“Both our mothers taught us the importance of preparing for Long Term Care, and they both lived at Wesley Manor in Frankfort, IN, a BHI Community. When we started researching options for ourselves, we were delighted to discover The Barrington’s location in Carmel. The community’s underground parking and pet-friendly policies were a huge plus, especially since we had a 13-year-old Golden Retriever. She not only joined us but also helped us meet and connect with wonderful new friends. The Barrington is such a friendly, welcoming place to now call home!”
