Not a Good place for Mom
My sister lives at Colonial Harbor. It’s awful and doesn’t give her the benefits she is paying for. 1. Pays for own Wi-Fi since what’s offered is not strong enough to get to her apartment. 2. Food used to be good. Now it’s awful. Baked potatoes and cottage cheese is worth the price that is charged in rent. 3. No transportation. Been in repair shop most of this year. 4. Can’t find a activities director that will stay. No weekly activity sheet. Has a nice tv room but no one uses it. 5. Very small budget for activities. 6. Apartment was not properly refurbished before move in. Even the toilet paper holder is not level. I could go on but I’ll run out of space

Colonial Harbor is Senior Living Excellence
Colonial Harbor is now home for my elderly father and he loves it! The atmosphere is alway cheerful with friendly staff and residents. His desire to be in a community of family and friends has been accomplished and he is thriving in that environment. We, the family, know that we made the right decision when moving him closer to us from his longtime home 300 miles away. What a relief to know that he is in the perfect independent senior living facility. He is in a lovely one bedroom apartment with access to a variety of activities, three delicious meals a day, weekly housekeeping, and an amazing, caring staff!

Blindsided by 50% price increase with no warning
After my mother had been at Colonial Harbor just short of a year (11 months), she was notified that her rent was being increased by over $1,000 a month. This means we will likely have to be moving her somewhere, and I have no idea where, by the end of this year. I am trying to find out more information on a grant program that may be available to her but there is a fine line between Assisted Living and Independent Living as far as the grant is concerned. People should be advised to check how often rent increases happen and by what percentage - I was blindsided.

Sales Experience
[name removed] handled the conversations with my mother-in-law and me very well. He could tell I was sincerely motivated to help her and she could see the benefits of coming to live at Colonial Harbor. She was a bit obstinate about moving, but we were able to let her become familiar with the apartment. At lunch I was impressed that so many residents were smiling and many made an effort to come by and say hello and encourage her to join the community. She has been pretty isolated the last three years with the pandemic, so joining an existing community that is both safe and welcoming will be really good for her. My compliments to the team and community and I am looking forward to [name removed] having a better life the next few years.

It seemed to me that there were less public gathering spaces here than at other places we toured. The choices in food were not as varied. The outdoor spaces not very attractive. And it was a poor location within the general area.

One of the best value for what your pay in the Hampton Roads area
It is a great place to be. There is not a nurse or medical staff on hand. This is a great value for what you pay in the area. There was an issue with water bugs that I addressed with the administration and they tried to fix it for my loved ones quickly. The food I have tasted was good. Karaoke, bingo, poker, horse derby, singing, team building activities, and more are available for the residents to choose from.

Family experience
The meal service was available all the time, and it was always delivered in a timely fashion so that would be a five out of five. However, our loved ones who are there say the quality of the food was not all that great, it was not appetizing or palatable. Under the circumstances the activities were limited, but they still tried to do as much as they could while social distancing. It is expensive, but when your in a retirement community where everything is all inclusive, the value is worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Colonial Harbor

Colonial Harbor offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Colonial Harbor 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
