The Gardens at Barry Road was very nice and I liked how airy it was. It was quite clean and it smelled good. It looked like it was run very well. The apartment looked nice and clean. It had a mini fridge and a little sink. It had a large closet and it was quite a nice space for one person. The staff who toured me around was very good. She's young and intelligent. I think she's an LPN and she enjoys her job, and she comes off very caring and sincere. We walked through the courtyard from one part of the building to the next just because it was quicker to cut back to where we wanted to be, and they were nice and clean.

My mom has moved into The Gardens at Barry Road. They are so friendly. They're wonderful. You would think they're family. The atmosphere is wonderful, and there is a camera in her room. They have several activities. They have a calendar, and it has different things for every day. The food looks good and smells good. They have a beauty salon, they have exercise, and I've seen people in PT. My mom has been into others, and I'm pleased with them. so far. Even when we were moving her things in, it was like everybody wanted to help. From what I've seen, their activities are very nice, but my mom can't participate.

My wife's second cousin has moved into The Gardens at Barry Road. He seems to be very happy there. The physical appearance and ambiance are both very good. Lisa is the staff that meets you, greets you, takes you around, and shows you the place, and she's very, very caring and very patient with my relative. Everything seems to be very good in his room. It has an outer door that opens onto a courtyard. That's something he's looking forward to in the summertime when the weather gets warmer. It's very nice. Big bathroom. Big closet. They have a calendar of activities, and something is going on every day. They have a small chapel there for services. My relative likes the food, and the food is very good. In terms of value for the money, it's good as any out there. We have looked at a lot of places before we chose this one, and they were all about the same price.

My mom will be moving into The Gardens at Barry Road today. It is a great place. The apartments are very nice, very spacious, and they have everything we need. The common areas look very nice. They have a salon, a library, and laundry facilities. They have activities, like exercises. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The place is extremely clean. I noticed when we walked into the room, they had done a deep clean in our room. It smelled wonderful.

My mom will be moving in a couple of weeks to The Gardens at Barry Road. We chose it because it's convenient, and the residents were all very happy. They had a very easy layout, and it was very clean. The staff was excellent. Mom will be in a studio room. The meals were included. The activities, health check-ups, and transportation were also included. I tried the food and it was very good. Some things just need some painting.

We chose The Gardens at Barry Road for Mom because they had Medicaid rooms and because of the price. It was clean and well kept up, and it was a nice looking facility. She will be in assisted living. The floor plan was nice. The hallways were really nice and a little bit bigger than normal. It looked like she would love the amenities there. The staff was very pleasant and the activities director was really positive, and energetic, and you kind of need someone like that in that position. The individual that showed us around was really pleasant and very cooperative, and showed us what we needed to see. Their Medicaid rooms were nicer than the other facilities. The price was very good considering what they had.

I went to The Gardens at Barry Road. It was clean and it did not smell. The room was clean and organized. I observed activities. The residents were sitting and eating, they were sitting and watching TV, and they were getting their meds. The staff who helped us were nice and professional. They answered our questions.

We left The Gardens at Barry Road because of poor food and poor care. My mom was in memory care and she wouldn't eat and was starving to death. Then she got in poor health, because they wouldn't take care of her. She was left soiled and she wasn't taken care of. We left there in a very big hurry because it got bad real quick. That was two and a half years ago. The facility itself was fairly clean and kept up, but it was also outdated.
