The Barclay Friends Difference

• Cultivate the Arts and Gardens focuses on music, dance, theater, the creative arts and horticultural therapy.  Lovely gardens and a grove are pleasant places where the beauty of nature can be appreciated. Additional recreation programs include physical fitness, trips to nearby communities, games and holiday celebrations.

• A full continuum of care providing residential and assisted living, rehabilitation, and nursing care is available in one community.  Woolman residential and assisted living residents can usually be accommodated in the Cotter nursing neighborhoods as the need arises.  They do not face the uncertainty or the ordeal of searching for a new care facility, but may remain in the community that is already their home.

• Couples with differing care needs may live in the same community, receiving health care services according to individual needs.  Apartments in Woolman can accommodate those needing either residential or assisted living.

• Resident's families are considered an important part of the Barclay Friends’ extended family.  Administrative staff listens openly and work actively to find solutions to concerns.

• Dining services enhance the lifestyle of each resident.  Three delicious meals and snacks are provided daily.  Breakfast is offered at flexible hours in the Turks Head Cafe. Residents enjoy waited service for the dinner and supper hours with entrée selections from their menu for each meal. Alternate meals are available for any meal and may include special dietary needs. Guests are always welcome.

• Providing excellent care without the use of restraints is a hallmark of Barclay Friends' philosophy.

• Alzheimer's care is a special area of concern and expertise for Barclay Friends.  Our many years of experience in providing superior care with minimal restrictions to residents with dementia are widely recognized. 

• Generations on Line TM, a software program that enables residents to e-mail family members, answer questions posted by school children, and access the Internet is available on site.
