The new year is a time for new beginnings, growth, change, and goals—both personal and professional. Maybe you feel like you’re in a rut from sitting at a desk day in and day out, maybe you’re tired of working with people who are too similar to you, or maybe you just don’t feel fulfilled and are longing to make an impact.

VERO BEACH, Florida - December 11, 2020 – Harbor Retirement Associates will make the COVID-19 vaccine available to associates and residents at all HarborChase communities. All residents will be eligible to receive the optional vaccine. All associates are strongly encouraged to receive the vaccine in an effort to continue to combat the spread of COVID-19.

Since the first reports of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) emerged in the United States, all HarborChase communities have taken special, proactive precautions to protect those in our communities from the virus and we continue to do so. Those measures are based upon the recommendation of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as other leading health organizations, and our own task force.

COVID-19 has created numerous changes to our society, including a whole new glossary of terms. In just a few short months, phrases like “flattening the curve,” “pandemic,” “social distancing,” and “quarantine” have become pillars in our everyday vocabulary. 

Harbor Retirement Associates is proud to announce Debbie McCourt, the new Executive Director at HarborChase of Stuart!

Originally posted by Environments for Aging - October 5, 2020. "With the increasing growth in Oklahoma City and surrounding neighborhoods, HarborChase of South Oklahoma City wanted to offer a luxury hospitality-enriched assisted living and memory care community to compete with the more dated options in the surrounding market. Opening in March [2020], the new 107,000-square-foot location features 112 units including 80 assisted living and 30 memory care with a mix of studio, one-, and two-bedroom floor plans.

Harbor Retirement Associates is extremely excited to be among the first communities to welcome guests after what seems to have been a very long and extended period of time. The safety of our residents who we serve, and our associates who help to create impeccable moments for them, will continue to be our first priority.

Technology has enhanced our lives in countless ways; we can order groceries from the comfort of our homes, watch movies anywhere, anytime, and stay connected with friends and family during a time of unprecedented distancing. Technology makes our lives more convenient, but it also has the ability to enrich our lives and, in some cases, improve our health. 

In the United States alone, more than 5 million people are living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. As the aging population grows, this number is expected to nearly triple by 2060. Because of this, the need for high-quality, effective memory care programs is crucial now more than ever.
