Keelson Harbour sits on a quiet hill at the end of a cul-de-sac, giving residents easy access to nearby lakes and nature, and sometimes there's even a pond with ducklings and their families out front. The community offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care, so there are options whether someone needs a little help with daily routines or more specific support for memory impairments. Staff are pleasant, compassionate, and available at all hours, although there are times they may be a bit short-staffed, but they remain dedicated to care and resident well-being. The apartments feel homey, come with private bathrooms, air conditioning, cable TV, and full-sized kitchenettes, so residents can still invite friends and family to share a meal or visit. Pets like cats and dogs are welcome, which brings extra joy for those who love animals. Inside, things are kept clean, the building is comfortable, and common areas fill with sun and offer space to relax or socialize. Safety is a focus, with an emergency response system, security for entrances and exits, grab bars, and extra supports in living spaces. The restaurant-style dining hall uses fresh ingredients, with meals made by skilled chefs in partnership with US Foods, so folks get tasty, made-to-order options daily. Life at Keelson Harbour includes a wide range of activities-board games, movie nights, dance classes, crafts, trips into town-and there are community rooms for music, bridge, and other gatherings. Residents enjoy wellness activities, like balance and mobility sessions, and can walk along outdoor trails or spend time in nature. Assisted living supports routines like taking medications, getting dressed, personal hygiene, and moving around, while memory care offers specialized attention for those who need it. Respite care gives temporary caregiving, which helps families needing a short-term break. Whirlpool baths are available twice a week for assisted living residents. Whether someone comes for permanent living or just for a short stay, Keelson Harbour does what it can to give seniors a safe, pleasant, and active environment. The facility stays connected to the local community, with involvement in events like Halloween and Pioneer Days, is linked to the Milford Commercial Club, and participates in local committees, offering a sense of belonging for residents who enjoy staying engaged outside the home. There's even a time capsule and some merchandise if someone's interested in community memorabilia.

Clean, active community; large layout
I toured this community for my mom and was impressed by the very clean, updated, resort-like feel, caring staff, bright apartments and abundant activities (cards, crafts, pool tables, theater, salon, coffee nook, shuttle and on-site shop). Memory care felt secure and active and communication/care planning was generally good, but the facility is large and a confusing layout that might overwhelm someone who needs a smaller, more homey setting; meals and staffing quality can also vary. Overall I'd recommend it for an active, well-maintained community - just visit in person and ask specific questions about staffing, safety incidents and billing before deciding.
