Review for Whealdon Estates by Barclay House

I chose Whealdon Estates because it had the most benefits for the money. So far I'm happy here. I would recommend Whealdon Estates to others. The staff and residents are friendly and the accommodations are comfortable

From existing to thriving

My mom went from being by herself, trying to prepare her own food take her own garbage out, clean her own home and worried to drive anywhere to living with all of her friends having breakfast with all of her friends prepared for her off of a menu going to Walmart once a week with all of her friends playing cards with all of her friends, watching movies and listening to live music with all of our friends. It is truly life-changing. I would highly recommend to others. My mom is very happy. Doesn't have to worry about

All 5s, but I have only one complaint and it is on the untimely serving of food 45-1:15 for each meal. Food is excellent

Review for Whealdon Estates by Barclay House

Everything was excellent the facility and the people. Unfortunately my mom has no Internet service. That's the only complaint. I give the facility a 10 out of 10 they just remodeled it, I give the people a 10 out of 10 they love their residence. It's been one of the best moves we made for my mom. She has friends, she plays, rummy cube, she has activities. It's reversed her aging.

We have new management and just was remodeled. Our staff go out of their way to help us. They still have a bit to go to complete the remodeling. Lighting in the dinning room. Etc. Overall the place looks and feels great. I love the new management team. They get things done
