St. Barnabas Village is an independent-living community that keeps a medical safety net in place for residents who may need occasional help. A registered nurse is on call 24 hours a day, and the staff can accommodate residents younger than 60. While the community does not serve people with dementia, full assistance with bathing is available, and staff monitor residents who perform their own eating, dressing, and toileting. Residents who use walkers or wheelchairs can be transferred safely by trained personnel, making it possible to stay mobile throughout the day without having to leave the Village.

Safety and oversight extend beyond direct medical tasks. Staff members undergo background checks, and there is round-the-clock security as well as a pull-cord alert system that immediately notifies on-site personnel. An activity director plans scheduled events to encourage social interaction and physical activity, all within a building that is staffed 24/7 to respond to any issue that arises.

Apartments vary in layout but may include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and in-unit laundry. Residents are free to paint or decorate their rooms to match personal preferences, and cable service is available. Not every unit offers every feature, so it is important to review specific floor plans during a visit. Weekly housekeeping and laundry service are provided for all independent-living residents, allowing them to focus on daily routines rather than chores.

Meals follow a set menu with daily specials, and an on-order option lets residents request alternatives when desired. Snacks are supplied throughout the day, and in-room dining is available for anyone who prefers to eat privately. A formal private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions, ensuring flexibility without sacrificing convenience.

The campus includes resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge desk, library, pool, special-interest clubs, and scheduled transportation for medical appointments. High-speed internet keeps residents connected, and pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
