Reviews
for Barrington of Fort Thomas
Great building and facilities. Staff is very friendly. Entryway and common area and the food.
What we like about Barrington of Fort Thomas is that the staff are very informative and all aspects. Sit there facility. It's extremely clean. Staff and faculty is very accommodating.
My rating on activities is I wish they would stop by and encourage them to do an activity. They need to be pushed a little. The only other things would be that they knew my aunt was in a wheelchair so making sure she was in a handicap accessible unit would have been nice. They have been accommodating and making changes slowly but would have but nice upfront. Only other item is transportation to/from appointments are only available a few days a week. Maybe this is common but can make scheduling a challenge at times.
The Barrington is a really good place for my mother. It is one of the best values in the area. I don't worry about my mom at all. But they could get better in some of the support areas. Like the dining experience. It is difficult to cook for so many, but fresh fruits and vegetables would go a long way. And the schedule for the van service is very narrow. But overall, we like the Barrington.
Great facility. Great food. Staff does not return phone calls which has been frustrating. Information and notifications about Daily activities could be better. Overall great place for mom. It is just what she needs.
My parents picked it, and it's close to family. Not a lot of communication with the agency.I would recommend, but I just wish they had more planned activities outside the facilities.
Overall the cleanliness of the community but they are going through some remodeling - that is the only issue. When it comes to the meals and dining service, this is our loved ones only issues. There could be more fresh fruit and more input from the residents living there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families
They take great care of my Dad. Within days they knew his name by sight. They have not pushed him to participate in activities, but he is starting to explore options on his own time. We picked this community, because it was the only assisted living that would take him with thickened liquids.
The nurse on duty could be better about communicating when needed to go to the hospital as on occasion our loved one has been sent unnecessarily and medication schedule when needed is not always followed. Our loved will not participate in activities so we can't comment on that. Overall we are satisfied as my mother can be hard to deal with at times. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend Barrington of Fort Thomas to other families.
My parents liked it at Barrington. The staff are super friendly and nice. The high price was a big deal and stressful to us. Also my dad has dementia, so it wasn't working out for him to stay. Even though It didn't work out for our personal circumstances, overall we really liked it.
I love having my parents at the Barrington - it's really nice. They adjusted well and like it there. The staff are nice. It's very clean and a cheery atmosphere. Love the food. I would recommend this lovely place for long term care/ assisted living for any family looking for their loved one.
I had a really good tour experience with Barrington of Fort Thomas. It was a very nice facility and people were out and about doing things. It just did not have that outside ambiance that I was looking for.
My mom liked Barrington of Fort Thomas the best and it was the only facility she would go to. They have done a really great job here and I would highly recommend them to others looking.
My loved one was in the community during COVID. I think this is a nice community and there are lots of benefits to being there. The food was being delivered to my loved one's room. My loved one had a nice one bedroom apartment. There were some staff that were efficient and on top of things. One of those individuals was the Head Nurse and she was on top of things and she did a good job. [name removed] was good to work with as well.
The staff was very accommodating and did what they needed to to help her. The care at the community was good. When we did the initial assessment, there seemed to be a disconnect with what we felt was needed and what the staff was saying they would be able to provide. We felt not enough information was exchanged to accurately gauge her needs. Having mom live in Barrington of Fort Thomas, we felt we were given the extra time we needed to get her ready for her next move to a nursing home. We felt the community was definitely worth the price. It was less expensive than a nursing home would have been. There were lots of activities available, however mom didn't always want to participate. We were very impressed with this community.
As soon as we walked into the Barrington of Fort Thomas, I realized it would not be a good place for my father. The place itself was no good, the staff was all very nice, but it was just not a place where I would put my father.
I am basing this review not on a visit, unfortunately, but on being left hanging. I called the contact and gave a date and time to visit. He said he would call back the next day to confirm. That was over two weeks ago. I never got a call back. The other facilities I've been in touch with have returned phone calls and emails immediately.
The people are very friendly and helpful. They really try hard to make your first few weeks enjoyable. It is hard for the new resident to adjust to a new life style. Dad has had a hard time adjusting but it has only been a month. The food is delicious and having a happy hour has been nice. It is very convenient to our home and so we can visit easily and often. Overall it has been wonderful. It is expensive but not horrible compared to others in the area.
My mother is doing wonderful at Barrington of Fort Thomas. I highly recommend them. The overall total experience has been good. The food is a 3 or 4. The price is right.
Dad has been there for a short time now and he is doing great! Everyone has been nice and friendly and the staff are very accommodating! Dad has participated in some activities since moving in although he can't do it all. Barrington throws parties in the dining room area which he enjoys and really likes the food.
They love it so far. They say the food is great! We have been very happy with it. It's working out well.
We really like it. I think they get a five. The food is fine, he seems to like it. They were very comparable in price, and even less than some others we looked at.
The staff was very friendly and the facility was very clean. Administration provided us complimentary lunch with a variety of choices. Mom and I enjoyed lunch but I thought portions were small. However, when I asked for more chips I was provided additional. The facility was clean. Kevin the administrator was very thorough in addressing our questions and concerns. Mom and I were impressed with the flexibility of services and costs. We were delighted with the size of the apartments and they included washer/dryers unlike other communities we had visited. Pricing is comparable to other facilities we had visited. Grounds and facility appeared to be well kept. However, mom is limited to the size of apartment for she wants to remain on the ground floor to avoid the use of stairs and elevator. Mom and I were happy to hear we did not have to put a deposit or financial review to be considered for residency.
It turned out in the end that my brother needed some more special one on one nursing attention than what Barrington of Fort Thomas provided. I am sure the care services are great for what they are, and they did treat him very well and were very good at what they did, they just needed more attention than what they were licensed for and able to give.
The people there at Barrington of Fort Thomas are simply excellent. They are heads over the other places we have had experience with. The food is simply excellent. They stay on top of all of dads needs, making sure he gets his meds on time every time, and tending to any other needs as they arise. It has been a truly wonderful experience and we are very thankful for Barrington of Fort Thomas!
My mom was a patient for a few hours starting in the afternoon. At 5:45 AM the next morning she had a stroke and was taken by ambulance to St. Elizabeth. They never called to let me know. The hospital called me at 10:20 AM, almost 5 hours later. They said someone "tried" to contact me, so I checked for missed calls at home, work and on my cell. No calls from them. They did make sure her Medicare was charged for a full day. Needless to say, I will never recommend this facility. I am going to contact Medicare and let them know what happened and see if we can dispute the one-day charge.
I'm so happy that we chose The Barrington for my grandmother. She has become calmer and happier since moving here, and this place has become her home. The residents are kind and supportive, and she quickly made friends. The staff clearly love what they do. They are all so patient and kind. The Barrington is a wonderful place,
My family's overall experience was very positive regarding the above facility. The new nursing manager was especially attentive to my mother's issues.
I liked it
This is my favorite. Memory care was in a separate facillity, but right next door. It seemed like more of an atmosphere of independence than assisted living, even though the care options were there. Beautiful apartments; very spacious
Perfect place for Dad, close to all of us. only one meal is included in price.
