Lighthouse Pointe by Barclay House

Patricia

We toured Lighthouse Pointe by Barclay House. It was acceptable, but we didn't see much activity appear to be going on among the people there. I noticed they were having a meal and they just kind of spread out, and it didn't seem like there was much interaction between the people. We didn't see the interaction of the staff with the other people. The staff who took us around was very talkative and interested in asking a lot of questions and everything, and he did a fine job, but the atmosphere there was different. The only thing we did like was the arrangement of the rooms. It has a little better use of space. The facility was nice and clean.

I toured Lighthouse Pointe by Barclay House. It was wonderful. It would probably be my first choice if we went in that direction because of the location and the setting that it was in. I also interviewed residents who were sitting on the porch there and spoke with them, and they all loved it. I only met with one person, a gentleman named Kristoff. He was great and spent about three hours with me.

The staff was very warm in greeting me. The residents seemed pretty happy. The walking tour was very descriptive, and the tour guide was very efficient in answering all my questions. The bedroom units were very clean and the layouts were very efficient for seniors. I loved the fact that they had balconies and porches. The amenities were great. They had an on-site physical therapist. They had almost a 3-star fine dining restaurant-style dining room. They had games and activities, and they had a nice reading area. They had a shuttle service. They would provide maid services two times a week.

Lighthouse Pointe was a nice facility. For my mother's needs, it was accommodating. To me, that's more for independent seniors. But it's a beautiful facility and has beautiful staff. Very pleasant. I definitely would recommend them to other families, especially if they have a senior that's a little more active and a little more independent. I think they would find them to be a good option for them. The rooms were nice. They had rooms with bathrooms in them. The one that I looked at did not have any appliances at all. But they had a beautiful dining hall, and they offered snacks and things like that. You can tell the building was very well maintained. Just from the location itself, it was located in a very beautiful section of Chesapeake. The staff came in on his day off to do the tour for me, and I was impressed with that. The staff that was there on the day that I came in for the tour, was very warm, inviting, very friendly, and very helpful. I would highly recommend that to other families. It's just that for me, what I was looking for and what I needed from my mother, I just felt that it was not a good fit for her. The staff who toured me had a beautiful personality. They went above and beyond.

Lighthouse Pointe was a very friendly community. Everyone was extremely nice. The only reason I didn't go with that one was that the other place is closer to me for my dad. I saw a one-bedroom and a loft, and I wasn't impressed with the rooms. They were OK for what my dad needed; however, there was no stovetop. There was like a microwave and a fridge. It was a nice room, but the kitchen wasn't fully stocked with what I felt it should have. They had a man singing as I was there. It was their afternoon entertainment. He had a guitar and there was a whole bunch of people around. The amenities that they showed me were nice.

I went to Lighthouse Pointe. It was very nice, but that would be for somebody that was a little more independent than I felt like my mom was. We had a tour. We looked at an apartment or two. We looked at the dining facility and all the amenities that they had on site. It was very nice. I did not try the food, but Lighthouse had more of a restaurant feel; it was kind of neat. They had fitness equipment on site. They had apartments with patios, which is kind of nice and appealing. I had an overall favorable impression of it. I would recommend Lighthouse for independent living.
