residents and the personal connection formed when a loved one joins the family
there. Following a series of tragic events and with literally 24 hours notice, the
Barrington team stepped up to welcome us and provide a home for a loved one with
special needs. The residents rallied around us in numerous ways to provide support
to ensure full engagement in life at The Barrington. From the daily attention to the
numerous special events, you will be impressed. Yes, incredible is the right word for
our relationship with The Barrington for sure!”

“Our Mother lived at The Barrington. She arrived there… to red-carpet treatment
which made her feel so very special. We will never forget that day, nor will we forget
how happy she was living there. Everyone took great care in helping her acclimate to
her new surroundings. She made new friends, she ventured out to try new things,
and she felt well taken care of. For the most part, she has her independence back.
She felt very proud, and she was thriving.”
L.J., The Barrington at Hioaks Family Member
