The Barclay at Pasadena has a modern design with several options for senior living, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care services, and they also provide skilled nursing and home care including non-medical and Medicare-certified home health care, so if residents need more support as time goes by, they can usually stay put without moving elsewhere. The community lets residents live with their cats or dogs, which is helpful for those who want to keep a pet close by, and residents can also get help from a full-time activities team that schedules outings, field trips, and regular daily events, keeping people involved with something to do almost every day. The place is part of the Retirement Unlimited Inc. group, and the design is new, with comfortable, elegant studio and one-bedroom apartments that come with kitchenettes and private bathrooms, all laid out so residents can feel at home but still get what they need.
Residents can visit the beauty salon to keep themselves looking neat, and there are special areas outside, with water views, patio seating, gardens for strolls, and a common area with comfortable chairs, a grand piano, and even a beach-themed mural to remind people of the coast. The dining scene is something folks talk about, as there's a formal restaurant-style room with chef-prepared meals served using real china and glassware, and there's a wide spread of food options, covering everything from cafes, tea rooms, bakeries, and ice cream shops, to restaurants with Asian, Vietnamese, Sichuan, soul food, pizza, and classic American food, and they even listen to what residents want on the menu. There's also a library, a swimming pool, a fitness room, and places to hang out with neighbors, and the concierge can help with any extras, like arranging services or pointing visitors to accommodations, as the property includes all sorts of places to stay, from standard hotel rooms up to villas and resorts.
For care, they've got a team on site all day and night, with registered and licensed nurses who take care of medication, diabetic care, and high-acuity support, and every resident can get a pendant to call for help any time, anywhere on the grounds, which helps families worry less. They take a hands-on approach with people who have mild cognitive impairment or dementia, offering specialized programs for memory care, along with support for daily living needs and incontinence care. Folks who like to keep busy can join a daily calendar of events, both on and off site, so there's usually a chance to be social, try something fun, or just join a group for a field trip to go shopping or enjoy some nightlife.
With licensed capacity for up to 175 residents, The Barclay at Pasadena tries to keep a safe and lively environment where people can connect, share activities, and stay as independent as possible. The place gets rated on safety and livability, and the staff focus on helping each resident keep up with their health and happiness. The whole set-up leans into comfort and convenience, with accessible places to gather, enjoy a meal, relax, and spend time with friends, and families visiting can usually find everything needed right on site.
