About Us
Barrie Manor Enhanced Care Community is a quaint, comfortable retirement community offering high levels of care. It is located on the East side of Barrie, just one block from Johnson Beach and a short 4-minute drive to Royal Victoria Hospital. The focus on enhanced care is the main benefit and reason to choose Barrie Manor for loved ones. Since December of 2015, aesthetic changes have been made to the home, and the community has adapted to the needs within the Barrie area, making numerous changes to care plans and accommodation options. The residence is committed to the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of its residents, striving to offer the highest levels of care in a supportive and nurturing environment, while treating residents and staff with dignity and respect.
Levels of Care
Barrie Manor offers a variety of care levels including Respite Care, Essential Care, Progressive Care, and Enhanced Care. Respite Care provides short-stay programs to assist at-home caregivers. Essential Care offers residents the opportunity to live with independence and dignity, with flexible all-inclusive care plans for those requiring low to medium assistance. Progressive Care provides the highest levels of care possible within Barrie, assisting with activities of daily living and more intensive needs. Enhanced Care includes additional services beyond the Progressive Care Plan, catering to residents needing extra care such as behavioral management and infection control.
