Review for Whealdon Estates by Barclay House
I visit there daily and would recommend highly. They recently changed the dining services giving it more of a restaurant type service with several more optional selections in the event you do not like part or all of what the regular menu is for that day. They all so serve 3 meals a day which when looking for a place I found the other places we looked at only serve 2.

Great Place for Mom
The people here are really nice from the staff to the residents. My mom loves that the housekeepers are 20+ year employees that really get to know the residents. They will even check on you if you don't make it to an event you usually attend (like a meal or bingo).

Life at Whealdon Estates
I am so pleased I made the choice to move from my home in North Myrtle Beach, SC to Whealdon Estates in Baton Rouge, LA! I had been living alone for 15 years and my family here wanted me close to them. We did due diligence and read reviews, did virtual tours, and finally visits. Whealdon is located in a bustling area of the city where crime rate is very low. It’s convenient to anything and everything. Keeping a car or Whealdon assisted transportation gets residents to doctors, shopping, etc. First, the friendliness of the residents was delightful. Second, the staff and administration won me over because of their desire to help. Third, the daily activities offer such a variety of choices. One can choose to remain close to the apartment and/ or participate in the activities. Whealdon is not glitzy or glamorous. The building is aging but gracefully. I am so happy living here. I regret I didn’t make this choice earlier. This is truly a family who cares and loves.

All the employees we spoke to were very nice and would answer any questions we had. My mother loves her apartment and has made new friends. She enjoys going down to meals and they have activities daily if you choose to go. It has a home type feeling in the community and highly recommend it.

Awesome staff and facilities. Perfect place for my mom. She enjoys three fantastic meals a day. She love her new apartment. She says it’s like a cruise ship in land! She love meeting new friends and joking in on activities. There is always something to do. So glad we chose Whealdon as her new home.

Tour of Holiday Whealdon Estates
Tour given was excellent when my family was guided by [name removed] through the facility. All of the staff were friendly and welcomely with many of the occupants greeting us and sharing the positive and caring environment with living there. Thor chef from the dining area even came out to welcome us after a delicious chicken meal I would recommend this Independent living community to anyone who is interested in a professionally run and nurturing place to call home. .

A great place for Seniors to retire to
The meals at Holiday Whealdon Estates are fantastic and are included in the rent! Family can visit and enjoy dinner with residents anytime. The staff are wonderful. They even offer on site doctor ordered Physical Therapy, which is great for my mom. The studio apartment is perfect for my mom. There's no upkeep. The activities are very enjoyable, as well and gets mom up. She no longer sleeps all day as prior to her move. I love Whealdon Estates! I even feel like family with the staff and residents. We are very pleased thus far.

They take care of the people well. They go out of there way to help people, wherever they need help. The food that they serve, they go above and beyond, with the different times that they offer meals. The transportation system could be improved, for store visits, and outings.

An Awesome Home "Away From Home"
Twelve years ago, I visited Whealdon Estates in hopes of finding a facility where I could be comfortable, safe, relaxed, and cared for. When I entered the building there was a uniqueness regarding how I was immediately greeted and welcomed. Therefore, one week later I became a resident at Whealdon Estates and would not dare consider any other place to live. Twelve years later, that same atmosphere resonates throughout our building today and is why I always refer to Whealdon as “My Home Away From Home”. Our Manager, exhibits an attitude of professionalism, yet with tenderness, devotion, and compassion. She requires her entire staff to replicate those same behaviors. As a result, the food is delicious, the building is clean, the activities are fun and entertaining, and suggestions are heard and addressed. Without hesitation I strongly recommend Whealdon Estates and applaud our Manager and her entire team for the splendid and matchless job that they do for all of us.

Flawless experience
Mother lived at Whealdon Estates for last 4+ years. The staff was exceptional in every way. The facility is top notch. The residents truly have a community. The activities are plentiful, varied, and appropriate. When Mom’s health declined rapidly, the staff adapted to her needs, kept family informed, worked well with in-home hospice, and never failed to put Mom’s needs as the highest priority. They displayed a level of empathy that is all too rare.

It has been a wonderful experience working with the team at Whealdon. The staff treats eachother like family, and they extend that same mentality to their residents.

Musical entertainment
My name is Glenn Dale Fontenot aka Glenn, A Band Of One. I have been providing musical entertainment to the residents of the Whealdon Estates faculty in Baton Rouge, LA, by-monthly, for over five years. I have always noted that the staff is caring, friendly, very attentive, and most of all they give the utmost respect to the residents. While I am only there a couple of hours every other month the residents are always very happy and comfortable in that environment. Ms. [name removed], [name removed], [name removed], and all the staff are the most pleasant to work with of all the retirement entities I frequent. I have no doubt your loved ones will be well cared for by big hearted individuals in a first class facility when alternative living best suits your/their needs.

I had the pleasure of visiting the community during breakfast. I must say the chef did a shrimp benedict that was to die for! If I could just come to eat every morning I will. Go tour and try the meals for yourself. I will surely be going back, I know a friend that lives there!
