their office staff are very nice but the cleaning staff who cleans twice a week fall short and I don't like that. They're a little irregular. Sometimes they clean well, sometimes they don't. She's been in her apartment for 14 years so she's had problems like the refrigerator leaking and the leak over her shower. They took a long time with those. The place is always decorated with a theme and they have a beautiful dining room. It is beautiful, it looks like a cruise ship with all the white tablecloths and black-tie servers. It's really nice and very formal. Directly in front of the doors, they have a very wide beautiful staircase that nobody ever uses because they all use the elevator. They have a library, too. My sister's suite has a kitchenette, a living room area, and a separate place for a bedroom. It's handicapped-accessible with a nice patio outside. She participates in every activity like how they went to Olive Garden today. Sometimes though, their van is not working. They also have somebody good for an activities director. The community provides meals. They have a kitchen, they cook them and they'll bring the meals to your room if you want to. If you're sick, they'll check on you and bring the meal to you. These people are very accommodating. The staff has always been consistently good with the people there. My sister is legally blind and they have always paid attention to her. If something was going on they would always call me.

My mom moved to Colonial Harbor. Everything is smooth. I like the way it looks and smells and how easy the process was. The facility is very clean. It has up-to-date furniture. The food was tasteful. It took time for them to make it. The staff is excellent. She's very professional. She took time with my mom. She understood what I was going through. They have bingo. They're going to have a Halloween festival, and then they're going to do a Thanksgiving festival.

We moved to Colonial Harbor. We love it. It has a good atmosphere. The residents and hallways are always clean, and quiet, and a very friendly set. They have a library, a gym, and a big TV-watching area. They have an internet mail office room. They have two nice central gathering areas where people can sit down, read, and chat. They have two different card tables where locals will play canasta or cards and a larger game room for bingo. Since their prices are right in line with everybody else tha...

We toured Colonial Harbor. They were just finishing up lunch when we got there and they offered beverages. They said I could come back and they would love to sit down with me and invite me to have breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The facility is well-kept and very inviting. From the time you walk into the facility, you are welcomed. It's a heartfelt welcome and not just saying "Hi, how you doing?" It's nice and clean. And the residents seemed very happy there. We arrived a little early, so they of...

My mother-in-law moved to Colonial Harbor. We were very happy with the community overall. It aligned best with her specific needs. We liked that it offers three meals a day, and weekly housekeeping, and that includes changing bed linens and towels. We also liked that the units only contain, a kitchenette rather than a full kitchen because that's what works best with her needs. The staff has been great. We've been very happy with the level of attention, attention to detail, and just overall. They...

My father-in-law moved to Colonial Harbor. I think a couple of reasons why we chose it is because the independent living works for him at his current stage and mobility, and the other reason was the price and then the availability of a ground floor room with outside access via the patio. The facility is clean and well-maintained. The staff seems to be resident-oriented and responsive to questions. The residents were friendly and engaged in their interaction with one another. The staff has been...

My brother moved into Colonial Harbor. It is clean and neat, and it is very pretty. They take good care of him and they provide everything that he needs. They have a washer and dryer on each floor in each wing. Someone comes in and makes his bed, cleans the bathroom, cleans the apartment, changes the towels, and washes his towels. He has a studio apartment with a bathroom and a small kitchen. They serve 3 good meals a day in the beautiful dining hall, and they can choose pretty much what they wa...

My dad moved into Colonial Harbor. We chose it because he needed something on the first floor. He needed a place that was pet-friendly. He wanted a social aspect, so he wanted a lot of people who shared his interests. He walked around and talked to people, and it was nice. The staff members have been great. My dad likes the food. They showed a lot of activities. They have a gym, a salon, and a pool table. They have aerobics classes and movie nights.

Colonial Harbor was not cheap, but it was very nice. I'm kinda working on trying to get in there now. I have two friends over there and we took the tour. We had lunch and everything over there. I liked this place. Everybody I met was very nice. I've eaten there several times and I think they've had different chefs, so that's probably why there's a difference, but what I had was very good. You can travel to other places like down to Florida or something like that and you would be able to stay the...

We toured Colonial Harbor. It is great. From the moment you walked in the door, it was a very welcoming atmosphere from the residents to the staff. It was very clean. It smelled great in there. It was like walking into a five-star hotel, actually. The staff was very accommodating. She explained the services in detail. We actually spoke with the general manager. She took us on a tour. She talked about the different plans and left us with no question. It's no doubt that this would be a very approp...

I toured Colonial Harbor. What I like best was the environment; I thought the environment was nice. The manager who took me around was very informative and very friendly. I met the cook, and he was very friendly. He gave the place high standards because he had left at one time and then came back, and he just said he loved it. He spoke about how he interacted with the residents themselves and not just fed them. I just loved the place. The staff was very friendly. The place seemed to be accommodat...

Colonial Harbor was very nice. I wouldn't mind living there one bit. They were clean and everybody was pleasant. They had everything that you might need. They take trips and something is going on all the time. It's also in a nice environment with trees, benches, and so on. You have your own little kitchenette in your room, too.

Colonial Harbor was spacious. I like the way that it was open. The staff was great, very helpful, and answered all the questions. I like it better than the other facility. It was nice how their property backs up against woods, and the outdoor area is kind of nice. They have a kitchenette. The washers and dryers are in the hallway. Each wing had a room, and they offered cable TV.

My father has moved into Colonial Harbor. It was the place my dad felt the most comfortable of our visit. I like the friendly atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and helpful. He hasn't skipped a meal and he's always told me when he's going to eat, so he must like it. They have lots of activities. They have a salon, a workout room, a TV room, an activity room, a library, and a chapel.

