Senior Lifestyle - Main

Close to current house - would be familiar with the area.

Facility looks great, good location, well staffed, clean, comfortable. Parking is difficult & limited. No semi private rooms avail. Had 2 tours of facility & was great & answered all questions.

Tour of facility was very good. the Director was extremely helpful and gave us insight on the disease mom has based on her father-in-law.

The director gave us a tour. My mom like the floor plan here better than the Breakers. She thought the apts. were larger and washer and dryer in the unit are a plus, free parking etc. She didn't like the long hallways. She thought the Breakers had more excitement and activities.

Excellent. Meet my needs. Apartments are spacious. The atmosphere was very homey. Individuals were warm. The service in the dining room was fantastic. The employees were warm and very attentative. The washer and dryer is a extra that is a must have. Parking being included is also a plus. Food was very good. There are social events but the events at the Breakers appears to be more appealing.

Newer facility so it is clean. Does not have a dementia specific unit. Residents are intergrated. How do I feel about that?

Nice, spacious units. Activities all on one level, but all on lowest level of building. Costs aren't bad, include a number of important things (no phone, electric or cable, however). Larger gardening area, as well as a hothouse (though a little small). Medicaid is accepted for nursing care only. Didn't offer much information about what happens should mom outlive savings. Contacted office for more information on this but have not heard back.

Very nice and comfortable living space. Nice garden area, though small at the moment. Activity room, chapel, game room, workout equipment, hair salon all available. Would be nice to see all of these on one floor but not a necessity. Got good cost information, as well as continuum of care info if need arises.

I was impressed with the different buildings and especially the concierge in the independent living buildings. Older building, but that's neither here nor there. They can manage with feeding tub.e

It is a palace.

Nice staff, unfortunately the rooms are too small.

Visit was not detailed, more informational. Hospitable and helpful information from Julie. This is high-end. $500 will reserve a place on the waiting list, which could take as long as 6 months to get in. In the tour, I did visit the 3 levels of care. The atmosphere, paint and decor were very pleasant. There was no unpleasant odor. Residents were engaged in a variety of activities.

Very nice place, restaurant like O Club. Patrons all seemed VERY active. Few showers with access & the step was a little high.

Nice place. great food, nice pool with whirl pool for 10 to 12 people all indoors, Seem a bit high but specials brought price down into the reasonable catagory

Looks nice

Very nice. Semi-private rooms looked nice. NO MEDICAID FOR DEMENTIA.

Mom like this most of all

I really loved this place. I stopped by unexpectedly and they took the time to talk to me and show me around. Very nice place and very nice people there. A few days later the Director stopped by to meet my mom. Definately considering Sterling House.

After our tour at Woodbourne Place, based on looks I would rate it 3 out of 5. Based on hospitality of the staff, I would rate it 4 out of 5. They were very welcoming, honest, and promised very good care. They had good follow-up with me afterward. However, it was too far away for our family. There were no open areas for families to visit - visits would have taken place in the resident's room. And ultimately it just didn't have all the warm fuzzies and beauty of the place we chose.

Barrington has beautiful apartments with a lively ambiance. we came across some good people here who were very friendly and helpful. especially the front desk staff and the activities director, they were extremely kindhearted. we did notice a big difference between the general staff and the nursing staff. the quality of their assisted living program did seem to be lacking. it wasn't so much the nurses themselves, but more so the management. we did have to remove my loved one because their was a lack of attentiveness and care management, we did not feel that we were working with a team. this was also a learning experience, as we may not have been fully aware of my loved ones state and needs. Barrington has a lot of great strengths, but their assisted living is a weakness. I can tell that this community is changing, and it doesn't take much to notice that there has not been a revamp in the assisted living side. Barrington would have been a great place for my loved one several years ago when she was more upbeat and independent. I would be hesitant to recommend this community to those in need of an advanced level of care; I would advise you to look elsewhere - just based off of our experience. this would be a great community for independent living and younger residents.
