The Vista at Hammock Cove - Naples, Florida

Cathie J.

Mom entered the assisted living facility Barrington Terrace of Fort Myers in March of 2020. When hurricane Ian was an imminent threat in September of 2022, she was transferred to Barrington Terrace of Naples, now The Vista at Hammock Cove. In 2024, there were three back-to-back named storms I cannot say enough about the emergency preparedness policy and procedures they have in place. Via text message, email and/or telephone call, family is always informed of what is happening.

Mom was eventually transferred from assisted living to memory care. The memory care Director, Julie Carver, has consistently gone above and beyond to keep Mom safe, engaged and happy! Julie was always available to answer questions either in person, on the telephone or via email. The compassion she expresses to residents is heartwarming and very much appreciated. The programs she has instituted keep these residents engaged. When visiting Mom, Julie would share with me the conversations and laughs she had with Mom; which were quite frequent. Julie is hands on in every aspect. I've seen her assist with helping families arrange rooms, organize closets, get laundry sorted, sit with residents to just hold a hand. During Mom's transition, Julie could not have been more comforting and thoughtful - Vista is lucky to have her!

Laura Gonzalez, the Business Office Director, was extremely helpful during the transition from Barrington Terrace to Vista. Always available to review invoices and efficiently handle all questions, requests and make corrections with the new agency.

Vista at Hammock Cove is an exemplary Assisted Living/Memory Care facility.

Barrington of Naples has been great for the needs of my dad at this stage of his life. The entire staff there have worked to help in the transition which is the most difficult for my dad.
Juli Carver (Memory Care Director) has been great! Very compassionate and caring. She is very personable and has truly been a blessing to have for my dad. Sometimes it’s the little things that count! Dad being a muscle car enthusiast and loves to talk about cars etc, Juli showed him her own hot rod! Any issues that arise are communication and addressed. Thank you again Barrington and staff!

I want to express my deepest appreciation to a fine staff member. She has helped me and my mother with some medical challenges since she came to Barrington Terrace. She is always available on her mobile phone to talk. This is Julie Carver. Julie has made changes to improve my mother’s unit. She has been doing elderly care for 22 years. As long as Julie is on staff, residents will have superb treatment. Thank you so much Julie!! God bless you!!

I can’t do another separate review so I am adding some comments on another excellent staff member. This is Laura Gonzales who handles the billing and bookkeeping. Thanks 🙄 to Google for their short sightedness.

Laura has helped with several billing issues and acted as a valuable benefactor for my mom. She always calls me back when I leave her a message. Life for us and Laura would be much easier if the online bill payment resources worked properly. Maybe this will be improved under the new facility ownership? Responsible family representatives need to strongly advise them to do this, as well as to retain key quality personnel like Laura and Julie.

My family and I very much appreciated the care of our husband and father.Julie Carver and the Evergreen staff were so kind to us. Avow Hospice was wonderful and my husband was comfortable for the time he was a resident at Barrington Terrace. We were grateful to Julie, the nurses and aides who took such good care of him.

Mom has been At Barrington Terrace for 7 months and has adjusted beautifully. Our journey started with visits to Anne and we knew instantly that this was the perfect new home for her.
There are plenty of activities and the meals are very good. The chef, Ernesto, even reached out to me for her favorites. Each staff member from the front desk to care givers and everyone in between knows each resident by name and who I am when I walk through the door. It is a truly personal, welcoming experience. You will see lots of residents out and about, possibly Willow, the resident dog, and maybe some live music and a sing along!
I will say that there was a couple weeks adjustment period and I can’t tell you how appreciative I am to Linda, Care Director, who is brilliant at thinking outside the box. She looked at our own personal experience and made adjustments that transitioned Mom smoothly.
Mom is in the perfect place and I am so thankful for the peace of mind Barrington Terrace has provided.
Blessings,
JoAnn

Our Dad has been at Barrington Terrace for 2 months now and is very happy. The staff is extremely friendly, competent and responsive. He needs a high level of assistance and no other place comes close to Barrington in meeting those needs. We toured over 10 places in and around the Naples area and it became obvious that Barrington was the best place for my Dad. We love that it is on the smaller side and the responsiveness and genuine caring from the staff, especially the head of nursing, has been fabulous. If your loved one needs “heavy” assisted living, know that there are very few places who can back up what they promise you up front. Unfortunately we had to learn that the hard way. We are so grateful to the Barrington family for giving us peace of mind knowing our Dad is so well cared for. Keep up the great work… so many families are depending on you!

Very recently my brother and I were faced with the difficult task to place our 96 yr old mother into assisted living, after living independently for her entire life. Barrington Terrace was our place of choice. The warm and friendly staff and bright surroundings provided a comfort of home inviting atmosphere. The marketing and nursing team went over and beyond in welcoming mom to her new home. What we thought to be a difficult transition for mom, has turned out to be the very Best Choice for mom's physical and emotional well-being. Thank you Barrington Terrace of Naples for giving us the reassurance of knowing our mom is being cared for with kindness and dignity by the entire staff!

Assisted living is big business, and when you entrust a place to take care of your loved one (my mother in this case), you want a place with caring and compassionate employees above all else. Nadege was wonderful in the way she could help keep my mom as calm as possible when Mom was experiencing sundowning syndrome. Nadege has a naturally calming and compassionate demeanor, and I am eternally grateful for her kindness to Mom. Maila was also great in the way she kept my family up-to-date on Mom's medical status. And Julie, the director of Memory Care, was always responsive in returning phones calls when I had questions or needed help with paperwork, and also was good about reaching out to me whenever necessary to update me on how Mom was doing. Mom spent her final year in Barrington Terrace, and while it was difficult to see her decline physically and then mentally, I am grateful to their employees (including plenty of others---from the front desk and onward) for being so friendly during what was a difficult time period for us. God bless.
