I’m not a resident, but have visited frequently and have enjoyed events available by invitation. Harbor Chase is community oriented, adding a lot to the Mandarin area experience. The apartments are lovely, and the atmosphere in the building is wonderful. The meals are served in first class surroundings, and are delicious. Everything about the building, actually, is as inviting as a resort, including a movie theater and putting green. The staff is welcoming and caring, which makes it a home, not an impersonal apartment building. When my time comes, I hope there will be an apartment available!

Harborchase of Mandarin is a lovely place for all Seniors; Independent, Assisted and Memory Care residents all alike! The environment is beautiful and well kept. The residents are lovely and interact with each other in a friendly way. The food is delicious and the staff genuinely cares about the well being of the residents!

Enjoyed a pumpkin cooking demonstration this afternoon. Pumpkin bisque, pumpkin salad with quinoa and vinegrette and pumpkin mousse. Each was better than the one before! Plus, we got some to take home & the presentation was beautiful.

My mother is a fairly new resident at HarborChase Mandarin and so far we have been very pleased. Our experience with the transition to assisted living was made a lot easier because of the warmth and gracious attention of the staff. Mother is still getting used to things and doesn't always love every meal selection (who does?) but we are comfortable that we made a good choice.

We attended the Chef's program on the Chicken and Corn Chowder. The presentation was excellent, the food was wonderful, and it was great to receive the bag with all of the ingredients already prepared. We went home and immediately prepared this for our dinner. Please do more of these programs and do them more often. The director of sales does an excellent job with this program.

First of all I was impressed by the theater and the seating arrangements. I attended the cooking demonstration event on 1/16/2020. The Chef explained the various kinds of cooking styles and was well-versed in his knowledge of culinary. His resume was impressive. He explained that by preparing the food in stages it enhances the taste of the dish. While visiting the community, I also attended the happy hour at their bar. I found the residents to be friendly and the service to be gracious. I like the Bistro arrangement and how the service is provided by the wait staff. They were kind and attentive to the residents and addressed them individually by name as Mr....and or Ms.....
