Review for The Gardens at Barry Road

Overall experience since May 2026 I would give them a 5. Activities are great both in house and trips in the van. The community has just been updated with painting, lighting, flooring and it looks very nice. The nurse in charge has been very helpful with reports I requested to see how my mom's daily BP, medicines, etc were doing. We had an issue with mainly morning help for mom, just recently, and we sat down with the nurse to hear our side. I feel it has helped and we shouldn't have to worry about things like that…

When we toured this place, we were very impressed with everything about it. It was clean, friendly, spacious. Everything I think my parents would love.

My parent has blossomed at the gardens.

The amount of activities is wonderful and everyone is genuinely friendly. On the negative, my mother has frequent bladder infections and they were slow to believe her and get a sample tested.

The representative showed us around and went over everything and was very helpful and friendly. The facility was clean and decorated nicely. Residents were playing games and waiting for an activity to begin. It is a very nice place.

Worth considering

It is a nice facility and relatively affordable. Communication is my biggest hurdle as I am out of state. I do not receive timely responses to emails.

I was pleased with the people that helped me see and understand their facilities and how they worked with the people in residence there. I have one or two more facilities to check out and I then plan to meet with my attorney on the [date removed] to make sure I am doing everything I should be doing. I will update you after I meet with the attorney.
