The care that The Arbors At St Barnabas is providing to my in-laws has been very good. They were in a two-bedroom apartment in assisted living, which was really wonderful for them when they were more mobile. It was newly renovated, the food was good and whatnot, but they had to move to another building when their mobility became an issue. They're now in a double room but it's just one room. It's been very good for them. The people really help them get adjusted. At the place where they are now they've gone to some music activities where they bring people in to play musical entertainment. They have some other gatherings and they play games with the residents who can play games. They also have a very good activities coordinator who has activities three times a week, and they again play games to help with their skills. They do sing-alongs and there are activities where they make decorations for the parties they're having. For people who are able to leave, they have buses to take them, or they take them for ice cream or to symphonic type things. The activities are a little less intense now that they're at a higher level of care than when they were in assisted living. The staff has been absolutely wonderful, and since they have skilled nursing, they almost always have a nurse on staff member around the clock. So if you need anything special or anything to get checked there's a nurse to help. The aides are wonderful, they're just attentive, kind, and very good. The meals looked very good. We went there to have Thanksgiving with them, it was a special meal, and it was wonderful; it's restaurant quality. Both of my in-laws are satisfied with their regular meals. The activity spaces are very nice, they're all clean, and almost all redone.

She's at Valencia Woods. It's a nursing home, and it's beautiful. The caregivers take excellent care of her. Her room is private, fully furnished, spacious, and cheerful. The location is very convenient, and the grounds are well-kept.

The quiet location of Valencia Woods at St. Barnabus will lure you to tour this facility.

They also have many support groups for a variety of conditions such as: Cerebral Palsy, Diabetes, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease. When there is a support group for you it will help to keep a person learning about their disease. This makes someone feel more secure and know what to expect if something changes. Anytime a facility offers ongoing support and education it is wonderful for you as the patient and helps provide reassurance that you are not alone. Tour this facility and you will love the location and wonderful things the staff are doing for the patients.
