Overview of Village at the Harbor

Village at the Harbor offers assisted living and independent living in Friday Harbor, WA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space; independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care. Having both care levels may make Village at the Harbor a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time without requiring a move to another community.

Village at the Harbor opened in 2008 and has 36 beds. The smaller size may suit someone who prefers a more intimate community. Tina Smith serves as the director.

A Walk Score of 72 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot. Shops, a pharmacy, or cafes are within a short walk, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.

Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. The dining program includes gourmet meals, giving residents prepared meals within the community. Rehabilitation services are available, and wheelchair accessibility supports residents who use wheelchairs in navigating the community.
