I love living at Harbor Village . The views from the deck are absolutely amazing and make every day feel peaceful and relaxing. One of the best parts of living here is the wonderful shuttle staff. They are always friendly, helpful, and dependable, and they truly care about the residents. Their kindness and positive attitude make a big difference.

Harbor Village is a great place to live and truly feels like home. The food is excellent, with delicious meals and plenty of variety. The activities are fun, well organized, and keep everyone engaged and connected. They are currently doing a remodel, and it looks amazing”it has really refreshed the community and made it even more inviting. Overall, Harbor Village is a wonderful place to live with a warm atmosphere, great amenities, and exciting improvements.

When we were looking for a facility for my father in law we saw EVERY place in town. For the most part they were often very similar. What set apart HVSC was the people. Tatiana was our first contact and she made tge process very easy to manage. She came out to meet us and was so helpful in finding the right apartmemt lay out and location. She answered all of our questions (and we had many). She made a really tough time very smooth.

I am very sad to hear that Tatiana was dismissed from her position at Harbor Village. We first met her one year ago when we were living in St Augustine, Florida and planning to relocate home to Vermont. It was a challenging endeavor for two 80 year olds. I am a disabled veteran and dealing with such a monumental move was daunting. A call to HV resulted in meeting Tatiana. She was amazing! It was a late weekend evening when we first spoke with her. She spent almost two hours discussing details about Harbor Village. From that point on, we had her total commitment and attention to our numerous needs. She was continually working with us to make us feel at ease and facilitate all the details involved. She is already missed by so many residents! Many of those I have spoken with are at HV because of Tatiana’s unconditional caring and professionalism. She will be a valuable asset to whomever is lucky enough to hire her!

My mother and i really had a complete experience at Harbor Village. She entered as a fully functioning 99-year-old and unfortunately declined to her passing at the facility over a 10-month period. I must say she was extremely well taken care of at all stages. The staff and the administration took an individual interest in not only her as the resident but for the family and friends supporting her as well. Care plans were professionally adjusted for Mom's changing health and discussed and communicated in a timely fashion. The facility itself was safe and inviting and maintained at the highest level. Taking all of those factors into consideration, there is no replacement for compassion. It isn't taught it is just given and that was what we received throughout our experience at every level. I have a great sense of appreciation for the staff and the lasting effect they have had on my family!!!

My overall experience living at Harbor View has been an extremely positive one, for the most part, since I moved here from out of state a little over a year ago. I love my conveniently located apartment and the view I have; housekeeping does a great job keeping it clean, in addition to all the common areas on site; the maintenance crew is wonderful - friendly, personable, professional, always does a great job no matter what you need and is very quick with response time; the well-prepared food served in the dining room is extremely delicious and offers a good variety of meal choices; and the entire administrative staff is the best as they are all extremely personable, friendly and responsive and help make living here a real pleasure. I feel very safe here, love my apartment and all my neighbors, as well as I enjoy the varied activities and entertainment options that are offered and available to me if I should so choose to participate. Because of all of this, I would definitely recommend Harbor View to anyone who is in search of independent living housing. I do, however, have some concerns that are very troublesome to me enough so that I am keeping my mind open to considering looking at other senior living opportunities here in Burlington. There has been a 10% rent increase annually for the past three years with nothing to show for it that any of us residents can see!! If they do that again this year, especially with my Social Security and pensions not increasing enough to keep up with that high of an increase, I’m not so sure I’ll be able to withstand the squeeze financially. This would sadden me greatly as I had reassured my adult children that I regarded Harbor View to be my forever home when I moved in here! I know they just got approval to do some much needed face lifting here on the whole property (flooring, curtains and painting, etc.) which is great, but I was stunned to learn that it won’t include resurfacing all of our apartment balconies. Yes, they are perfectly safe to stand on, but the finish on all of them is deplorable and I’d bet that no one in upper management here would accept that for themselves if they lived here personally, especially when we were told before moving here that it was going to be addressed and resolved! Several residents have expended their own money and elbow grease by refinishing their own balcony or by laying Astro Turf down because it looks so unsightly and splintered. For what we pay for rent, it’s shameful. Another area of concern is the snow removal situation which is truly a safety issue. We are told a new snow removal company has been hired for next year, so that’s in a we’ll see status right now. It was deplorable this year and we were very fortunate that no one fell or got badly hurt because of it. A couple of nice to have’s are that I’d like to see are: more of the management staff (and corporate staff as well??) a bit more visible here in Harbor View. We sometimes feel like we’re the forgotten few over here. Also, it would be nice to see more offsite trip activities offeredsuch as day trips somewhere, or concert-type activities, or even overnight trips like to Niagara Falls. Just a thought! I’d also like to see the entire site door locks changed to key cards, but I know that’s asking a lot. Thank you for listening!!

I have lived in this community for 20 years, half in independent living and half in residential living. Individual kindness of many employees goes above and beyond, especially Tatiana and Ruth. The apartments are large and filled with natural light. I do feel that there could be more encouragement for residents to attend activities and more investigation into what kind of activities residents would like.

I have been here in the independent living building for six months. My first impression during my tour of the facility was how friendly and welcoming everyone I crossed paths with is and the cleanliness of the facility. The location is beautiful, and quite offering great walking areas-yet very close to shopping centers. The staff is supportive, accommodating, and go out of their way to take care of any issues. Many activities are planned regularly including various exercise programs, game nights, writers group, guest speakers, and more. My only concern is the rent increases yearly which are quite high for this area at 10%. Hopefully the rent will not be raised again this year as affordability is always an issue for senior citizens. Besides that, this is a wonderful facility and I feel blessed to be here.

The people who live here are friendly, supportive and welcoming. The staff is also friendly and go the extra mile for residents who have unusual requests or problems. I thoroughly enjoy living here and had no idea of the like minded people I would meet and the staff who support us.

I agree with the other comments that the staff are caring, but there has been considerable turnover in high-level positions since my mom moved in one year ago. Moving forward, I hope to see more activities and field trips for residents, and more stable staffing.

The staff in Harbor Village care about their residents. I have found them to be caring and responsive to our needs. My husband and I feel very safe and comfortable here. We do recommend Harbor Village for your next home.

My stay at Allen Harbor was truly a pleasure. After I retired from Occupational therapy a dozen years ago,I trained as a certified volunteer long term care Ombudsman in NYC where I was born and lived up until 2020 when my children thought it was time to move into senior care.(Two of my sons live here in Vermont which is why I moved to Vt. To be near them) Comparing Allen Harbor to the many other facilities I have served as Ombudsman in NY, I rate it 10 out of 10! I will miss it and the friendly caring staff.

We recently moved my father into Allen Harbor and I wish we had done it sooner! The staff is caring, upbeat and wonderful even dealing with COVID they have been calm and clear with expectations, keeping the residents safe. It was a hard decision to move our Dad into an assisted living arrangement, however I am happy that we choose Harbor Village and are comforted that he is being well cared for.
