Sheila Thompson
Harmony River is the best decision we have made for our mother and her care. The staff has been incredibly helpful and supportive for both my mom and our family during this transition period. They have done an exceptional job at communicating with updates. The staff is always smiling and up beat, it is evident they have a passion for what they do. The facility is very clean and welcoming. I love the coffee shop as you enter the building, how inviting. I am so glad that there are so many services available right on site so we don't have to worry about picking up our loved ones for hair appointments, church and even Doctor appointments. This is extremely helpful being we live out of town. I would like to give an extra shout out to Pam & Sara for taking the time to listen and provide their expertise during this very challenging time. Keep up the good work! You are very appreciated. Sheila Thompson and Family

Understaffed and the staff they have are overworked and under paid. As a result care is not up to par. Management is not helpful.
