The Gardens on Barry Road is an amazing senior living facility. I moved my Aunt first and then when it came to my father n law 6 months later it was hands down going to be The Gardens on Barry Rd. The facility is amazing, the layout, but the staff I must say you will not find a group of kinder people. I did reach out and tour many places before choosing his Senior Living and no facility was like The Gardens on Barry Road Reviews mean a lot to me so if you are searching and reading reviews please take mine into consideration because we all love our love ones ❤️

We are so grateful for everything about The Gardens at Barry Road. The place is very beautiful and extremely clean. Our loved one was treated so wonderfully. The staff was so pleasant and they went out of their way to make our loved one feel special. He was dreading moving into assisted living but then didn't want to leave when he had to move on to a long term care facility. I would highly recommend The Gardens at Barry Road. We feel blessed that they had an opening when we needed it. They are AMAZING!

I recently had cause to place my wife in memory care. While that was a hard decision to make, my experience with The Gardens at Berry Road was a good decision! The management and staff are professional and caring thus making it much easier for me and her family. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality operation!
