  My favorite aunt recently stayed at Alden of Barrington until her death. Se was 92. I visited her at least three times a week for about four months until she passed. I'm a curious fellow and some would say I'm pretty detailed. I looked closely at this Alden facility in Barrington that my cousin put my aunt into.
  
  I found the staff from upper management to the assistant nurses all kind, compassionate, and knowledgeable people within the scope of their particular job. I wanted to mention a few names in management that I had more then a few conversations with. Cynthia the head of nursing, Kathy B who runs the facility and especially Sheri C who I'm not sure what her position is, all i know is she was always there when I needed someone. She's an outstanding communicator and always followed up on what she promised me for my aunt. I would put Cynthia and certainly Kathy right in there also as people I could rely on whenever I had questions about her care, diet, or medication. I found the food, service, response time, therapy, and the facility itself to be just fine.
  
  I often thought of the other patients there and their level of care. It looked to me like they were taken care of very well. I thought of also why they were there, a number of different reasons. I guess this facility takes all but only a few of the types of patients who need care. So lets remember, this is not a hospital. Quite often they receive patients where their stay and insurance is up from the hospital and this is their only alternative. Or the hospital could unfortunately do nothing further for the patient. Individuals who have to receive some type of therapy for their recovery. People who are paralyzed or in some way 90% incapacitated, or even wards of the state. And finally people who come to Barrington for some level of assisted living;...a nursing home to permanently stay and feel good, respected, taken care of, and maintain their sense of dignity.
  
  Remember our loved ones come to these facilities because their not doing well.This puts a lot of strain on us and we run with a high level of emotion. We"re angry, we're upset, we're tired, and we are at some level of grieving for our loved one.
  
  So Alden of Barrington not only takes care of the patient, but us, the grieving loved ones. I've seen it again and again. In my humble opinion they get a solid 5 stars for both. For my wonderful aunt I couldn't of been more pleased where she spent the last months of her life. I know she would feel the same about it too, not only because she had 100% trust in me but because she felt it too.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  A loved one of a loved one
