Review for The Gardens at Barry Road

Overall experience since May 2026 I would give them a 5. Activities are great both in house and trips in the van. The community has just been updated with painting, lighting, flooring and it looks very nice. The nurse in charge has been very helpful with reports I requested to see how my mom's daily BP, medicines, etc were doing. We had an issue with mainly morning help for mom, just recently, and we sat down with the nurse to hear our side. I feel it has helped and we shouldn't have to worry about things like that. The food is good. More than enough. The price for guests to eat is only $5! Great. The cleaning and laundry people do a wonderful job. Front desk ladies always a smile and very helpful. The outside is kept up very nicely with lawn care and flowers. The staff is friendly. Another important plus for this facility was that there is weekly church and a weekly Bible study. I can't give all that to my parents because mom is pretty much in a wheelchair. I'm happy this community is here

My parent has blossomed at the gardens.

The amount of activities is wonderful and everyone is genuinely friendly. On the negative, my mother has frequent bladder infections and they were slow to believe her and get a sample tested.

I was pleased with the people that helped me see and understand their facilities and how they worked with the people in residence there. I have one or two more facilities to check out and I then plan to meet with my attorney on the [date removed] to make sure I am doing everything I should be doing. I will update you after I meet with the attorney.

Review for The Gardens at Barry Road

There is always room for improvement. Overall, it has been a great environment for Dean's mom. The apartment sizes are great. She seems to like the food. The staff that we have interacted with are wonderful. The only other feedback for improvement would be to have some communication about outside services that we get billed for. I'm talking about the podiatrist, it would be helpful to have some kind of confirmation of service so we know that the billing is valid.

A Tragic and Concerning Experience

My mother was a resident at this facility for less than one month, and our experience was deeply troubling. During the short period, she required emergency transport to the hospital on two separate occasions. Her final hospitalization transition directly into hospice care and she passed away. On our visits, it was apparent that the facility was significantly understaffed. This lack of concern was evident at the management level as well. When I spoke with the director of nursing on the day of my mother’s final hospital trip, she seemed dismissive of my concern that this was the second time in less than a week that my mother had to be sent out by ambulance. The most critical failure in care occurred on my mother’s last day there. The staff waited nearly 24 hours to call for an ambulance, despite her being unable to get out of bed. We later discovered she was suffering from three distinct infections. This delay in seeking medical attention is unacceptable. I cannot recommend this facility

Our family's experience

I believe that this truly is the best value in the northland. It looks like a senior living resort. It's clean, the staff are friendly. I wish some of the monthly costs could have been pointed out more especially for a resident on a very tight budget.

A true blessing

The Gardens at Barry Road has been a true blessing to our family. My dad very difficult to get along with, and we had to remove him from 3 other homes. The Gardens made it work and went out of their way. The last few months of his life, he drank and ate mostly baloney sandwiches and 7up. They kept us well informed of his latest changes or cravings.

Review for The Gardens at Barry Road

Ask for an additional charge list. Certain diagnosis (I.e. memory issues) require payment for med management or an additional charge for special services (i.e. daily blood pressure monitoring). There is a fee for a pet which can be waived if it is a certified comfort animal. The menu sometimes does not appear to include MDR for protein. Ask about specific services from visiting nurse practitioner or physician. Ask if music is available during chapel services. Dining services are slow due to staff inefficiency.

A life well lived

It is a wonderful faith based facility that lives their mission everyday. The room sizes are great - the 'suite' felt like a mini apartment with a kitchenette, seating area bath and bed area. The only questionable thing was having full carpet in living areas vs some type of hard surface covering. In a true and astonishing story: i moved her from a more expensive place where her care was adequate, but not outstanding. not long after her relocation (as noticed by several people) she actually improved! her demeanor, countenance and attitude was up lifted. I also think she was just plain happier:)

Best Northland Facility

I struggle to find my father a place until I found The Gardens @ Barry Road. The first time I walked in with Dad I knew that this was the place where he would be cared for. The staff is amazing, they listen, they are very friendly with the residents. I absolutely love how each of the staff members acknowledge visitors and make them feel welcome. The meals provided our delicious and there are so many options to choose from. This is one place that I have ever felt comfortable with the care provided for my dad.

Have mom living at the Gardens at Barry Road. They offer the best amenities, trained staff and well tailored food of any Senior care facility I ever visited. I absolutely hate having to place mom outside our home and I continue to struggle with my decision, yet it is obvious she is getting the care she needs from these great people.

Assisted Living at The Gardens

My parents were at The Gardens briefly a few years ago until Mom needed memory care (and there wasn’t any room at Thw Gardens so we had to move facilities). Recently, my dad has needed more care / oversight and since mom’s passing, has been very lonely. He is really enjoying his time there again. There have been a few hiccups but the staff are easy to work with and easy to approach with questions and concerns.

Better than most.

Better than some others I looked at. The food was only a 5 out of 10. The staff tried to help when I wasn't there. The only thing I can say is be there as much as you can. Your loved one gets better help if your around. My wife never fell out of her wheelchair while I was around, but I had to go out of town and they called my daughter in law and told her my wife had fallen 3 times out of.her wheelchair. So make your own decision.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Missouri’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
