Please, do whatever you can to not have to place your family here. My mother left with a condition from her care there, which eventually took her life. I have no doubt that my mother would still be alive had she not been there for the immediate months after her stroke. 6 weeks after a stroke, they gave up on her therapy and said she was at her baseline. I begged for them to reconsider, and still no. They said that she seems really depressed, so that’s probably why she’s not doing better with therapy. No kidding, she just lost her son and she had a massive stroke and lost her mobility. Anyone would be depressed. That doesn’t mean we give up on somebody.Never was she clean when anyone stopped in, greasy hair, dirty nails, dirty clothes. It would be 11 o’clock in the morning and she would have visitors and they’d make them wait to see her because they hadn’t gotten her up yet. Why in the world would they not have people up and ready for their day by 11 AM? The weight loss that happened there is also suspicious. There is so much more that I have records of, that happened to her there. And they can say that it’s due to being understaffed, but if they don’t have the employees to take care of residents correctly, they should stop accepting residents into the facility. There’s so much more, too much to post on a review. When there are employees with other care services telling you thank God you got your family member out of there because it’s so bad, that says something. But on a personal level, do whatever you can to not have your family member be placed here.

Please think hard about how much you love your family member before you admit them there.<br>I have 2 stories that will definitely make you think twice. To much to write here, but feel free to message me.

My Dad has been at Barre Gardens for 7 months now. He has adjusted very well and has received excellent care. I appreciate the attention the nurses and staff give him every day. He seems very content with his surroundings.

My mother Patricia H. is a resident at Barre Gardens. My is 88.5 yrs old. She has severe dementia and a severe traumatic brain injury. I must say, I didn't know what to expect. My mother is the Vermonter, but, we grew up 25 minutes from from Boston and educated there. Mom is a challenging resident. In fact, no other places would take mom due to her medical records. Mom, in her prime, was a sophisticated, elegant, smart woman. BG has been the same. They have entertainment, music, bingo and a most dedicated and talented staff, who are compassionate. A rare breed of people,but, that the Vermont way. Putting a parent in a home like this is recommended. I'm a son, a lawyer and a POA, who is emotionally involved. This was the best decision of my life. I wish to recognize to Hannah M in admissions, the social worker Amy M. and all the visiting nurses who treat my mother with dignity and respect. JHH

Due to a significant fall my mom had to leave her home in Connecticut and come to Vermont for a brief period of rehabilitation to be closer to her family. She was able to discharge home with me but unfortunately had another set back and Barre Gardens stepped in and welcomed her back with open arms for long-term care. They are a wonderful facility.
