I am deeply disappointed with our experience at The Barrington. My parents lived there together,…read moreand during an already devastating time, the lack of compassion and communication made everything far worse. When my father was placed on hospice, his final wish was to return home so he could pass away next to my mother. The Barrington refused to allow him back unless he was disconnected from the medical machine needed to drain fluid from his lungs. This decision forced my family into an impossible situation and caused my father immense suffering in his final days. No family should ever have to make a choice like that simply to allow loved ones to be together at the end of life. Just days after my father passed away, my mother suffered a fall and was taken to the hospital. She was cleared for discharge the same day, yet The Barrington refused to allow her to return, stating that she was now a "liability." This is why we placed her into a living facility. At that moment, my mother was grieving the loss of her husband and suddenly found herself effectively homeless--denied access to the very home she had shared with my father. Throughout all of this, communication from management was extremely poor. Phone calls and concerns were not handled with urgency, clarity, or empathy. It was evident that resident well-being was not the priority. Additionally, even after my father's passing, The Barrington continued to deduct money from my parents' account. It took months of follow-ups to finally receive a refund, adding unnecessary stress to an already painful situation. This facility failed my parents when they needed care, compassion, and understanding the most. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend The Barrington to families seeking a place that truly prioritizes dignity, communication, and humane treatment during critical life moments. Truly the worst place!!!!!!

Well, this is where my dear mother lives nowadays since she's no longer able to live by herself…read morethat efficiently or safely. She kinda doesn't appreciate not being able to go anywhere other than on their schedule or by para transit (she's going blind). They've recently started to repaint the place also. All the activities you can imagine are here, such as movie night, bingo, musical programming, etc. I just have to mention, BTW, that a new parent company took this place over from Tarantino Mgmt. Still 3 meals a day, still activities and transportation, etc. At any rate, my dear mother is in the independent living part of the facility. This means she has her own apartment complete with a small kitchen, a screened in patio as well as a decent sized bedroom for one person. Then her living room has a good sized TV and her own furniture, etc. She was welcome to decorate the apartment as she saw fit; guess who her mover was? I still have the back-ache to prove it. Today was no different; after I helped her with mail and whatnot, I helped her rearrange bedroom furniture! At least the apartment is kinda light and airy (for an old folks' home anyway). Hurricane shutters too! I don't partake in meals here so I can't tell you much other than to say my mother prefers homemade meals, so I obliged her with three. Anyhoo: place is tidy enough but still worn around the edges when you go upstairs. They need to slap some paint around in the residential hallways! BTW: they have the slowest elevators on earth. If they used these old crates in the Empire State Building you'd have a birthday on the way to the top and another on the way down. So would I wanna stay here? Hell no! My mother isn't the happiest camper here as she says all the staff is quitting in droves. Well, if I had to work here I'd probably wanna run for the hills myself.

In March this year my father was admitted to Oak Manor Rehab center for physical therapy after…read moresurgery for repairing broken femur from a fall. After 5 weeks he was close to discharge but then became deathly ill from 4 serious infections that were all preventable and caused by neglect of simple hygienic care and poor medical attention from staff and facility. He was in ICU for 4 days fighting pneumonia, severe UTI, E-Coli and blood sepsis. He remained in hospital for another 15 days recovering before able to come home. At home with home healthcare and 24 hr. care necessary now. He is very slowly recovering with PT but is no longer independent as previous to original injury. Due to the severity of infections and hospitalizations he has lost a large amount of his cognitive thinking and communication abilities. He now suffers from chronic COPD due to pneumonia. So many more things happened and lack of care that would take a few more pages. Please do not take your loved ones here is all I can say!

This review comes from my deep appreciation for the care my mother received during her nine years…read moreat this facility. The staff--from Abby to Grace and the entire team in every cottage--deserve recognition for their attentiveness, compassion, and support toward both residents and family members. The cottages are consistently clean and well maintained. Meals are nutritious, balanced, and served on time every day. Even when I was away for the summer, I felt confident knowing my mother was in good hands. The staff communicate regularly about residents' health and behavior, sharing both positive updates and any concerns promptly. My only suggestion for improvement would be to ensure better management of personal clothing items, as they were occasionally misplaced or taken by other residents. I recommend the facility to family members looking for a place for their parents or family Louise T

The State has closed two cottages due to the infestation and poor conditions (full of roaches).

I regret sending my mother to Pacifica Bellair for the 8 months that she resided there, ending up with a huge hematoma that bled for two weeks. One of the residents, a little old lady that lived in the same cottage than my mother, was sent to the hospital with maggots in her legs and private parts. She died in the hospital. This place SHOULD BE CLOSED and Dawn Grady should not be working with our fragile loved ones.

Asked for something to eat, no food after 6 pm! Was given a cup of water at 6:30 p.m. and told to wait until breakfast. Had to borrow roomates wheelchair to use the restroom as none provided by facility. They are rude, evasive and unhospitable. I thought I was in a nightmare and called a friend to rescuse the very next morning. If you love someone, do NOT send them here.

After being here 30 days, she could not tell me one thing she does not like. She likes it all! When I walked into the dining area to visit my friend, I walked into an ice cream social. My friend and one of the other residents asked the staff member serving up ice cream if I could have a cup. She gave me one, and it was delicious. My friend showed me her room. It's small and cozy and she has her own bathroom. We sat outside talking, and it was a beautiful day. She showed me the lake behind the facility, and told me she loves watching the ducks. As we talked, a couple of musicians pulled up to the front of Lake House and unloaded their equipment. Within 30 minutes we heard them playing in the dining area. They were great! I look forward to seeing my friend often in the future. I'm so glad she's here!
