I went to Harborview Senior Living. The staff was very accommodating. They were very kind, patient, and well-informed about the facility. They were forthcoming about the limitations like what things are provided and what things can't be provided given the limitations of manpower and space. I was shown the accommodations. I was shown the price list. I was informed that some residents do receive Medicaid, but at that point, their accommodations become somewhat more limited. I was shown all the common areas. I was shown where people eat. I was allowed to speak to the residents. Nothing was withheld. I was shown all levels of the facility and I was shown essentially how the people live there day to day, and I was very gratified by that. The woman that I met was very, very kind. They were very honest and very forthcoming. The landscaping itself could use a bit of attention, but nothing very bad, and that can be corrected. It wasn't unsanitary, but just a little bit unkempt outside. They have a nurse on staff. They also have a doctor that is affiliated with the facility, and he is on call. They have a recreation room, a room where the people can read, a library, and an observatory outside. There's a deck where the residents can sit and lounge on the outside. They have a very nice view of the harbor. It's air-conditioned, and it's very safe. It doesn't seem like it's crowded or there's a lack of space or facilities. I think all the residents are engaged during the day, and they seem content and even happy from what I can see.
