The rooms at Heritage of Clara Barton were too small for me. They had assisted living and independent living. The entrance looked brand new, but the apartment looked like it needed some updating. The staff were friendly. The facility looked pretty clean.

I toured the Heritage of Clara Barton. The independent living side is very old and can use some updating. The assisted living side is the newer side, and that was much nicer. The staff who assisted me were very helpful and very pleasant. I didn't do the food; they don't have dining on the independent side. I think the staff said you can order meals or that, but I didn't look into that at all. Nothing was going on when I was there, but they said that they have an activity person that runs things for the residents. The staff who assisted me was good.

The Heritage of Clara Barton was very nice. The rooms were kind of small, but it's enough for one person and for one bedroom. The staff members were very good, very nice, and concise. They explained everything very well. The rooms were clean and very nice. The apartment I looked at had its own kitchen. The outdoor was very nice with plants. Everyone had their own space.

I went to Heritage of Clara Barton to visit my friend's place and the community seemed very nice. It was quiet and everybody was extremely nice, very kind, and very pleasant. They have a chapel and a room with some computers. It was just very dated and the room was really small for me.

I toured the Heritage of Clara Barton. They have nursing there, too. They showed me stuff. They have something for me, but it was in the basement, and I don't like to go to the basement. I would say that the tour went very well. They talked to me nicely, and that was good. It was great. The upkeep was good. The rooms were clean. They showed me the yard, they showed me the dining room, and they showed me the nursing home, too. They toured me like a professional, and that was good. I didn't know much about their activities. I saw some people in activities, but they didn't tell me anything about that.

We're on a waiting list for the Heritage of Clara Barton. Everything looks nice. The room was small. It had a little kitchenette. They look like they had a small library, a small meeting area, and a laundry room. The staff was great, friendly. They seem to be very nice. They have a couple of benches and like a downtown area.

Heritage of Clara Barton is very close to where my mom currently resides now, so that's very comforting for her. It was very friendly. The spaces were very open and pretty. I guess its downfalls are that it's starting to age a little and that area is more crowded than when it first opened.
They were excellent. The staff was very friendly, patient, willing to answer all questions, and engaging. It was a well-received experience overall. They have laundry facilities and several entertainment rooms. I toured a one-bedroom, so the living space was just a bedroom, small living area, bathroom, and kitchen. If you wanted to entertain for a larger group, they had several meeting areas that you could use as well. The lobby area for the gathering was nice.

The apartment in Heritage of Clara Barton was extremely small. The manager was very friendly and extra helpful. It was the best part of it. We just didn't really like the facility itself. Overall, it was very dated.

Heritage of Clara Barton offered what my mother is looking for, which is independent living. But she also wanted a facility that also had assisted living just in case in the future she needs additional help. The person who gave the tour was very helpful, she was knowledgeable and friendly, and she answered all my questions. The rooms are fine; they were just small. Since the space is small, she would not be able to bring most of her furniture into that location. Also, they didn't have an oven, it was just a stovetop. I didn't see an oven in case she wanted to cook, but they offer meals, which is something she's interested in. So she might not need to cook as much. The dining area was sufficient, nice ,and clean. They don't have any formal activities, but they do things from time to time. There wasn't a schedule she could show me of different activities, but she says they do get together and do different activities. I guess it's just less formal for independent living.

We had a tour of Heritage of Clara Barton. I talked with the lady who was in charge of the admissions, and I saw the basic area downstairs. At that time, she told me that all the apartments were full. She couldn't give me a tour because all the apartments were occupied.
It was really nice, and the lady that I spoke with was very accommodating. It fit my budget. The facility is very clean. The staff was friendly. I was comfortable. It's located in a nice and clean area. It met all the requirements that I needed, especially as far as the financial budget. They answered all my questions, and they apologized for not being able to give me a tour because all the apartments were occupied. As far as filling out the application, she was very helpful with me. Everything seemed to be up to date.

We toured Heritage of Clara Barton. The staff was very friendly. It was nice. She showed us a one-bedroom, it is kind of small, but it is workable. It has a stovetop, but no oven. My sister would like an oven in the apartment. The hallway looked a little dirty, and the carpets needed shampooing.
The staff told my sister what activities they have, and she showed us a recreation room where family members can meet and gather, so she was satisfied with that. The only thing that was a turn-off was the cooking facilities. There was no oven.

