    Friendly, attentive staff; clean facility

    My mother is doing wonderful here - friendly, attentive staff who clearly care, an extremely clean, cheery facility, and a convenient location close to family. The building, apartments and activities are great and the price is very reasonable compared with other options. Food is generally good and sometimes excellent, but I wish there were more fresh fruit, larger portions at times, and clearer meal inclusions (only one meal is included). Biggest drawbacks have been spotty communication (unreturned calls, delayed follow-up), occasional medication scheduling lapses, limited transportation days, and less proactive encouragement to join activities. Overall I'd recommend Barrington of Fort Thomas for many families, though it may not suit advanced dementia or those needing more one-on-one nursing.

The staff encourage residents to stay active, join in social gatherings, and take part in both come-and-go activities and a set schedule of group events, whether that's fitness classes with a full-time physical therapist in their fitness center, happy hours, or outings into the local community, whether to meals or appointments, with transportation options that help with errands and outings even if the service is sometimes limited. Folks with needs around bathing, dressing, transfers, or taking medicine get help from trained caregivers, and the home care service lets seniors get some attention for things like meal prep and companionship even in their own home, and the on-site medical team can offer 12 to 16 hours of nursing cover each day, with a call system always on for help, and support for aging in place means residents don't have to move again as needs change since care steps up as health changes.
