I placed my mom in Harbor Towers because of its home like environment. The staff and caretakers went above and beyond to care for and love my mom. Gathering together for activities, meals, music, outside trips, and much more enrichment my mom's life. As my mom's memory failed Katie and her staff worked closely with me to ensure her safety and helped me transition my mom to a perfect memory care center. I love Harbor Towers and appreciate everything they did to create a home for my mom while she was there. Thank you for your compassionate care of my mom and the many loved ones in need of assisted living.

My mom lived at Harbor Tower Village in Oak Harbor for 13 years. She loved living there and loved that all of the staff treated her like a family member. She was living there when the Covid pandemic happened and there are no words for the gratitude I feel for how the staff handled the crisis. I live in California and I never had a moment of worry even though I couldn’t see my mom for over a year. As mom’s health declined, Harbor Tower increased her level of care and was there until the end of her life. I highly recommend Harbor Tower Village. The staff, especially the director Katie Jones, will love and care for your family member as if they are their own. The caregiver staff are patient and really take care. I will forever be grateful and happy that my mom lived at Harbor Tower Village in Oak Harbor.
