The Barrington

901 Seminole Boulevard in Largo, a mid-Pinellas County city between Clearwater and the Gulf beach communities, is home to The Barrington, a 95-bed community. Ninety-five beds places this facility close to the large campus-scale tier, generally meaning multiple resident wings, a dedicated activities department, and a care staff large enough to work in shifts around the clock. Largo sits inland from Indian Rocks Beach and Belleair, giving residents' families beach access without the traffic of Pinellas County's more tourist-heavy coastal strip. A community of this size is worth touring at more than one time of day, since staffing levels can vary noticeably between a daytime visit and an evening one. Families should ask how the facility organizes residents by care level and how transfers between levels are handled.