Heritage of Clara Barton is clean and it's not smelly. It is sort of fairly minimal compared to the other places we've already seen. But on the other hand, the cost is much, much less. I think that for the amount of money that people will be able to spend, it's probably a pretty good value. But we have seen other places that are more expensive but they are superior in the environment, in the air and in the facilities they provide. The young lady who gave us the tour was excellent. She was very helpful, friendly, and did a great job. In terms of facilities and amenities, compared to some of the other places we've seen, it would not be as impressive. But on the other hand, it's a matter of what people can afford. It's much less expensive than some of the ones we've seen. It was perfectly clean, it was beautifully clean. They have a courtyard, they have an impressive medical room, or a medical office, and that was pretty good. We also saw their laundry area.

We visited Heritage of Clara Barton. I liked their true sense of sincerity and caring about our elderly community. It was absolutely amazing, clean, and very user-friendly. I liked the fact that they gave you a COVID test before you could enter the facility. The staff was outstanding. She is an absolute pleasure to meet. It was all inclusive, which is wonderful for a senior. That includes laundry and electricity. It was a one-stop shop. They don't have to worry about paying five different bills. Cable is included.

I think Heritage of Clara Barton needs some updating. They showed me a one bedroom, and it was clean. The people who work there were nice. The young lady (I think her name was Helen) took us to the day rooms. She showed us the laundry. That was about it. I think it is well maintained. I just think it needs a lot of updating. The carpet definitely needs to be changed; it's very old, but the lighting is fine. They have like a little patio type area where you can sit. You can then have a short walk (it's a little bit of walking, but not much). It's not ideal for my grandmother because she's very independent, and she walks a lot. It was OK, but they didn't have a lot of activities at that location.

I toured Heritage of Clara Barton, and was interested in their independent living, but I also saw the assisted living. It was a place that I would like to live in. I liked the roominess of the apartments, and the two-bedroom was really, really nice. I also saw a one-bedroom deluxe, and it was nice too. It had ample closet space and it was a nice size room.
I liked where it was located, because it was near to just about everything. There was a mall right across the street from it and it was within a medical community. They even had medical right there at the place itself. I liked the walkways outside where you could walk, and it didn't even feel like it was in a city.
They had cards, teachable things like knitting, shuffleboard, and a theater, but what I was most interested in was the library, because I read a lot. They also did bus tours to different places, like outdoor concerts, and before the pandemic they took bus tours to Atlantic City. There were a lot of activities, and it was a very active community.

Before we started the paperwork at Heritage of Clara Barton, they did a coronavirus test, so they're very, very healthy conscious. Also, the place is as clean as a whistle; it is very impressive. The room that I saw was a one-bedroom, which was very spacious. As far as I know, there is a washer and dryer on three floors, soap comes with them, and they are not coin operated. The woman in charge was super nice and very friendly to us. She answered every question that we asked her. It was nice, and I like it. I wish I could get on their waiting list, and I hope I have the right amount of money when I come to the top of the list.
Heritage of Clara Barton is a very good-looking place, and the people there are very nice. I met a couple of residents; they didn't know who I was, but they were nice. They have independent and assisted living there, and I'm trying for independent living. For $300, you'll get one meal a day and for $400, you'll get two meals a day, but obviously that extra is on top of your rental. They also have a recreation room where there is a small library and a small TV. They have a bus that will take you to places for a small fee, too.
A one-bedroom would have two electric burners, a refrigerator, a lot of cupboard space, and a wall closet, as well as a bedroom closet for your clothes. It looks good. There is a hookup for cable TV in your room, but you obviously have to buy the TV, and you pay for whatever service you're using. It seemed like a place I would like to live, it looked good, and the people seemed very good.

My parents have been so incredibly happy and blessed to live in this facility.
The staff is clearly committed to providing the utmost care and communication.
As we continue to adjust to the new normal the care provided put put my husband and I at peace because of the protection my parents are receiving They also feel safe and secure living in the facility.
The favorite part of the apartment for my parents is the shower, they no longer worry about falling trying to get in and out. The kitchen is the perfect size and there is a lot of closet space.
There is no other place we or they would want to be.

Approaching almost 5 years as a resident with my wife in the Independent Floor has been a wonderful experience. Apartment was very clean, freshly painted, new carpeting, spacious rooms. The cleaning dept was there vacuuming and mopping the common areas every day. Overall
the Manager, Jyll
B. and Christine A. have very professionally addressed this Corona Virus outbreak with care and concern beyond words. Also the staff including dietary do their utmost to help wherever they can to keep all the residents safe and cared for on a personal level. Everyone there should be given a medal
for outstanding care! Anyone considering to have their loved ones live there will be truly happy with their decision
