The Garlands of Barrington

A caring community with knowledgeable and kind staff

They have been phenomenal. If we could give the friendliness of the staff a 10 we would. Like, seriously, the people are so nice, friendly, kind and patient.

I like everything about The Garlands of Barrington, don't know what I didn't like about it. They're beautiful and very upscale. The staff who assisted us there was wonderful. The food was great, we had lunch there. The rooms look like they are well-made and well-maintained. Overall, the place was clean and nice.

The Garlands is an attractive facility with many desirable ammenities. However, my wife and I did not feel the warmth we have encountered at other facilities. we are an active couple and were troubled by the apparent underutilization of the pool and exercise rooms. The Garlands in not the type of senior living community for which we are looking.

The Garlands of Barrington is very nice, but for my husband and I, the entrance fee is very high. The food is absolutely wonderful. We also saw an apartment that was on the first floor that has a patio. I like this a lot because I'd like to put flowers out there. I really think that The Garlands of Barrington is a Cadillac or Rolls Royce of retirement living. There are plenty of activities. It's really a wonderful place.

Things are going well!

My mother seems to be doing very well since her move to The Garlands. At first, it was a bit tough on her, but she is slowly adjusting and enjoying the place. The staff has been great, they are more than happy to bend over backward for her. The place is clean and they have great activities.

The Garlands had a lot of activities, a craft room, swimming pool, regular exercise, and a van that took you to doctors' appointments and shopping. It was in a very busy area, so that if you are independently driving, you could get to a lot of places easily, although there was a lot of traffic. Some of the rooms we saw were big, nice, and well maintained.
