“Paul Springs is full of very professional staff members from top to bottom. Any concerns or questions I have about my parents care are addressed in a swift timely manner. I highly recommend the dining experience here, the food is great. If you want your family members in a nice clean safe environment choose Paul Spring.”

“Before choosing the Barrington for my father, I toured a half dozen other assisted living facilities. By far, Barrington provides a superior environment. It feels more like an all-inclusive hotel than assisted living. The staff is very attentive and friendly. The apartments are well appointed. Dad raves about the food in the dining room. There are planned outings, and many daily activities. There is an on-site masseuse as well as a full service salon, a gym, and Starbucks Cafe in the lobby. There are raised garden beds outside as well as a wonderful pavilion for catching the sun or shade. They literally roll out the red carpet for their residents. Thank you for making Dad feel so welcome and at home.”

“We immediately liked this facility right after we attended a tour and we liked it even more after we arranged for our mom to stay there. It is really a lovely facility with beautiful decor, a number of amenities as well as programs, designed to enrich the lives of their senior residents. The most impressive thing is that you can see that all residents you meet are very happy and everyone you meet in the facility says “hi” with a smile on their faces. We were also very impressed by the director of sales and community relations for her professional attitude and work ethics. She could quickly answer all our questions and handled things very efficiently. Another thing we have to mention is their dining hall. Besides everyday fresh flowers on each table and some live music, the meal service is so good that you may feel you are at a restaurant on a river cruise. We would highly recommend this senior living community to anyone looking into options for their loved ones, or for themselves.”

“My aunt has lived here for a while and I love that she is in such a warm community. It’s hard to find an assisted living home that you trust your family will be in great hands. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms and facilities are clean, and the staff seem to genuinely love their jobs.”
