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.

Livita Barrington has been such a welcoming retirement home for my Dad. They have gone above and beyond in making his adjustment to his new home. Last week we had a fantastic BBQ with lots of fun and games and music. We are very happy with everyone so friendly and caring.

On behalf of our Mother, Audrey Sanderson, we would like to thank all the staff at the Barrington for being so supportive to our Mom. It was a very trying time for her & us. All the staff went above & beyond helping her settle in. At times Mom could be challenging & even though she was confused, she was happy & you could hear her sing "The Old Gray Mare." The Barrington makes you feel at home & everyone does their part to see that you feel that way.... We would not hesitate to refer The Barrington to anyone. Thanks to all of you.

... One last thank you to you and your staff for all the love and care you have provided mom in the past couple of years you are all true professionals!

Mom had an amazing seven years at the Barrington. It is hard to find words to express our gratitude in the care mom received and the love from her Barrington family.
Our mom lived at the Barrington for seven years until her passing. The Livita Barrington is a lovely place to live. A community within a community. Their staff is kind, caring and compassionate. From Emily the G.M., whom is always open to talking to you. Joy and Christine meet you at the front desk and greet you like you are part of their family. Amee who provides amazing programming, Brad who makes sure that everything is ok. Glenda and her amazing team who took wonderful care of mom and guided us through mom's end of life journey. I can't say enough about the staff. Mom was safe, content and we knew that she was loved. We were appreciative of the level of care shown by all staff. Our mom was part of an amazing Barrington family.

My mother has been at the Barrington for almost 4 years ! She just loves it! I (we) family couldn’t be happier to know how well looked after she is. Emily the General Manger is top notch and has a wonderful team. Glenda the Nursing Manager goes above and beyond with her PSW team (glue to keeping all healthy ) the meals are healthy and and always a variety. Joy and Christine at the desk are always so happy and to assist in ANY issue. Amee the Activities Director is super, the energy and love she shares is unbelievable! The variety of entertainment and outings and crafts is super. She treats all the residents like there her own parents. I can’t say enough about the Barrington and the wonderful team!! Thank you!

At this time with COVID I would like to express how much gratitude for the admirable way you all “stepped up to the plate” to make a tough situation workable. You all put a smile on your face and yes I even heard a giggle here and there from the back of my room. So there will be no golden Emmys for you , only cheers and applause for such a job well done and let you know how glad I am I’ve chosen to live here.

Great place for seniors to call home. Very happy with our choice and highly recommend it.
Christine Misener, family member
Livita Barrington Barrie is a beautiful location and has by far the best staff you could ask for. My father only got to experience the Barrington for 7 days before he went into the hospital and passed shortly afterwards. However, in those 7 days, the staff not only cared and loved my father but my family as well. If it wasn't for the staff at Barrington advocating for my father while he was in the hospital, we never would have gotten my father into hospice so quickly where we could visit him on his final day. The staff [here] made his short transition so comfortable and smooth that my father was happy in his new home... I will forever be grateful to the staff at Barrington for their kind words, their care and genuine love they quickly grew for my father. This is the only place I would ever send an aging loved one.
Sylvia Meadows, family member
The onboarding was fantastic. Such a caring team of professionals... The communications manager even came in on a Sunday to spend a few hours "bonding" with our Mom. The facility is spotless and the commitment from every team member to make the residents feel welcomed and at home is outstanding. A huge bonus was no 2 week lock-down was required because Mom has been given both [COVID-19] vaccines. Such a relief to know she is in the best possible hands.

Livita Barrington has been a lifesaver for our family. We moved our mom to Livita back in 2020 after a hospitalization. She was unable to return home and Livita became her new HOME. It is truly a warm, comfortable place to live! She was treated with kindness and respect. She loved it! She sang praises about the staff, the food, and the accommodations.
We lost mom earlier this year, but my dad has moved in now! He constantly talks about the staff at the Livita (kitchen, cleaning, maintenance, nursing, administration - EVERYONE!). He is treated with respect and kindness, is served great meals and his room is beautiful! ALL of his needs are being met! Livita has become a part of our family. We don’t have to worry about him living alone. There is always staff available if needed. During these crazy covid times our family feels blessed to know dad is living the best life he can and is happy! Thank you!!
