Washington Commons by Barclay House

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.

I love Ms. Stacy! She's very sweet! Always happy an loves too talk with you! I'll follow her, where ever she cuts hair 😍 I Luv you Stacy!!

What they could improve on would be to offer meals that are more balanced. However, we would recommend the community to other families based on the experience so far.

I can’t say enough good things about my mom’s assisted living facility. From the moment we arrived, [names removed]—just to name a few—have gone above and beyond to make both my mom and our entire family feel welcome. They have a true gift for connecting with residents and their families. They took the time to get to know my mom personally and helped her feel at home right away. [name removed] does an incredible job introducing residents to one another and encouraging involvement in the community’s many activities, which is so important for older adults making this major transition from their homes into this new chapter of life. The activities calendar is outstanding—there’s truly something for everyone, and the staff puts in so much effort to keep things engaging, fun, and meaningful. From group outings and games to crafts and live music, there’s always something to look forward to. It makes such a difference in the residents’ lives. They also have an on-site hair salon, which is such a wonderful perk. It gives residents a sense of normalcy, independence, and dignity—plus it’s a lovely way for them to treat themselves and socialize. [name removed] does a wonderful job and also is a friend to all the residents. Another key part of our positive experience has been the Right At Home services. [names removed] are all compassionate, attentive, and always available. Whether it’s help with daily needs, medication reminders, or just making sure my mom is comfortable and happy, they’re there. The entire team is incredibly responsive and genuinely cares. Since I work out of town frequently, it brings me so much peace of mind knowing that my mom is safe, cared for, and truly part of a community. Everyone keeps a loving, watchful eye on her, and I cannot express how much that support has meant to us. We are so grateful.

Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough to convey the gratitude I have for the love, care and assistance that Kristi and her crew at WC have given to my father. Moving him from a cottage to an apartment at a most difficult time wasn’t an easy task, but the smooth transition and the quality of care have exceeded my expectations. The employees of WC are so very kind and caring to their residents! That’s why we love our WC family!
