Almost two years ago my family's lives were forever changed. Our mother was needing to be cared for in an assisted living facility. We were directed to contact local facilities and the first and last facility I spoke with was Barnes Care. I was a mess and I was in a situation completely unfamiliar. I was guided and assisted in getting any and all necessary information by Barnes Care staff. Our mother has now been living at Barnes Care for nearly two years. She is treated with both dignity and respect. She also gets a healthy dose of (much needed) humor! I feel as though I am slighting the employees or staff at Barnes Care in referring to them as such...they have become so much more to us. These wonderful people are our sounding boards, our confidants, our hand holders, and the wonderful caregivers of our mom. We are indebted to these individuals, and care greatly for each of them. My family has only praise to say regarding Barnes Care, we are very fortunate and we thank them!
