The Barrington of Carmel is a lovely place. In preparation for my Mother's move to the area I visited and did deep interviews with staff at numerous senior living communities in Carmel and north Indianapolis. It was an easy decision to choose The Barrington. The staff is professional, procedures make sense, the facility is lovely and there are many programs/offerings. While no community is perfect our experience has been that The Barrington seeks to respect residents, be fair and inclusive, and care for people. Almost a year on my mother is very happy here. Thank you to all who work here!

The Barrington was a beautiful place to have an event. I would have loved to see more. The food wasn't that great and there wasn't enough food, but I think it was catered from somewhere else.
