Harmony house assisted living1/4/2024 ![]() The layout was very clean and very easy to navigate. I liked the way that they had it set up with areas where they could go and converge and meet up. They do that every month, and they give out this activity sheet, so there is something to do every single day.Harmony at Hope Mills was very nice. They have a little area where people can come in and entertain the residents. They do crafts every week, they have a small movie theater, and a huge game room that has any kind of game you'd want to play. They have an activity hall where they do all kinds of things, like the Easter eggs they had last week. They also have a bar that has pub food, and where they do holiday celebrations. She can go down and eat if she'd like, or they'll bring it up to her if she's not feeling well. She will get one meal a day or she can do more than that. They have a huge dining area that is open, airy, and comes with meal plans. They got a neutral palette, and it's completely handicap-accessible in all apartments. You just feel like there's a lot of space. The one-bedrooms have a cathedral feeling. Every apartment has a balcony, some are closed, some are open, but they all have lovely views of the woods. They have two-bedroom, one-bedroom, and studio sizes, and she selected the two-bedroom, so she can have stay-in guests in her office. We went there three separate times to look at the apartments, and the woman who was in charge of that was just fantastic. It's nice, open, and they did a lovely job designing and decorating the space. ![]() She just really felt comfortable during our visit. They have a salon, so she can have a place to go get her nails and hair done. They just had exactly what she needed in terms of space, activities, and physical therapy. It's independent living, but they also have a memory care center and assisted living, so if my mother needs more care, it's available to her. It's hard to do when you have a memory issue, but nevertheless. They offered activities, a movie theater, a pub, a beauty shop, bingo place, and other areas where they could involve themselves, maybe with people who have similar interests. It looked very clean, I didn't see any maintenance people, and I didn't see anything broken. She told us that she would get back to us with answers to certain questions, and she followed through with that. We only saw our tour person and didn't really talk to other staff, but she was very pleasant, informative, and personable. ![]() That is what was attractive to me and to my sister. The rooms in some of the other facilities that we've seen are bigger than those rooms, but my mother currently spends almost all of her time in her room, and that's why I say the common areas which expand her living space make it more pleasant, because you're interacting with other people. The thing I liked about the memory care is that the rooms were small, but we were assured that they would be spending a lot of time, and encourage them to spend a lot of time outside of their rooms in the common areas, and so that expands her living area and contact with other people. ![]() We looked at the memory care and assisted living at Harmony at Southridge for my mom. You think you're coming up to a resort when you first come up to it. They had elevators in the building for getting to the other floors. The floors that I saw were independent living. ![]() They had a memory area that was locked off, and they had assisted living on certain floors. They had places where you could meet with medical people. They had a good-sized barber beauty area for people. They had a large room where they had religious services every week. The tour that I got at that place lasted two hours and it was very impressive. They have very large oversized bathrooms with emergency cords at the commode, at the shower, and also by the bed. They have a full kitchen, so you could make a full meal in your kitchen. It's a multistory building and most of the places have balconies. They've only been there since 2020, so they're very new. They had independent living, and they had one and two-bedroom apartments with two baths in the two-bedroom and one bath in the single bedroom. Harmony at Southridge was out of my price range. ![]()
