The Value of a Life Care Community
Independent Senior Living
At Harrogate, I Have a Full Life.
I have always had a busy life. Moving here 15 years ago, the pace did not slow down. I can do as little or as much as I want, surrounded by a family of friends and love. I always have things to look forward to here. And isn’t that what a full life is all about?
Joe Kamsar, Harrogate Resident since 2009
Here's what people are saying about Harrogate
Linda Durante2024-12-07 Our family is very happy with the care of our mom at Harrogates Health Center. Everyone has been wonderful and very attentive to my mom. From the independent living side to her needing rehab. Everyone has gone above and beyond. Ruth Neal2024-11-10 From my first visit to Harrogate every experience has been positive. Every staff member made me feel welcome . Special thanks to Paula and Emily for excellent help in realizing my lovely apartment. I've been here 5 days and it already feels like home. Karen Quartuccio2024-07-30 My mother has recently begun living at Harrogate. She and I have had many conversations about the kindness and care everyone working there displays towards the residents of the community. Jodie was more than helpful in finding an apartment that suited my mom’s needs. She went above and beyond taking every call from us to answer all questions and help us plan for my mom’s move. Emily was a fabulous help in orchestrating her move and setting her up with all amenities necessary for making a big transition much simpler than we thought it would be. She introduced my mom to many other residents who quickly became people my mother considers friends. Dana & Stephanie have been instrumental in helping my mom acclimate to her new home and get established with the medical clinic at Harrogate. My mom is overjoyed with the kindness, compassion and support she receives from all the staff of Harrogate. The staff she encounters daily including but not limited to dining, maintenance, housekeeping & activities have made Harrogate a comfortable, welcoming place that my mom already considers home. Diana Monroe2024-07-16 The level of care at Harrogate is top notch in all areas. We, the family, and my mom, know this from our experience with other care facilities. We genuinely believe that staff who work in long term care facilities wherever they are HAVE to care because of the stressful environment and job demands. This caring and commitment to patients and families was evident in both places. However, at Harrogate, the staff/client ratio and daily interactions with the same people and the smooth way they run day to day, and weekend care, created a team work environment between admin, nursing, physical therapy, personal care aides, food choices, the salon opportunities, and social activities. Everyone knew and did their job, and communication between all was amazing. They also let us know that it was possible to think about transitioning mom back home, with a wheel chair and live-in help. We didn't think she was ready after her January hip replacement procedure, but with the effective and frequent physical therapy, our mom was able to learn how to get out of bed and stand after 9 months. She also was walking with a walker about 10 steps, very weak and shaky confidence, but she did it and they kept encouraging her. Since bringing her home, she is now walking more and more everyday and is sooo happy to rejoin her "home"life. We know things are one day at a time, but if we ever need LTC, we will pray there is an opening at Harrogate. It is "home away from home" when necessary. A true family of caregivers with patients joining in during their stays. Thank you, Harrogate, for being such a wonderful PEOPLE! Judith Brown2024-06-23 Wonderful staff. Very accommodating. They really want you to feel comfortable. Melanie Deuerlein2024-06-16 Truly cannot say enough good things about the staff at Harrogate. Each and every person we met treated us with the utmost respect and compassion. My mother arrived at Harrogate in a weakened condition after an extended hospital stay. Little by slowly, she got stronger. With the help of physical & occupational therapists, she learned how to use her walker more effectively. She loved choosing her meals from a menu each day and was consistently spotted playing Bingo & Pokeno. She enjoyed the staff so much that she even joined the optional group exercise classes and often said that everyone at Harrogate was so kind. I cannot say enough good things about the care she received. Each person that we interacted with from admissions, social work, nursing, aides & activities treated my mother (and us) with unending professionalism and compassion. I would go out of my way to recommend Harrogate to family and friends. Mary Curtis2024-06-03 When I first arrived at Harrogate, I was in pretty sad shape. I had just had a fall in front of my house while gathering my mail from the box @ the curb. BAM! I went down on the sidewalk, smashing my elbow and fracturing my pelvis! After a 3 hour surgery in the hospital, I was transferred to a rehab facility to recover. My friends advised me that the rehabilitation center with the Best reputation in Ocean County was Harrogate! I had never heard about it before but trusted my friends, one of which was a nurse with lots of experience. The staff at Harrogate made my stay as easy as it could be. The physical therapists were patient when I couldn't even lift my right foot, and occupational therapists helped me use my right hand and arm again. It was a slow and grueling process. Many nights I felt hopeless. But there was always someone who knew how to cheer me up. There were activities and staff to keep me going and always plenty of hot meals served. P.T. had many tricks and games to keep us all involved in the endless process of training our bodies to work again. Week by week I found myself getting stronger and able to do things that I swore I'd never do again. I can walk with assistance and do quite a bit with my right hand and arm. Now, just nine weeks later, I am going home to my house to use all the skills I have learned from from the wonderful people who are Harrogate. MANY THANKS to the therapists, nurses & the personal aides, kitchen staff, those who kept it all sparkling, the amazing entertainment crew, the hardworking laundry ladies, and the excellent administration. pat rand2024-05-13 This is a wonderful facility. The staff and residents are happy, kind, and helpful. It was a pleasure to find this gem of a facility. The atmosphere is positive and the amenities are fantastic. It is very comforting to know that my sister is in a safe place and cared for so very much. She is happy that she came here to Harogate and I am happy that she is enjoying life to its fullest. Thank you to the Staff at Harogate. Stuart Schlesinger2024-04-23 The staff at Harrogate is the best I have ever experienced anywhere! My mom was in hospice and the kindness, compassion, and love we received is top notch. The administrators, nurses, aides, housekeeping, all the way to the dining staff. They made my mom and our family feel love and comfort in the final stage of my moms life. I can't thank them enough!
