The Barclay at Charlottesville offers independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care for seniors who want comfort, safety, and a full social life, and while the services and features can feel almost endless, folks can really make their spaces their own since the private suites come with different senior-friendly floor plans, modern appliances, and lots of natural light, and residents are welcome to bring their own furnishings and pets. There are many spaces for gathering, like a chapel, worship room, a library, a movie theater, a community room, an on-site pub and bistro, billiards room, card and game spaces, computer rooms, a heated indoor saltwater pool, a fitness center, a spa and salon, even a golf simulator, with outdoor seating areas, gardens, and courtyards for fresh air and time with neighbors or family. Chefs cook meals from scratch, a registered dietitian guides the menu, and choices are served restaurant-style in both formal and private dining rooms, with a bistro offering 24-hour snacks, and residents get housekeeping, laundry, and linen services.
The assisted living area supports each resident with help for daily needs while encouraging independence, and nurses and care staff - including LPNs - are onsite around the clock for wellness visits, medication management (including for diabetes), and emergencies, and residents can use a pendant for quick assistance whenever they need it. Memory care is designed for those with Alzheimer's or dementia, with specially trained staff, secure areas, memory boxes at each door, easy-to-find common spaces, and programs-inspired by technologies like iN2L-meant to keep folks active and engaged. The Barclay also has onsite therapy and rehab, plus transportation services for appointments or outings. Residents and families can take part in educational and support programs, and a full activities calendar includes social, creative, and educational events, evening happy hours, and fitness classes, all set up by lifestyle professionals through programs like Aspire Wellness and Elements.
The community stays pet-friendly, fully accessible, and connected with high-speed internet, and safety is supported by controlled access and 24-hour emergency maintenance. Suites are spacious, with up to 33 floor plan styles to choose from. Residents can keep a busy or relaxed schedule, depending on their preferences, and they can count on on-site help, daily meal choices, beautiful grounds, and enough lifelong learning, entertainment, and opportunities for connection to suit many different interests or abilities. With its award recognitions, the Barclay at Charlottesville aims to make senior living comfortable, safe, and active for those who want a little help with daily life or who need specialized care.
