I recently had cause to place my wife in memory care. While that was a hard decision to make, my experience with The Gardens at Berry Road was a good decision! The management and staff are professional and caring thus making it much easier for me and her family. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality operation!

The Gardens of Barry Road have been extremely patient with my mom. The staff are awesome. The residents love it there. I am sure once she gets used to it, she will fit right in. They are a extremely clean place. She wanted to go there daily for the activities and lunch but wanted to come home and sleep. However with her dementia deteriorating, this was not the best option. Her safety was 1st as mom was still cooking. On numerous times, she created a safety hazard not only in our kitchen but also in her bedroom. It is of utmost importance that our loved ones are well taken care of even if it hurts seeing this in the beginning. As time passes, I am sure Mom will get used to her surroundings and settle in.
The intake process for both of my parents has been nothing short of pleasant. Unfortunately, due to some of my mothers health problems it has been a very trying process to find a facility that is willing to take her with Medicaid. After a horrible experience at another facility prior to this, It has been such a relief to be able to move her to a facility who truly cares about their residents. After talking to several other residents in the last couple of weeks, they all seem very content and happy. My parents as well as other residents have raved about how good the food is! Many of them have come from other facilities where they have expressed their gratefulness to The Gardens at Barry Road. The staff also seem to feel very appreciated. Such a welcoming place. Lesa has been awesome! The other staff I have met with have been very kind.
It's difficult to put into words how helpful and accommodating the staff was in helping us navigate the path to getting our dad admitted here. They were very thorough, patient and above all, kind. Lesa, Ashleigh, and the admitting RN from Princeton, MO. (her first name escapes) were exceptional! The facility itself really reminds of a nice mid-level hotel, a lot like a Hampton Inn. The facility is EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, well lit, with nice furnishings and very friendly staff. We are very early in our journey here, but if the rest of the journey is anything like the beginning, we'll be very happy. More importantly, dad will be happy.
We just moved my dad into a skilled nursing facility from The Gardens. I could write pages about how wonderful this facility is. The people are remarkably dedicated and caring. They helped us navigate many medical situations in the 14 months we used them. Even after moving out, they are still 10X more responsive with requests than any other facility or medical services organization we've used to care for my elderly dad. There were times when they were short and management helped serve the residents food and wherever they could help out. The management staff would often work very long days to make sure each resident's needs were met in a timely fashion. This level of commitment and servant-leadership is rare in society today. We can hope and pray that they are an example for others, regardless of industry. If you have the opportunity to use this facility for your loved ones, you should.
