My mother-in-law spent 10+ years at Icelandic Harbour, and I have to say, those were the ten happiest years in her life. Everyone treated her with care and respect. She is scheduled to move to a long term care facility due to her health. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the manager, Albert, and the entire team,for taking care of her during her stay at Icelandic Harbour, and would recommend this facility to everybody’s love ones.

My dad lived here for more than 5 years. He loves this place and we have very fond memories of this facility. The care aide staff are very nice and caring! They treated my dad as if he was their father. The administrator here has an open door policy. When I had to reach out to him needing assistance, he would step in and make sure my dad's needs are taken care of. We also love the recreational coordinator here. Overall, choosing this place for my dad (well it was a joint decision) was one of the best decisions I made for my dad. We will have many great memories to cherish....

I really appreciate how the administrator and all staff members work together as a team to look after my father while he was there. The facility Administrator sets high standard for staff to follow, which is evidently show on the care my father received. This place is sparkling clean, and all precautions to protect clients' safety are in placed. I highly recommend this facility to other families, who are looking for an assistant living facility for their loved ones.
