At Barkley Place, we strive to provide the best value in senior living – whether you choose Independent Living   or Assisted Living .

Independent Living:

• Barkley Place is an exceptionally good value compared to the cost of maintaining your own home, especially combined with all the services that are included -- along with your beautiful apartment -- in the monthly service fee. Examples of included services are scheduled transportation, daily activities, housekeeping, linen laundry service, interior and exterior maintenance, concierge service, and a 24-hour staff that is friendly and attentive.
• Monthly fees are based on the apartment size and style you choose and there are a variety of options to suit a variety of needs and budgets.
• All taxes, utilities and services are included, except for phone and cable – another great value.
• As a full-service, rental community Barkley Place has no large Entrance Fee so there is the additional value of staying in control of your finances.
• The perfect home base for an active lifestyle, Barkley Place offers a flexible dining plan so you can take advantage of chef-prepared meals when desired and not pay for required meals when you are busy or out-of-town.
• A full calendar of social, educational and recreational opportunities is also included in the monthly fee as well as wellness services such as blood pressure and other health screenings and senior-friendly fitness equipment.
• Convenience is another aspect of value. Having all the community amenities at your fingertips such as the community store, the social room, entertainment room and on-site beauty/barber shop. 
• There is also the incalculable value of peace of mind. Knowing you are increasing your quality of life. Freeing yourself from the stress and dangers of home upkeep such as lawn and yard maintenance, swimming pool maintenance, negotiating risky ladders or basement stairs – even managing contractors for home or appliance repairs.
• And, should it ever be needed for you or your spouse, Assisted Living services are right on campus.
• Ask your community representative for a free worksheet to help you compare your current living expenses to the increased independence of Barkley Place.  

Assisted Living: 

• Barkley Place Assisted Living is an exceptionally good value for the depth and breadth of personalized holistic care and service residents receive – much more than could be accomplished in a non-group setting.
• Residents receive the value of a highly trained team committed to providing gentle, respectful care. 
• A personalized Assistance, Service and Care Plan is developed for each resident. Monthly fees are tailored based on the level of personal assistance required. Monthly fees include the determined level of personal assistance as well as the apartment, community amenities, activity programs, and housekeeping, meals, linen laundry, 24-hour concierge, and scheduled transportation services.
• The health and wellness value of social interaction cannot be over-estimated. A full-time Program Director is dedicated to creating a full calendar of social opportunities and activities to stimulate the mind, body and spirit.
• Assisted living includes the peace of mind of having a nurse available 24 hours a day.
• Potential Tax Deductibility   advantage. Please consult your tax advisor for eligibility for this deduction.
• Assisted Living is also a good value when compared to the cost of contracted in-home care, which not only can be more expensive but cannot provide the well-rounded, holistic care of Assisted Living at Barkley Place.
• Ask your community representative for a free worksheet to help you compare current living expenses plus in-home care to Assisted Living at Barkley Place.
