Testimonials

The staff is so accommodating it is outrageous. There is nothing that I want or need that isn’t already provided. The apartment is gorgeous, the kitchen staff does an excellent job, if you don’t come to meals the staff will come and check on you.

I love Barb City Manor! My mother, Shirley, has been living there for the past 7 years and she loves it there, too! It has been a blessing to know she is well-taken care of by the wonderful staff.

Daughter of resident

I thought the room was very comfortable, the carpets were nice and clean. I enjoyed the conversations at the dinner table and everyone was very friendly, warm, and inviting. I have really made up my mind that this is where I want to live.

The management team is great, they really, truly honestly care in their hearts about the people that work for them and each and every one of the residents. It’s wonderful.
