Barnes Place

Barnes Place was my absolute favorite. It was beautiful, and the people were so helpful. The rooms were absolutely beautiful, even the small ones. The staff was wonderful. There was a worker named Carrie who called me at home because she had given me some names of other places to go. She’d call me and ask, “How are things going? How is your sister? Is everybody doing OK? Is there anything else I can help you with?” She was just wonderful. Everybody there was good and very pleasant. I was very impressed by them. I told them I want to go there.

Barnes Place would have been a very good choice. They were very personable and answered all of myquestions. The place was clean and neat. The rooms were studios. They had multiple rooms for activities that were very nice.

Barnes House has everything that we needed, the staff was extremely helpful, and it was also close to my relatives, so it ended up being a great spot for my mother to continue to improve. They have scheduled activities beginning after breakfast that go through the afternoon, and they are pretty consistent with other activities. They have book clubs, bingo, card playing, arts and crafts, and they also different denominational services. So they have a number of things that she can participate in. I like their dining area; it is very open. I think that they had provided a nice Thanksgiving dinner with the actual turkey, so that was something that was very much appreciated by the guests. She has an L-shaped room with a small kitchenette complete with a small refrigerator and a microwave, it has a bath that is equipped for people that need help holding on, and there is a decent-sized closet. I was able to get a bed, a reclining chair, a TV and TV stand, and a little dinette table in her room. So I think it is very comfortable, and although it isn't big, it is adequate for her needs.

Very caring staff. Director of facility excellent and took the time to take care of concerns and needs for my mother. My sister and I living out of state have the peace of mind knowing that our mother will be taken care of. Very clean facility. Well educated staff.
