Friendly Caring Staff!
Food was good lots of choices. Staff was great. They had plenty of activities. They had weekly trips. I would highly recommend Clara Barton. Rooms were big. Price was right.

It really is a 5 across the board. I'm glad we found it. The value, first of all - comparable places would have run us 33%-50% more for less space and less independence. Allowing my grandmother to be as independent as possible was and is still important, and she has that now. The space in her apartment is clean, functional, and pretty. The staff is always willing to chat and answer questions. [name removed] in particular has been wonderful, and the PTs call me periodically with updates. The meals are good. She complains about there being too much food.

The peace of mind is priceless but it's very expensive for my family. But with that being said I would say a 4 - I wish the food was better or it would be a 5.

I'm in the Independent Living part of the facility. The best features are the friendly residents, the relatively low rent, and the location

When trying to decide a spot for my grandfather to live, we were stuck on options. When Heritage of Clara Barton was suggested, we had a great tour and the staff were nothing but kind and went above and beyond what we needed to help get my grandfather into the situation he needed for success. We are so satisfied with the services provided in conjunction with what the facility has to offer. A clean room, good care, great food and an atmosphere that allows for my grandfather to have the resources he needs to do well and succeed. He is doing well and is socializing again and getting a space together with friends and allowing himself the ability to do well and thrive. That is all we could ask for. If you need a space for a elder loved one, this is the spot. You won't be disappointed with the care provided.

I recently toured Heritage of Clara Barton with my mom as we prepare for her move. She’s mostly independent but needs a bit of assistance and reminders, and this facility seems like the perfect fit. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the facility was spotless. During the tour, we peeked in during lunchtime—the food smelled so good. I also noticed a brand-new bus parked outside, and I was told the residents enjoy weekly outings, which is such a great perk. We’re excited to move my mom in at the start of the new year. I feel confident she’ll be well cared for here!

As a family member, what would've been a very stressful situation turned out to be the biggest sigh of relief. Our family had to act quickly and make decisions a few months ago. Every person we've met through the process has been so helpful. I'm thankful for this community for my dad and he has adjusted well. All the residents and staff are friendly and kind. The meals in the dining room are delicious. There are fun activities all day long! The building is spacious and so are the apartments.

When I first moved in I didn't know that me being an independent tenant I was not allowed to enter some parts of the building & when I didn't a staff member very rudely told me that I was not allowed. I my refrigerator was extremely loud & I had to beg to get a replacement. If I knew what I know now before I moved here I would have never moved here. It's a depressing place. The fire alarm goes off & I don't know if I should stay in my apartment or leave. They do nothing for the independent people at thanksgiving or Christmas, but they do things for the people that need assistance.

In every category I would rate them a 5. The facility is very expensive but they take Medicaid which is a program I'm going to have to start completing paperwork for soon. Very helpful director who provides lots of information. The staff has been wonderful. It's a stressful time and they made the transition easy.

For a senior living facility, there are no nice touches. WiFi doesn't work, so be prepared to pay for your ow. Food is good, but there is no dining roomSocial and Group events are limited to the assisted living facility on the higher floors. The residents are nice. Fantastic bagels are located within 400 feet, which gives this place an extra star.

My loved one was previously a resident at The Heritage of Clara Barton and the overall experience was good. Based on our experience, I would probably recommend The Heritage of Clara Barton to others.

There does seem to be quite a bit of staff turnover. Other than that, the facility is clean, all of the staff and residents have been kind, it is affordable and it is in a great location! I would definitely recommend The Heritage of Clara Barton to others looking.

My sister made the decision to move to a Senior Living facility this past year, given changes in her family support situation, and increasing concerns about the aging process. Though she experienced the normal concerns about such an important lifestyle move, she, her family and I have concluded that she was fortunate to have selected HCB. The facilities are more than adequate, but the staff, from the Administrator down have proved to be outstanding. Professional, supportive, friendly and caring all describe the staff. Every resident seems to be recognized by name, and by special needs. The more she gets to know the facility, the better she (and we) like it.

I am currently a resident at The Heritage of Clara Barton. Most of the staff are friendly, one staff member was rude to me one time. The housekeeping is good. Overall, if I knew what I know now before I moved here, I would have tried very hard to find somewhere else to live. Also, the cable service could be better. It is not 100% reliable.

What I like the most about The Heritage of Clara Barton community is I have finally found a place to call home. Based on the experience I have had so far, I would recommend this community to other families who may need a place for their loved ones.

I would recommend The Heritage of Clara Barton to others looking for independent living. It has been a great place for me to live, although I feel it should've been a bit cheaper, especially if you want to make your own meals for yourself.

Overall I think it's a good value. They do their best to make it a pleasant experience for my loved one. The food is average. Variety is good, but it's just not to my loved one's taste. The other residents seem to be eating it without issue.
