My mother is at The Garlands in Barrington, and the move went fine. The staff is very good. She can get up at 8 o'clock in the morning if she wants to, and she can sleep until noon. Her room is very large, and it is very nice. The food is fine, and there is a sufficient variety. The dining area is fine. It is quite large for 20 residents. They play card games and watch movies. They also have hand massages, and they go on short trips. They have several different kinds of activities during the day. It is very clean.

The Garlands is a beautiful facility. It’s like a club. Some have two bedrooms with big rooms in the assisted living. They have good food there. The vegetables are good, and the rest are good too. In the independent living, they have a restaurant they go to. They were able to go out to movies and sometimes they have programs. The place is secure.

My husband and I were looking for a retirement community setting that was beautiful both inside and out. When we drove into The Garlands of Barrington's Campus, with its lovely gardens and architectural beauty and after a tour of the inside admiring the Frank Lloyd Wright design, we both looked at each other and said, "We could live here." The first and foremost thing we love about Garlands is the highly talented and skilled staff that consistently meet our needs and the friendly and interesting people who come from all over the US that we live with on a daily basis. A unique feature of the Garlands is the four smaller more intimate restaurants. The grill is our favorite. Chef Nick is very creative and serves high quality, gourmet meals. One of our restaurants is open to the community and it is nice to see business people and families coming and going. We have heard people say, "We wish we would have moved to The Garlands sooner!" We are glad we did.

My grandparents thoroughly enjoy the neighborhood & community feel that "The Garlands " has to offer. They take delight in the excellent cuisine in both fine dining and casual atmospheres. They love attending the special events, especially those with music and art. Also, my grandpa has reignited his passion for fitness by vising the gym on a regular basis. Our extended family loves visiting during the holidays for the community meals and music events. I am so happy my grandparents have found a place to call home as they enjoy their retirement.

We have been very pleased with the grounds, staff, and care provided. We looked at several different places for my grandmother and noticed a few things about the Garlands. What we especially liked was the size of the 1 bedroom apartment residence for my grandmother. We also appreciated the maid service and social activities. We were worried that, after my grandfather died, my grandmother would become socially withdrawn. The staff has been good about encouraging her to become involved. The one issue I have with The Garlands is the cost. The cost is much higher than other area retirement facilities but the quality s much better.
