Barrington of Oakley

I think what my dad likes the most about Barrington is everyone is so friendly and willing to do anything for him, (he says). When it comes to activities, they always seem to have something going on. There's always bingo, and happy hour every night with a musical guest geared towards the residents age group. The other day they took them on a putt-putt golf outing, with ice cream afterward. For Father's Day they had a social, and they brought in four trombone players. There's always something going on; if you can't find anything to do, then that's kind of on you. My dads apartment came with a fully equipped kitchen, and a washer & dryer in unit. The bathroom and shower is nice, because it comes with a built-in shower chair. The apartment is already equipped for cable and a phone, you just bring in your own furniture from home. Overall, I would highly recommend Barrington of Oakley to others.

June 2022 move out. Her wash cloths thrown away instead of washed and towels cut up again. Her wedding present silverware for 8 has all but disappeared. There were 2 types of fork for total of 16 she has 1 fork left, 1 spoon, 0 tea spoons and 3 soup spoons. Should have 8 of each. they do not care about your belongings and help themselves. Manager laughed and said it happens all the time, Her storage locker had the lock removed and her walker stole head nurse said they did inventory on un marked lockers during covid. Her name tag is still on the locker just like all the other lockers so it's theft and lies all around. Many videos of her being dropped, no response from management. And never once an apology. Too many issues. They only contacted my brother who was out of town and couldn't see what was going on. Apparently she had Dr appts we know nothing about. No one ever called. She had cameras and this still happened. They would also deny what was on the video actually happened...

They have been very responsive, and they moved Mom in quickly. The community offers plenty of activities, including happy hours. She really needed the socialization aspect, and it has been a great fit for her. They have an ambassador program with one ambassador on each floor, which I thought was a great idea. So when she first moved in, somebody came by and took her to dinner. They do a nice job of helping out new residents. And Mom is very happy with the food as well.

This is well worth the money, compared to nursing homes. I think it is pretty good. The staff are good to work with. My loved one loves the food, it is like eating in a five star resort. There are different activities available each day for the residents. Some include basket weaving, games, happy hour, and more.

A lovely facility, nice ongoing activities & very nice apartments...Unfortunately not suited to us as we require a first floor apt & covered parking

Ask about the training of the staff, The patient staff ratio, what enhancements are included in memory other than just locked doors justifies the cost for memory care. Communication was not good with the staff and I would not recommend this community to others.

I think the community is a great place and well worth it. The director has really helped a lot. Communication is good between the staff and our family. They have kept us well informed and up to date. I would recommend this community to others.

I think it is great choice for my mom. They make a lot of effort to engage the residents and help them remain involved. They have done a good job with Covid-19. The food is good and there are lots of choices.

My parents are happy with Barrington of Oakley. The food is so-so, not much of a variety. Not much of a view. Staff has been great. They are doing a good job with communication with my brother and I during the quarantine. I have been impressed with the head nurse, she has been really helpful and positive. My dad was really happy with the activities before the quarantine.

I have enjoyed my firsts weeks at the Barrington. I have made new friends and enjoyed new activities. The food has turned out much better than I anticipated. I have enjoyed every meal to date and the dining room staff is terrific. Everyone of the staff has gone out of their way to make my stay here enjoyable

Beautiful facility with caring staff.

[Removed], Thank you very much for your assistance. As of this afternoon, we have toured the Barrington of West Chester and Oakley once and [Removed] (the second time with our Son and Daughter). Out impressions are as follows: o [Removed] is the least impressive and may be the most expensive after paying for the utilities not included in their monthly rental o [Removed] is one of the nicest places but we cannot justify their buy-in fee of $188,000 or more o The Barrington of West Chester is too far from both our Son and Daughter o The Barrington of Oakley is nice and has a plus be including three meals per day. However, their lunch and dinner menus contain only two choices which is a bit restrictive o We were quite impressed with the [Removed] with the variety of lunch and dinner entree choices, the variety of their activities, the availability of wine with dinner, and more o We will place a deposit with the [Removed] for an apartment for the spring time-frame.

I had a good tour of this community, everyone was kind. It was a good experience, and I didn't have any problems. The community appeared to be well-kept, and well maintained. The staff was friendly. All went well, but this wasn't the community for husband, and his needs.

My tour of the Barrington went well, but the thing we did not like was that the assisted living and independent living residents were all mixed together. We wanted a place where things were dedicated to a certain level of care. The place was nice and so was the people but it was not the place for my father.

Beautiful facility; nice rooms and the amenities are easy to reach, that is, it is not too big. Lots of activities, transportation, etc. for seniors who are still active.

The staff at Barrington of Oakley are very friendly and offer great care. They communicate very well with myself and my loved one. They have a variety of meal options and choices and my loved one is enjoying most of it. In memory care they offer a few activities for the residents to participate. The community is very well kept and the rooms are kept clean.

Elegant yet comfortable decor, great location, good social offerings! My folks want a smaller place, but I recommend a visit to Barrington if you're in the market.

Very nice but a waiting list that requires a deposit.

We had a terrible experience with the Barrington of Oakley, and I would not recommend them to anybody. A week after my loved one moved in she ended up in the hospital with a fractured hip. The staff here say she never fell, and that nobody know how this injury happened. My loved one could not have gotten up herself after an injury of this severity, so someone must not have reported the injury. They've been defensive, unhelpful, and unpleasant to deal with while I have been trying to find out what happened. The facility itself is wonderful looking, but I think they should have put more money towards properly trained staff.

My father was in the new Memory Care area of Barrington of Oakley and, after researching 8-10 other facilities and having him in Bethany of Dayton, we were taken with the genuine affection and professional care that Kyla and her staff provided. Dad loved each aid, nurse and employee...and their kindness and interest in us as a family was like no other experience we have had. His one bedroom with a sitting room was more than he needed, but it provided a home-like setting for when we were with him. They welcomed us at all hours and were patient when we wanted updates and info. Mom and I looked forward to being there. The residents were ambulatory and upbest generally. Really, there aren't words enough. Linda B was our first contact and her enthusiasm and efficiency set the tone. Thank you Barrington.
