Four years ago, I moved my mother from western North Carolina to Wilmington, Delaware. I chose Harbor Chase because I wanted Mom to live just a few minutes from my home. I was attracted by the cleanliness and high-end decor, the natural sunlight throughout the building, and the friendly staff. Mom enjoyed her first year and a half in Assisted Living, and benefitted from the morning exercise class and the socialization at each of the three daily meals. The chefs at Harbor Chase served a wide variety of well prepared foods, and whenever I dined with Mom I commented on the high quality. My mother’s favorite days were Holiday Cookouts, when we dined outside, as well as occasions when live musicians entertained and she could participate in sing-alongs. Later, Mom moved into The Cove, the memory care wing, where there were fewer residents and a very predictable routine. For awhile she found the small group games and crafts engaging, and she always enjoyed her meals. When she needed less stimulation, Mom was given the option to sit in a quiet area near a fireplace. I believe the staff and nurses and caregivers at Harbor Chase cared for my mother and brought cheer into her last days.
