The Barclay at Charlottesville

Rich048

My friend is moving into The Barclay at Charlottesville. I went there and I liked it. My friend liked it too. The people who were there seemed to be able to accommodate all his needs. It fell in very perfectly. What I like is just the place felt very well attended, very clean, very lush, and very high-end. When you walk in, you feel like you're in a five-star hotel. His room has nice floors and window trim. It felt like it was high-class. When I looked at the menu and tried to get a sense of the quality of their food, I said, "I would come here and eat with my friend." A lot of other places, I don't know if I would feel the same way. I didn't try anything, but I just saw other people have it. My friend could go to their bistro bar or something, so that was great. He could get a turkey sandwich or a grilled cheese whenever he wanted. If he was hungry, he could get snack bars, protein bars, and stuff like that. They offer three meals a day, and there are plenty of choices. It was on a pre-printed high-end menu where you could actually see pictures of the food. I know that's not always the same as the food itself, but it seems like this place wasn't messing around with the food.

I toured. The apartment's pretty small. They serve two meals a day. They have lounges. It's a sort of typical higher-end retirement place. They have a courtyard and common spaces. They have a cafe-type and a bar-type area, which I think you can use if you want to have a get-together. They have an activity room. They had a saltwater heated pool and a movie theater room. They have a fair number of amenities.

It was the one we liked the most out of all the places we toured for my dad. It felt open, airy, clean, and fresh. The staff who assisted us was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was located near a Target store.

Dad moved and it's been a good experience. It's only been 4 days since he's there, but the nurses put a lot of care into it. The facility is very clean and very modern. He's only had two meals so far, but he said it's good. There's a good amount of activities that he could do, too.

I did a tour. The amenities were amazing, and the decor was above and beyond. I liked everything about it. The staff were nice; they did well at listening and understanding why I was there. They were great. They have a nightly happy hour, and a breakfast bar, like the cafe where they can come and get whatever they like. One of the main amenities that would interest me was the housekeeping once a week, because I feel like my godmother needs that. Their staff were very knowledgeable. I didn't have a meal there, but the menu looked great.

We had a very good experience visiting. It's got a nice layout. It's very inviting, very clean, and very new. The staff was very warm, friendly, and helpful. I liked the fact that the lady answered my questions honestly.
