Barton Senior had very small rooms. There were activities, like bingo and crafts, but people were just reading in the lobby. It was clean and orderly. The staff was pleasant.

Barton Senior Residences building is clean, and there is no smell, but they only have single units which is basically a very small bedroom and a bathroom. You have to be able to go downstairs to grab your meals. My mother is not really that mobile right now, and that would be a problem. There are a lot of floors, and it just would be impossible for her. It has a very small living space, and my mother and my brother would have to live apart from each other. It wouldn't really work out because they want to be in the same unit.

My dad is in Barton and the staff is excellent. They are very caring. They know his name and they are always checking up on him. He really likes being there. They have activities like bingo, movie night, ice cream night, donuts, and they have several games. It is nice, and I liked it. He likes it there, and it makes me happy. It is very fancy, well kept, clean, and very modern. They have a big dining room and a private dining room. They make sure that he is taken care of. He is on dialysis, and they give as much help as they can give him. I see that they really care for the people.

Barton of Zion is the home of my mother for over a year now and she has THRIVED! It is a wonderful place. My mother is so very happy. She has come out of her shell with the help of a friendly and CARING staff! My family could not be more satisfied with the care that Barton of Zion has provided for our wonderful mother! No wonder that Barton has won Daily Herald's reader choice award as Lake Counties BEST Assisted living facility for FIVE YEARS IN A ROW!! Thank you!!

Could be the best thing that happened to our family. Our father insisted on living alone after mom passed even though he needed daily help. He was bad about remembering to take his medications and ate poorly. We were at a loss what to do. He was getting depressed just staying at home and his health was getting worse. We finally convinced him to try an assisted living facility. The first one he tried was a horrible experience. Staff was very non-attentive and dad was very uncomfortable. Then a friend told me about Barton Senior Residences of Zion. Her mom was there and was very happy. I brought my dad there and from the moment we walked in, we knew this was the place for him. He loved the atmosphere and the people he saw. He moved in the next day and within a week my dad was back to his old fun loving self. He became very social with the other tenants that he had met in the dining room and in some of the daily events that they have. His health is significantly better and they are helping him when needed. I can not believe how they look after him and treat him like he is part of their family. There are even times when I call him to go to lunch and he asks if we could find another day because he is busy that day. That made me so happy that my dad is enjoying himself and it has taken a real stress off of me and my family. I can not thank the people at Barton enough for the joy they have brought my family..

My mother wanted initially to be in Barton Senior Residences mainly because it was affordable. She moved in first week of September. She liked this facility then, but now that she has been there for awhile, she's not really happy with it. They're supposed to be doing everything for her. It turns out that they aren't able to keep up with their end of the deal. They are not taking care of my mother. Like she's got oozing on her legs because she has diabetes and they failed to help her with that. When she was by herself, she couldn't get them wrapped and so she was oozing all over the floor. It was a big mess. They told her that they would take care of her because they have an MD on site. Instead, they don't keep an eye on her, they left her legs unwrapped, etc. My mother didn't have dinner for two days because they weren't helping her go down to have her dinner. It is just a horrible place.
