Village Concepts of Oak Harbor - Harbor Tower Village sits in a calm spot with views and a friendly, family feel, and walking around the place, you'll see they have nice wide paths and gardens, and folks like to stop and talk or sit for a bit under a tree, and there are benches if your legs get tired or you just want to watch who's coming and going. Residents stay in well-kept, furnished rooms with phones, emergency alert systems, and you get your laundry and housekeeping done for you, which is a relief for many, and the place is wheelchair accessible with plenty of space to get around. There's a dining room with all-day, restaurant-style meals, and the menu changes up, making sure there's something for everyone, even folks with special diets, and the chefs take pride in serving hot, healthy food three times a day, while the group always seems to look forward to movie nights or the Thursday morning coffee and breakfast for veterans and active duty sailors, giving people a chance to swap stories and enjoy some company.
Harbor Tower Village offers several types of care like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Senior Cottages for more privacy, and Short-term Stays if you're just looking for a temporary place to recover or your family's out of town, and the staff gets to know each resident's needs, making sure medication is managed and help is given with bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and moving around, so you don't feel rushed but are well supported. The building has full-time security and an emergency response system, and there's a wellness center, salon/barber services, planned exercise classes, and even art rooms for painting or crafts when you're in the mood, along with scheduled group transportation for people who need to go to appointments or want to join community trips like whale watching or visiting the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival, which gets a lot of smiles and stories afterwards. Community-sponsored and resident-run activities keep most people busy if they want, and there's also time to rest and enjoy the hospitality suites or just sit in the common areas, which were recently fixed up to be bright and homey with comfortable chairs and easy access for everyone. With only 27 licensed beds, the place feels smaller, so people get to know each other, and staff make the days feel less like a facility and more like living in a safe neighborhood where you can be yourself, whether you're dealing with mild memory concerns or just need a helping hand as you age, and if you need more advanced dementia care, they have a special waiver for that. The community offers a range of services for different needs, including help with everyday tasks, health care as needed, and keeping everyone engaged so no one feels left out. Parking's available for those who drive, and group transportation helps with getting out, so you won't feel stuck. Harbor Tower Village tries to make each day comfortable and safe, and folks have options so routines can adjust as needs change over time.
