Overview of Harmony at Harbour View

Harmony at Harbour View offers independent living, assisted living, and memory care in Suffolk, VA. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, medication, and other daily tasks. Secured memory care provides supervision for someone who may wander.

All three care levels are available in one community. That can suit a resident whose needs grow over time, because moving between levels does not require leaving the community. Respite care supports short stays when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 110 beds and offers studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom housing. A resident can choose a single private space, or someone moving with a companion can choose a larger layout. Cristy Hansen serves as the administrator, and pets are allowed.

Residents can spend time in the movie theater, bistro, library, or game room, and use the walking path on the grounds. On site physical and occupational therapy allows rehabilitation without arranging transportation, while transportation to routine health appointments provides rides for those visits. A Walk Score of 48 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk.
