The Harmony Collection at Hanover Independent and Assisted Living in Mechanicsville, VA

My loved one was previously a resident at The Harmony at Hanover. Improvement with housekeeping was needed, due to staff turnover. The meals were mediocre. The monthly rent fee increase was ridiculous! I would only recommend The Harmony at Hanover if they improved the issues mentioned above.
