Barclay Friends

Barclay Friends sits in West Chester but isn't accepting new patients right now, and the place has a hospital, a diagnostic imaging center, and a physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic where people can get special care after time in a hospital, plus there's long-term nursing care and short-stay rehab if folks need extra support. The provider directory might show names of people and hospitals that are part of Providence Health Plan networks. The buildings follow standards that groups like The Joint Commission, Det Norske Veritas, Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program, or Center for Improvement in Healthcare Quality set, so care meets certain rules. The community offers assisted living, residential rooms, skilled nursing, and personal care services, and for those with Alzheimer's or memory problems, folks can find help in a dedicated Memory Care community that aims to support different needs. Residents find chances to stay busy or learn with lecture spaces, gardening areas, and horticultural therapy, and they can visit a beauty and barber salon or join wellness and fitness activities. The staff work in partnership with Functional Pathways, using in-house therapy to boost rehab outcomes. People there try to follow values from The Kendal System while keeping their own ways, looking to respect each person's independence and self-determination, and you'll see basic Quaker values shaping daily life and the feel of the place. Barclay Friends also aims to lift up diversity, equity, and inclusion, inviting different backgrounds into the community, while time for reflection, fun, or self-expression all matter too. Folks active on Facebook often share updates, and the community looks out for older people's rights, comfort, and dignity in a heartfelt, honest way, hoping to help both the people living at Barclay Friends and older people across the wider area.
