Resident Stories
When I first chose Barclay Friends to be mom’s home, I did so because I sensed an alignment of your values and our values. Through the years, I have witnessed those values in action in the care that you give to mom…and me.
In this time of separation from mom, Barclay Friends continues to live those values in everything you do, giving my mom all the care, attention, and love that she needs. I take great comfort in that.
