Barathaven has been an excellent facility, they have taken very good care of my mom, I was very nervous putting my mom in a facility, but the staff there has put my mind at ease they treat her like she is their family ,and they always let me know what's going on with her, I appreciate all they do for her and they know it is a hard decision and they help you through one of the toughest decision anyone will have to make. Great staff and excellent care

I am truly honored to be working here at Barathaven. I have been privileged to be apart of Barathaven for over 12 years now and I'm still thrilled to come in each day to serve our residents and their families. I have had the opportunity to work with so many wonderful people over the years that have a true passion for caring for the the elderly. We strive at meeting our residents where they are in engaging them in what they can do now that makes them happy. Making sure they're taking care of in every way is what we do best!

Barathaven is a wonderful place. The staff is personable and available to residents and family members, while remaining professional guides and assistants for a resident’s care. The facility is designed with the needs of residents in mind, well-maintained and clean. I’m grateful we found this community for our loved one.

Through many years of Unity Hospices partnership with Barathaven, we have seen first-hand the great care provided to the people in this community. In working with Barathaven as an account liaison I have seen the commitment staff here have to providing specialized care that focuses on dignity and quality of life. From the new administrator, to nursing staff, to activities and more this team of professionals is focused on providing a great environment and excellent care. Im proud to be of service to this community!

Ive been at Barathaven 3+ yearswe love these people like they are our own family! We spend holidays, weekends, days nights etc with these people. We give up time with our families to make sure other peoples family are WELL taken care of. The only negative thing Id have to say is employees deserve higher pay (competitive pay) and retirement there would be less turnover! Especially the ones that have been with the company through all the low staffing and switching of Higher ups. Etc. Our nurses, maitnence, kitchen staff, caregivers , DON etc work their hardest to make sure we all cover the floor no matter what needs to be done! Barathaven is like a family. Ps the HSD is amazing

I am so happy that we found Barathaven for my dad. He is content and exceptionally well cared for. The staff is to be commended for continuing to stay Covid-free. Zero cases!

This review is to debunk the Regina Jaeger review as a hostile person in denial of her dads condition of Alzheimers, Parkinsons and transition to end of life. Regina as a result of her own actions got barred from Barathaven by the recommendation of police after the police physically escorted her out . I am Reginas brother so have witnessed her hateful actions along with similar actions of another brother and sister since dad was put in Barathaven after being diagnosed with Alzheimers. As Regina stated, she lives over 400 miles so rarely visited Barathaven yet writes a review like she is an expert of the facility. I agree with Regina that the staff of Barathaven were and am still very caring and loving to my dad. Many of the staff said my dad was the perfect resident and they just loved him. One of my sisters found Barathaven after asking many people for recommendations and finding Barathaven was highly recommended as the best Alzheimers care facility in the area. Some of things I like about Barathaven is the residents are allowed to roam freely and do odd things that make them happy including moving furniture and sitting or lying down anywhere as long as there is no risk of safety. Barathaven has daily activities for the residents and frequent visits of musicians that perform for the residents. Barathaven also has group outings for those capable enough to participate. While I admit I wasnt present when the police escorted Regina out, I spoke with Brenda the next day. Brenda was upset from the yelling and hateful things Regina, my brother and other sister were saying in dads room. My 3 siblings were trying to get the staff to withhold pain medication to try to get my dad to regain conscious. Another nurse told me she was almost in tears over their actions. This is barbaric behavior to withhold pain medicine for our dad 5 days post hip replacement surgery and who had never regained consciousness after surgery. I wish my 3 siblings would read Hold My Hand Caring for a Loved One written by Kimberly Roderique, RN for BJC Hospice and Final Gifts – Understanding the Special Awareness, Needs, and Communications of the Dying by Maggie Callanan and Patricia Kelley to get past denial and learn that dad is following the classic end-of-life transition and is be cared for accordingly. Regina didnt mention that all the experts at the hospital and hospice gave dad a Palliative Performance Scale of 10% which is the lowest score before death. Also because of Parkinsons after surgery lost the ability to swallow to the point the hospital couldnt insert an NG tube in for feeding and medicine. A specialist was finally able to get a small nasal tube inserted with the diameter of a small electric cable where only liquid could get through. Regina also didnt mention that dads healthcare directive states the following: If I am persistently unconscious or there is no reasonable expectation of my recovery from a serious incapacitating or terminal illness or condition, I direct that all of the life-prolonging procedures which I have listed below be withheld or withdrawn: 1. Artificially supplied nutrition and hydration (including tube feeding of food and water.

I have been a volunteer at Barathaven for several years along with others from our church. It has been a pleasure to work with the staff as they lovingly seek to care for all in their charge who have been afflicted with this terrible disease. The staff seeks to bring dignity and peace in the midst of the storm while gently walking with the families through the long, torturous good night.
