However, a very popular feature at Harmony is membership in our dining club at the full-service restaurant on-site. For times when they don’t feel like cooking, or when they want to socialize with family or friends, residents can eat in a real restaurant with a changing variety of menu items. New residents are warmly embraced by a close-knit community of seniors who relish movie nights, watching Oilers games, outings, and shared meals together.

“At every retirement community I visited, the people doing the tours advised me of what they could offer while they tried to sell the place. But when I contacted Harmony, the first question from Alex was not about what he could offer me, but rather what mattered most to me. He asked, ‘What is important to you?’ It was suddenly about me and my needs during this major transition in my life. That was important,” says Wendy, who recently moved into Harmony.

Whether it's a modern apartment, optional convenient services, a vibrant calendar of activities and events, or homecare needs, independen­t seniors can discover precisely what's meaningful to them at Harmony at Rutherford.
