I think this is the coziest place! The food is really good, served in courses. Fine dining in a very beautiful dining area. The atmosphere is so friendly, the residents are happy. They really try hard to please.

I have been a resident of Washington Commons for 3 months. I moved her far away from my family in Indiana. I have had my share of struggles and a lot of anxiety about being alone. However, after the first week I felt at home and well taken care of. Haley checks in on me daily and ensures i eat. Caroline helped me get things in order with the VA. The food is great and I have been eating full and healthy meals 3 times a day. I have not felt this good and healthy in a long time. I can not thank them enough. I have amazing neighbors and love living here.

Last Friday, we decided to pay a visit to Washington Commons by Barclay House as a possible next step in the rest of our life. We did not have an appointment but we were treated just as well as if we did. Caroline Bradshaw is a very knowledgeable community sales manager and showed us around, answered our questions and made us feel very much at home. Whether you are a drop-in visitor or have a scheduled appointment, we think you will find it just as charming as we did. Oh, and did I mention that we are not easily impressed. We have spent 30 yrs. in senior housing housing ourselves before retirement and know what to look for.
