LIVITA BARRINGTON RETIREMENT RESIDENCE

When you first pull into the Livita Barrington, it feels like a drive into a secluded, well-maintained estate. The setting is peaceful and calming, next to a private school, in an area populated by mature trees. For people making a move later in life, if that setting feels welcoming, it’s merely the basis for the warm, friendly community that you’ll find here. This is a move into a new home that truly feels homey.

This appeals to people with progressive ideas about what a seniors’ retirement community ought to be like. Independently run, this community responds flexibly to the needs of residents. There’s an experimental aspect to this community that promises to make it open-ended in an ongoing basis, ideal for Bradford residents who are as progressive-minded as this retirement home's builders.

This review is long overdue, but it's important to express our gratitude. From the outset, Joy and Glenda provided impeccable service and a white glove treatment for my grandmother's care transition and subsequent stay at Livita Barrington. Their effort and attention to detail were remarkable. Since moving in, my grandmother has felt incredibly at home, thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere fostered by the Barrington team. We can't thank Joy, Glenda, and the entire staff enough for their dedication and support.

My Mom lived at the Barrington for one year before needing long-term care. The staff is wonderful and the home is very well kept My thanks to Emily, Glenda, Joy on reception, and Christine, Mom's favourite PSW.

My Mom is the longest resident at The Barrington right now. We have always had good experiences but when Livita took over it became that much better. Emily, Amy, the Joys and all the staff are wonderful. Lots of smiles and encouragement to join in the fun for the families. I applaud them all and their efforts

Through my experience I would not want my grandparents anywhere else. The care team genuinely care as if they are all one big family. Knowing the little details about the residents is what sets them apart. Things like knowing a favorite food or game is what makes the residents feel seen and cared for. They have set the bar for care so high it makes it hard to imagine being anywhere else.

The staff at Livita are over the top professional and kind to all the residents. Our dad has been a resident for a couple of years and calls his room "home". Meals are excellent and nutritious. Extra activities are frequent and enjoyable. We have a real comfort level that dad is in a retirement home that respects him and his his every need.

My mother was transferred to Elden from South Lake after a fall. The staff here have been amazing and I feel that my mother is in good hands. The facility itself is clean and modern and the residences all have big windows and tons of sunlight. Jacqueline Cassels, the Director of Care, took a difficult situation and provided a solution that exceeded all my expectations.

The Elden is a wonderful, neat, clean, helpful, and refreshing place to live. The nursing staff is amazingly kind gentle and respectfully caring of the residents. They treat them with respect and dignity. The staff shows warmth and loving care to everyone. The management has assembled a super staff to serve and care for our loved ones at the Elden. The property and buildings are very very neat and clean. There is a good schedule of activities for the residence to take part in and the meals are great. All employees everywhere at the Elden are cheerful and helpful.

I can't thank ALL the staff at the Elden enough, to be honest. Everyone is kind and compassionate. My mom has been a resident at the Elden since the beginning of Covid and everyone has gone above and beyond to make her feel welcome and included. I know that she is well looked after and my mind is totally at ease.

As always, anytime I participate in an event it is fantastic. Of course, the ice cream was yummy/delicious. The music was wonderful, the girls were perfect with their choices of music to sing along with or dance to.

Our family cannot give enough praise to the staff of the Elden. Much gratitude to them for their compassionate care to our mother.
