HarborChase of Tamarac offers studio and one-bedroom apartments, some of which are private, and some are semi-private or set up like companion suites where people can share space, and all of them have walk-in closets and an emergency call system for safety, and pets are allowed under certain conditions so folks who have a cat or small dog can sometimes bring them along, plus there are enclosed courtyards and outdoor patios for enjoying the Florida sunshine. The community holds a state license for Extended Congregate Care (State License: 7191), so skilled nursing and hospice services are available when needed, and there's help with activities of daily living like bathing, dressing, and taking medicines, with staff on the property 24 hours a day and a secure environment, which matters a lot for people with Alzheimer's or other memory issues. Apartments are newly renovated, rooms are wired for cable and free high-speed WiFi, and there's laundry and linen service, dry cleaning, and housekeeping offered so residents don't have to worry about chores.
People who live here can eat restaurant-style meals in the dining room or have a guest join them during mealtimes, and there's a snack and beverage bar always open. The culinary programs emphasize nutritious options and international recipes, prepared by a professional culinary team, and there are all kinds of life enrichment activities, like cooking clubs, a gardening group, a resident musical group, arts and crafts, ceramics, bingo, game nights, story time, and even educational lectures and programs, along with on-site religious services and spiritual support. The recreation room and arts area are open for hobbies, and there are common areas with TVs, fireplaces, and comfy chairs for visiting friends or watching something together, so there are places to be alone and places to join in. There's an activities director who puts together things like current events talks, wellness programs, and outings, since scheduled transportation is provided for errands and doctor visits and also for offsite activities.
HarborChase runs both HarborChase of Tamarac Memory Care and HarborChase of Tamarac Assisted Living, with separate programs for those who need memory care through the Harbor Memory Care center, which helps people living with dementia or Alzheimer's through personalized plans and a focus on safety, comfort, and special activities that fit different interests and abilities. There's a Family Partnership program aimed at supporting families and an emphasis on creating a welcoming, home-like atmosphere with Spanish-Colonial revival architecture, lush gardens, and enclosed courtyards to help prevent wandering and confusion. The professional staff includes nurses and caregivers with specialized training, and personalized care plans are available so every person gets just what's needed, and the entry fee starts at $4,295. Other support includes medication management, physical therapy, financial advice, and VA benefits help, and there's also an on-site salon and barber for haircuts, a little convenience store, parking for guests, and a portal for residents to access information. Safety's supported by emergency response services and extra cleanliness measures, like the use of Viking Solutions' all-natural disinfecting system. The pricing structure is all-inclusive, and the whole community aims to meet the needs of seniors by offering assisted living, independent living, nursing and rehab, adult day care, home health care, senior services, and short-term respite care. The overall focus revolves around providing support and activities that help residents stay active, independent as much as possible, and engaged in daily life, whether they need just a little help or full memory care.
