We invite you to become a resident of The Barclay at SouthPark and embrace the joy of life. We provide our residents with an array of engaging activities, so they can thrive in retirement and feel their best in all areas of wellness — the key to a longer, happier life, according to The National Institute on Aging.

Resident Maxey Sanderson knows this firsthand. Spending his career in finance, he never knew he had a knack for creativity. “I’d never had the time to play,” he says. “Now I have the opportunity to do that.”

During a watercolor class, Sanderson painted a print of Layla, his beloved Shih Tzu, for his annual Christmas card. It drew the admiration of other residents, and before long, he received requests to paint pictures of their pets too. Staying engaged and interested in the world around him has helped Sanderson cope with the loss of his wife and maintain a positive outlook.

“Painting is something that occupies my mind,” he says. “It gives me a chance to be creative.” Another plus: Having a lovely watercolor of Layla on the cover of a greeting card enables Sanderson to send the positive vibes he’s found at The Barclay out into the world.

Should their healthcare needs change in the future, residents at The Barclay can take comfort knowing they have priority access to Briar Creek Health Center. There, a full spectrum of care is offered, including assisted living, memory-support services, skilled nursing and Medicare-certified short-term rehabilitation.

The Barclay at SouthPark believes in retirement living to the fullest. It’s not just a place to live, but a place to love. Visit BarclayatSouthpark.com to learn more and schedule a tour today!
