"I love working at Barb City Manor. It is not just a job to me.
When I leave work each afternoon, I know that I’ve made a difference in the
lives of the residents who live here. The staff is compassionate, caring and

There’s always something fun going on, and getting to know our wonderful

The residents become our family very quickly. It's a great feeling leaving work each day know you made someone's day just a little better".