The way that Colonial Harbor was laid out stood out to me. It's two floors but everybody on the second floor can hear and look down and see the activities. When we were there, there was a guy there singing with his guitar, and all the people were gathered around singing. And the people that weren't down there, some were standing around the railing, looking down. And the people that were there were just friendly. I like everything except the public bathrooms, not the people's bathrooms, they were...

My tour at Colonial Harbor went very well. I was shown the premises. They explained things about the apartment, financial needs, and the clients that were there. I felt comfortable walking around and talking to some of the clients. The staff members were very informative, caring, and interested in what I was looking at. They showed me a one-bedroom and a studio. They told me all the amenities that were included when you pay your rent and everything every month. They went over the recreation cale...

I toured Colonial Harbor two years ago, but they had invited me to come back and do another tour with them. I don't think I'm going to go because I think I know what they are about already. I liked the idea that they invited me to spend a weekend with them. The only thing I didn't like about their apartment was the 1-bedroom apartment. It was a reasonable size and I liked that. It was nice with nice closet space and all of that. But they don't have a stove in the kitchen. They had a kitchen, b...

I had an in-person tour of Colonial Harbor. It was good. All the staff members were good. When you walk into the place, it's gorgeous. The rooms were nice and spacious. Everything seemed very nice for someone independent. They had exercise and bingo. Activities seemed pretty nice. I didn't really meet that many staff, but I met the housekeeping staff. The dining area was gorgeous. Everything looked excellent to me just on a short tour.

My mother seems to like Colonial Harbor, and we also like it. They have limited activities because of the virus, but in normal times they have a nice activity program. They allow limited dining now downstairs, but most of the meals are served in their rooms. They have to keep social distancing. They have limited church services in the chapel, and the hair salon is still not open. They're pretty limited in what they can do right now. She seems to like the staff that she has interacted with, and s...

I loved Colonial Harbor. The food was good and the dining room was almost like a hotel. The rooms were nice and the people were great. It was a very nice facility. They had meals, transportation, several game rooms, a television room, a pool table, an exercise room, and a few places for socializing. Their activities change every day. The staff was great.

Colonial Harbor was great. The only drawback, which I discovered later is that it is independent living and not assisted living. My stepdad needs assistance. I love the place. It is fantastic. I love the size of the rooms. The staff is great, very caring and they're excited about where they work. The living atmosphere is very nice, too and I really like it. I was really excited about it until I found out that they didn't have assisted living. I have a friend whose parents are there, and her pare...

I visited Colonial Harbor, and it will be the one I'm going to move into. I saw one apartment that's ideal for what I want right now. They had a lot of activities, and what interested me was they go to the YMCA at least once a week. They had a library, billiard table, and chess tables. One problem was they allowed smoking in the Atrium, and as soon as I walked in, I could smell cigarette smoke.

I toured Colonial Harbor. I had dinner there. The food was good, and we enjoyed the meal. My daughter and my grandson went with me. They do three meals a day. The staff members were very nice and very helpful. They actually invited me to come back and take part in a couple of their activities. I took part in the art activities, which was painting that afternoon. I'm actually supposed to bring a painting that I made over there, and they're going to hang it up. It's not very far away from where I'...

When I walked into Colonial Harbor, the layout gave me a sense that it was grand. It was like going into an amazing cruise ship. As we were walking around, the people who were showing me around were actively engaged with the people, knew their names, and stopped to talk. The amenities were great, and the people looked happy. They were actively moving about and doing things. The apartments with their different layouts were great, very clean, and very nice. They have recently switched over to inst...

Colonial Harbor was great. They made us feel real comfortable. The rooms were nice, new, and had lots of storage. They have a lot of activities like craft days and a crochet club.

My girlfriend lives at Colonial Harbor. I love it; it is fantastic. I like the fact that I don't have to do anything. All I have to do is get up, and they take of care of everything -- weekend trips, three meals a day, and they clean the house up. They are nice, down-to-earth, and they make you feel so comfortable. I do not have any complaints at all. Every Friday, they go out of town on a weekend trip. They also have concerts once a week, bring in animals to pet, and the Girls and Boy Scouts co...

Colonial Harbor was smaller, and it was not a continuing care arrangement. It was independent living, so it was not going to work for us. We didn't dwell too long because we knew that it wasn't really what we were looking for, so we just took a quick look. It was nice, and the staff was very accommodating.

I'm living at Colonial Harbor. The atmosphere is very pleasant. They give us three meals a day and snack. We have lots of planned activities and usually at least two outings a month. We have lots and lots of activities here. We have a bus that is really old and it doesn't have a lift for wheelchairs or for people who can't climb. They need a new one. It is a nice pleasant atmosphere. Most people are really sweet. However, they need to improve on communication. We have activities scheduled up for...

My aunt’s been in Colonial Harbor since July 2014. The staff is pleasant and as nice as possible. I know that they bring in musical artists from outside. They have bingo activities and games. They have non-denominational -- maybe even denominational -- religious services that they do there for those who want to participate. They have a shuttle system that will take the seniors out if they have medical things to do or go shopping. So there are things to do out there for sure. The area is good. It...

When my mom started out with Colonial Harbor, they told her that she will go to a nursing home, but she improved so much so they said she could go to independent living and that's why she chose it and she is quite happy and comfortable with them. She ended up saving hundreds of dollars amount over an assisted care and she can save that money so that when she needs help she can pay for them. Her room is nice, it looks out in the woods. It's in a convenient location. They have live-in staff that i...
