The only thing she could afford at other places was a shared room that was tiny. The social worker we had knew the folks at Heron House. They worked with us to get Mom a private room at a price we could afford. Sherry, Marybeth and Courtney have all been really great to me and my Mom. The staff is consistent without a lot of turnover. Mom has her favorite nurse-Tequila who really makes her laugh and her favorite tech-Brittany who is very sweet. The all day dining room is a huge plus as the residents don't feel they have to hurry or they'll miss a meal. The homemade soups are amazing by the way. Heron House may not be the newest facility but the care they give their residents is genuine. I have found them to be responsive, caring and kind.

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.

It was immaculate, no smell at all, everyone was happy and friendly, and there were decorations for the season, which made a very nice, welcoming atmosphere. My friend decided on a one-bedroom apartment with a screened patio, which also had a small kitchen area. It is a nice-sized apartment and we were able to fit all her bedroom furniture in the bedroom, including her recliner chair, and a full-sized couch, a love seat, two arm chairs, coffee table, end table, and chest in the living room. Over time, she has deteriorated, both physically and mentally, and the staff has adjusted as needed. She can be overly demanding at times, but the staff is patient and understanding with her, and always there when she needs them. I've eaten there a few times and the food is delicious and nutritious - and a varied menu which she can choose from each day. I highly recommend Cypress Palms for any of your loved ones. They have always gone beyond my expectations in caring for my friend.

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.

There are no activities here and there is no transportation of any kind for anything. The woman who owns the place will either threaten to throw you out or Baker Act you if you disagree with her for any reason. The police are here constantly to break up fights between the residents. A lot of the residents have a tendency to be violent and are constantly screaming at someone. I could go on with a lot more but will let you decide if you want to ever consider living here or putting a loved one here. Good luck with your search. I had to give this a rating before they would let me post my review so I gave it one star but wouldn't even give it that if I could.
