What happens if Mom or Dad’s money runs out?
Barclay Friends is Medicaid certified. We have never asked a resident to leave because his or her money ran out.
Do all residents get physical therapy?
The Recreation Department at Barclay Friends provides residents with a daily exercise program that is built into each resident’s care plan. Physical therapy is joint-specific and is requested by an orthopedic doctor.
Can I bring my own furniture and belongings?
Yes, we encourage you to bring your own furniture and belongings to make your residence, your new home. Since personal belongings are not covered by Barclay Friend’s insurance policy, renter’s insurance is highly recommended.
What is the difference between Assisted Living and Personal Care?
This is a common point of confusion in our industry. We detailed the differences between the two living options in our blog. Barclay Friends now offers Personal Care.
Are pets allowed? Can outside pets visit?
Residents are permitted to have a pet under 30 pounds live with them, with the approval of the Administrator for Preston. All pets will need to have a current rabies certificate (if applicable) and other documentation.
