Our dad lived at Barrington of Oakley on the memory care unit for 3+ years. It was a fantastic experience. The facility is wonderful, the food is decent but best part is the staff! The Aides and Nurses are the absolute best. They took amazing care of our dad and he loved it there! They are caring, compassionate and make sure the residents get the best possible life! They genuinely care for the residents! In addition, their turnover rate is low which is unusual in this industry! The administration is excellent and great with communication. It was a wonderful choice for our dad!

Helpful staff. I called the office to confirm the details of a delivery our company, Sleep Outfitters Kenwood, was going to be completing to one of your new move in residents. The office personnel were detailed which is nice to have prior to our delivery there. We look forward to further assisting your residents!
