From existing to thriving

My mom went from being by herself, trying to prepare her own food take her own garbage out, clean her own home and worried to drive anywhere to living with all of her friends having breakfast with all of her friends prepared for her off of a menu going to Walmart once a week with all of her friends playing cards with all of her friends, watching movies and listening to live music with all of our friends. It is truly life-changing. I would highly recommend to others. My mom is very happy. Doesn't have to worry about her meals or transportation, and has made lots of new friends.

Review for Whealdon Estates by Barclay House

Everything was excellent the facility and the people. Unfortunately my mom has no Internet service. That's the only complaint. I give the facility a 10 out of 10 they just remodeled it, I give the people a 10 out of 10 they love their residence. It's been one of the best moves we made for my mom. She has friends, she plays, rummy cube, she has activities. It's reversed her aging.

Review for Whealdon Estates by Barclay House

It is a Sr. Living place, but they're have an option to contract out if the resident needs a little more help. For example, remembering to take meds. They are just not a full assisted living. The price is reasonable and they have different options available. Three meals/day.

Review for Whealdon Estates by Barclay House

I visit there daily and would recommend highly. They recently changed the dining services giving it more of a restaurant type service with several more optional selections in the event you do not like part or all of what the regular menu is for that day. They all so serve 3 meals a day which when looking for a place I found the other places we looked at only serve 2.

Great Place for Mom

The people here are really nice from the staff to the residents. My mom loves that the housekeepers are 20+ year employees that really get to know the residents. They will even check on you if you don't make it to an event you usually attend (like a meal or bingo).

Life at Whealdon Estates

I am so pleased I made the choice to move from my home in North Myrtle Beach, SC to Whealdon Estates in Baton Rouge, LA! I had been living alone for 15 years and my family here wanted me close to them. We did due diligence and read reviews, did virtual tours, and finally visits. Whealdon is located in a bustling area of the city where crime rate is very low. It’s convenient to anything and everything. Keeping a car or Whealdon assisted transportation gets residents to doctors, shopping, etc. First, the friendliness of the residents was delightful. Second, the staff and administration won me over because of their desire to help. Third, the daily activities offer such a variety of choices. One can choose to remain close to the apartment and/ or participate in the activities. Whealdon is not glitzy or glamorous. The building is aging but gracefully. I am so happy living here. I regret I didn’t make this choice earlier. This is truly a family who cares and loves.

A wonderful place to reside

All the employees we spoke to were very nice and would answer any questions we had. My mother loves her apartment and has made new friends. She enjoys going down to meals and they have activities daily if you choose to go. It has a home type feeling in the community and highly recommend it.

Tour given was excellent when my family was guided by [name removed] through the facility. All of the staff were friendly and welcomely with many of the occupants greeting us and sharing the positive and caring environment with living there. Thor chef from the dining area even came out to welcome us after a delicious chicken meal I would recommend this Independent living community to anyone who is interested in a professionally run and nurturing place to call home. .

A great place for Seniors to retire to

The meals at Holiday Whealdon Estates are fantastic and are included in the rent! Family can visit and enjoy dinner with residents anytime. The staff are wonderful. They even offer on site doctor ordered Physical Therapy, which is great for my mom. The studio apartment is perfect for my mom. There's no upkeep. The activities are very enjoyable, as well and gets mom up. She no longer sleeps all day as prior to her move. I love Whealdon Estates! I even feel like family with the staff and residents. We are very pleased thus far.
