I was very disappointed with the security service. My wife was trying to get into work around 5:00 AM, but the security guard was asleep and never answered the door. As a result, she was late for work through no fault of her own.<br><br>A security guard’s primary responsibility is to remain alert and provide access when needed. If employees cannot get into the building because the guard is sleeping, then the security service is not doing its job. I hope this is addressed so it doesn’t happen to anyone else.

Harwood Place is the best independent living/assisted living facility! My mom has made such great relationships here, and the staff a part of health & wellness take great care of her. Client relations made her transition here so smooth and seamless. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

I was welcomed in by Irina and Mel for a wonderful lunch and tour. I learned so much about the facility, the services, and amenities that all of the residents have access to at Harwood Place. The inside is kept just as beautiful as the outside grounds, which have many gorgeous trees and gardens. There are tons activities and opportunities for seniors to connect with others all while being part of a loving community. Everyone feels like family there. As a home health agency owner, I highly recommend seniors tour Harwood Place Senior Living to see and feel how warm and welcoming everyone truly is!
