“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.”
