Message From General Manager

As General Manager, I am so very proud of our community.

Welcome and Thank you for your interest in Barrie Manor Enhanced Care Community.

We are currently moving through the most troubled time of our lives. COVID has made us all reassess the importance of our lives individually, professionally and as a family unit.

Since the beginning of March when we first closed our doors to visitors, we took every precaution to ensure that our residents stayed safe. We are to date, fortunate enough to have not had one case of cold, flu or the dreaded COVID. We take this seriously. Until the world opens completely, porch visits and facetime visits are what we offer to our families. They have been working well.

As General Manager, I am so very proud of our Assisted Living/Enhanced Care community. Since the purchase of Barrie Manor in December of 2015 we have not only made aesthetic changes to our home but have looked at what is needed within the Barrie community and made many changes to our care plan and accommodation options.

The #1 question on everyone�s mind is always about care. And rightly so. Barrie Manor is the only assisted living home that offers intermediary short-term accommodation while you await your long-term care placement.

Within our comfortable, safe environment we are pleased to offer ward, semi-private or private rooms. Our Wellness Manager is a licensed RPN and our Resident Care Partners are on staff to care for our residents 24/7, 365 days a year. We are well on our way to becoming the residence of choice when looking for true Assisted Living in Barrie.

Rest assured, we adhere strictly to all RHRA (Retirement Homes Regulatory Authority) standards and requirements as well as regular training, fire drills and stay up to date on everything we need to know to keep our residents safe and cared for.

When you meet with our Community Relations Manager, you will find her to be highly experienced and knowledgeable within the senior industry and she will endeavor to answer your questions and help you weave your way through the process.

And finally, we understand and acknowledge that loneliness and isolation are a unique risk factor for symptoms of depression, and loneliness and have a synergistic adverse effect on the well-being of older adults. Through planned social activities and outings, our residents are provided the opportunity to regularly interact with and enjoy the company of others.

I look forward to meeting you. If you have any questions or concerns, my door is always open.

P.S. During Covid we are accepting new residents but under strict precaution and procedure. Please all Diana Boyes for more information.

Call us about visitation rules. Patio visits, home visits, Essential Caregiver visits.
