We liked The Village at St. Barnabas. We visited the whole place, but we were interested in the assisted living. Everything was so nice and neat. Everybody was so pleasant. They had lots of places where you could eat, and you didn't have to go to the dining area all of the time. You could eat in different areas. They had all kinds of places to go and walking areas. We had a very nice lunch there when we were visiting. They do had lots of good programs. However, they had homes, and I wanted an apartment.

Independent Living Reviews for The Village (St. Barnabas Health System)

My mom is a current resident for the last 6 years. We've found management to be unresponsive and disappointing. This place could be an A+ facility but sadly it is not. The fault lies in poor leadership at the top. Mid level managers have no freedom or creativity. Food is disappointing, maintenance is average, the touted amenities are not in good shape. This is not going to work for the next generation of retirees who will demand so much more. Today, our area experienced a 14 hour power outage in winter weather. The backup generator only provided emergency lighting. No warming area provided for the residents. Apartment windows all need to be replaced so the place cooled off very quickly. This is no way to treat our senior citizens. Very disappointed. Avoid this place for your loved one.

My mother has lived in the Village (independent living) for over 15 years now and we are very satisfied. The staff is caring and very helpful, the on-site facilities and transportation are very convenient, and it is clean and well-maintained. My mother has made many good friends over the years and she has enjoyed all the activities.

My mom was in the independent apt in Gibsonia. She fell and hit her head and went to the hospital. When she returned expecting to go to
her apt Kathy said she would have to go to their nursing home even through she was fine. They have a paid doctor on their staff that puts everyone in. They then
change for time left on the apt lease and the nursing home. Beware they are
real rip off artists.

St Barnabas doesn'the tell about how they have a doctor on staff that you can'take go back to your independent apt because you fell a few times and need to go into assisted living where they get a lot more money, you sign your rights away.
And if you want to go elsewhere they will collect however long you're lease is. So you are screwed as well as security for damage done to room. I am finding out they do this to lots of residents there.
Please check out their contracts. I hope no one has to go through what we have gone through.

There independent living building is all show. They don't tell you how horrible their food is in their pub and restraint is.
They never change their lunch menu it has been this for their last 3 years. They charge alot of money at the restraunt.
Every Sunday is the same food.

I liked The Village at St. Barnabas. There were various levels of everything, but I was focusing on the apartment there which looked very nice. There were various dining places, and they were all neat. I really enjoyed that there were a lot of selections. Everyone there was very friendly.

I visited St. Barnabas (The Village at St. Barnabas). One of the good things is they have all levels of care. Some of the buildings were very beautiful with nice apartments. The people that we spoke with were very generous with their time in showing us around. Their apartments in the newer building were very nice and big. The community seemed like it was very well maintained. The Village at St. Barnabas was very nice, but I don’t think they would have taken my dad. Downstairs, there were restaurants, a post office, bank, and a little shopping mall area, which was very nice for those who could still get around.

The Village at St. Barnabas was a very nice facility. Although during our visit, we didn’t see a lot of interaction of the people as there has been some sickness going around and a lot of the residents were only in their rooms. I saw the dining room and their room and it was very nice. The staff who toured us around showed us an area where they do some activities and crafts.

I have checked out The Village at St. Barnabas. They are economical and spotless. I can say that the girl who introduced me is very competent and very charming. They also have a fantastic swimming pool.

St. Barnabas was not quite as expensive on the entrance fee, unlike the other one we visited, but it was pretty close to the same monthly pay. It was beautiful except they had a lot of things that were like one big strip, but when you go in you could go to everything from the inside. The staff was very nice. The room, the waiting area and dining room were all beautiful and nice. We even had lunch there and it was delicious. After lunch, I saw an area where they could be outside and walk down the path. The residents were very active. We saw some of them making puzzles, they framed them and they were beautiful. The only thing I had against them was the price, but I would recommend them to others.

The Village at St Barnabas was very good, except that it was too expensive for us. It was laid out very well. The grounds are absolutely huge. The staff, as well as the food, was excellent. The apartments were excellent and VERY nice. They had everything you could possibly want. They even have a pool, fire places, and outside balcony. We watched some people do some activities in the area.

St. Barnabas Nursing Home is nice and huge. Their one building has four or five floors with lots of rooms; some of them are one-bedrooms and some of them are two-bedrooms, and they have apartment-type settings if you're able to cook. They probably have three or four dining rooms. Their basement is like a mall with a post office, jewelry store, snack shop, and coffee shop. They also have good therapy. They had a separate building for people who are there for rehab. I think you buy into it so you have to have money before you can even go there.

My mother is currently in skilled nursing at St. Barnabas, and she is number one on the waiting list for a bed in the memory care unit. I am not crazy about the skilled nursing, but she's got to stay there because of her Alzheimer's. Every move she makes has a traumatic effect on her. She fell and broke her hips, so she had to have a hip replacement and stay in the hospital for just 4 days, but it was unbelievable what it did to her. And then she sprained her back in the skilled nursing, so I brought her back to the skilled nursing in the same place where she was living. I didn't want to put her in a facility where she doesn't know anybody all over again, and that is why I did skilled nursing.
Their staff is very attentive and works with them regardless of what their needs are. My father was very bad towards the end before he passed, and they were actually great with him, very sympathetic, and they took care of him.

My father was there as part of an in-patient rehab program. Stay away at all costs. The building is crumbling (I have photos), the food is non-edible and I have to question the nutritional value of it. The staff can be mean and impatient and can take a very long time to respond to calls for assistance (greater than 30 minutes at least once). All together, staying at home and going without care is a better option which my father tells me over and over again (he's still upset). To top matters off they had me sign papers they said had nothing to do with financial responsibility and now they are sending attorneys after me for debt that I did not accrue. Stay away at all costs!!!
