The Barrington at Hioaks

I came in for a tour and was simply amazed by everything this community offers with very reasonable prices. I like how even the independent residents get 3 meals a day provided and weekly housekeeping. My mom has a habit of not eating meals because she doesn't feel like cooking an actual meal, now she can just walk down to the dining room and eat! Some of their dining staff have been here for over 20 years, which tells me this community has to be doing something right for workers to stay that long!

The Barrington has just recently finished some of renovations of their community, they now have a brand new coffee shop with a Starbucks coffee machine which is free to all the residents. They also just finished their fitness center which has stationary bikes that I am very excited about since I love going biking. Now when the weather is bad I can just use the fitness center. They also just updated their salon so it is a lot bigger with pedicure chair and even a massage room. So when I am done biking in the gym I can go get a massage for my muscles.

I swear every time I visit my mother here, I fall more and more in love with the community. The staff are just so friendly and welcoming, you can tell its not the fake "hospitality" kind of friendly, they genuinely welcome you and get to know you on more of a personal level. I know that my mother is in great hands here and I couldn't be happier.

My mother lives in an independent living apartment at the Barrington, when COVID first started I was extremely worried that she would end up getting sick or even dying. However, the Barrington took the pandemic very seriously, while I was sad that I wasn't able to see my mother for over a year, I was happy that at the end of that year she was still alive. The community did vaccine clinics to encourage the residents to get vaccinated and they even made it mandatory for staff to be vaccinated. You can this community actually care about their residents because they are doing everything, they can to keep them alive and healthy.

My loved one currently lives at the Barrington's memory care, and I couldn't be happier with her care. The have the same nursing staff on a daily basis so I always know who will be taking care of her and they know me just as well! Their activity calendar is always full of lots of fun things for everyone to do. All of the staff get to know her on a personal level and treat her like she is one of their own loved ones, I can with the upmost confidence that this was the best decision I ever made.

I just traveled into town recently to visit my grandfather who lives here, while I had never been here or met any of the staff, they still treated me like family as soon as I walked in the door. Everyone that I passed in the hallway would welcome me to the community and asked if I needed help with anything. When I had trouble finding his room and asked for help the nurse was very eager to help me and while we were walking, she was telling me some funny stories of when she would interact with my grandpa. I'm so glad my parents chose this community because I know he is being taken care of like family.

I recently toured this community, and I was very happy with what all they have to offer 3 meals a day are included, cable and internet, lots of activities, weekly housekeeping, etc. The whole atmosphere was very warm and inviting, I really felt that they would take great care of my mother. Unfortunately, my mother died before I could move her in, but I know she would have loved it here.

This community has a bunch of signature programs that they offer that are super amazing. They have a beautiful newly renovated salon and massage room, a stunning "coffee shop", and a brand-new fitness center. The rooms are very spacious, all of their rooms come with a full kitchen which is very nice for when you want to cook your own meals.

The Barrington at Hioaks is an exceptional retirement and assisted living facility. The support staff is welcoming, friendly and always willing to help with a smile. The shuffleboard court, exercise classes and movie cinema are just three of the amenities Barrington offers for their residents. If you are searching for a retirement community or an assisted living community you will want to put The Barrington and Hioaks at the top of your list.

My mom was always anxious any time we brought up an assisted living facility and she never wanted to hear about the move. After she had a fall at home, we decided to visit a couple of the communities and see what our options are because we didn't want another fall to be the end. We were surprised how nicely kept and clean this facility was. We visited others and they all had bad odor or dirty hallways. At the Barrington, we saw a lot of staff constantly cleaning and keeping the place in great shape. We heard that the Barrington has partnered with the Richmond ballet to give the residents the ability to still go to different plays and do a lot of outings. We moved mom in a little while ago and she absolutely loves how friendly the nurses and other staff are and she feels at home. She isn't anxious anymore and thanks us for finding this great place for her. We were afraid she would resist the change but the staff made her so welcomed from the beginning that she never felt alone.

My wife and I moved here together in October of 2020, and they have done a great job taking care of us. They allowed my wife to bring her dog and the staff love him just as much as they love us. It's a really great community!

The food is amazing, they have an "a la carte" menu that allows everyone to be able to pick something that they like to eat. The menu changes weekly so there is always a variety of food!

Moving here has allowed me to meet a lot of different people and make friends with all of them. The communal dining room allows me to talk and meet all of my neighbors!

My sister and I appreciate them scheduling visits for us to be able to see our loved ones during the pandemic. Mom loves the food and dad always speaks very highly of his housekeeper for helping him with more than just cleaning. I would like to say thank you to everyone for keeping our loved ones safe and happy.

Mom and I haven't been able to do much due to Covid and when I was able to visit with her this week, I was overwhelmed how good and healthy she looks. Her bedroom was cleaned and organized, I really thought I was coming in to do a deep clean and I didn't have to. I want to say a big thank you to all of the staff there for taking great care of my mother.

I've recently toured this community and I was blown away by just how friendly everyone was and how clean the building looked. I got to see some of the nursing staff interacting with the residents and it seems like they truly go above and beyond for the residents here. They have activity calendars posted in their elevators and they are full of a bunch of cool things that I would love to go to too! Overall I was very impressed with this building.

I always passed this building and never noticed it until my mom needed a new home. We went in and toured, everyone speaks and smiles and mom needs this energy daily. We moved her in here and its been 2 years and now she says it was her idea to move here anyway. This really made me feel like I picked an excellent community.

I think this community is really great. There is a bus trip schedule to get around town to shop. Every apartment comes with a full kitchen that I can cook my meals in. Meals are included but I've cooked all my life and don't want to stop just yet! They have a lovely library with a great selection so I always have something good to read A fantastic salon and entertaining activities daily.

I recently visited this community and I was surprised with just how friendly everyone was to me. I felt truly welcomed, as I walked through the building everyone I passed said hello, someone other places I looked at the staff would kind of just ignore me when I passed them. I think with the staff being so friendly it makes this community feel more like a home instead of just like a hotel or apartment complex. Everyone just seemed so happy to be there and I really liked that.

I recently attended one of their events called "Fall Festival", at first I thought I would only stay for 20-30 minutes since it was going to be cold outside. But once I got there and heard the performer singing and drank some hot apple cider I didn't want to leave! Then they came around with the food!! Pretzel bite with beer cheese, apple dumplings and funnel cake fries!! I was so glad I came to the event, as soon as my parents are ready to move I am going to tell them they need to move here!
