Barclay Friends is dedicated to continuing to improve the care of the aging in the wider community.
Basic Quaker values are reflected in the manner of care we provide. We strive to honor the spirit, humanness, and basic rights of each older person. We respond faithfully to the needs of older people: the need for independence and self determination, the need to feel connected, and the need to have opportunities for learning, fun, reflection, and self expression. The Kendal affiliates Values and Practices further explains our values and the spirit of community at Barclay Friends.
Barclay Friends' innovative cluster design promotes a residential feeling while reinforcing the resident's orientation and a sense of belonging. The design features four "communities," one dedicated to residential and assisted living and three to skilled and long-term care. Each have their own common space and service space, plus access to central areas and amenities. Design organized into "communities" promotes informal social interaction and sharing of resources.
Easily accessible common spaces invite residents at every level of care to join Barclay Friends' life in a natural, self-determined manner. Common areas include an activity room, two dining rooms, an occupational and physical therapy center, salon/barber shop, laundry room, administrative offices, and outdoor gardens. Services and amenities are centralized and are readily accessible to family members, to staff, and to residents of all capabilities.
