The facility is beautiful, clean. & well setup. The staff are very kind, knowledgeable, and helpful. I was invited to join the meal that was being served. The food was delicious and the kitchen manager was so sweet. It was wonderful to see her engaging and interacting with the residents.

November 30, 2023Hi Sara, We are so happy you got to eat lunch with us and see our community! Thank you for your visit. We hope to see you again soon!
This is the first senior care facility we have needed to select and have been extremely pleased in the short time of moving our loved in. It provides the normal care but what separates Briarwoood out from the rest is the personal care for each resident from the maintenance, food staff, doctor, nurses, physical therapists as well as the administration staff. Each person knows the residents by their first name and makes them feel special. There is a lot of knocks on resident doors by staff for a friendly hello with a smiling face throughout the day as well as genuine words of encouragement as the residents take part in the many structure facility activities. It is a very positive atmosphere and it is clear the staff members are compassionate, hard working, individuals that enjoy working for the facility and making a difference in the life of others.

I like the place. Everyone is friendly. I think they need more activities for the memory care community to occupy them more. Otherwise, it's a good place for her.I felt my mom would be comfortable at Briarwood. And it's not to far to travel to see her.

Please call the community and ask to speak to the Executive Director to discuss your feedback. Thank you!
My wife had been in another facility in another town. She wouldn't socialize and just stayed in her room. My daughter and I toured Briarwood and were immediately impressed with the staff and the facility. She now is out and about, socializing eating with the other residents and just seems happy. Our family is happy that she's happy.

Briarwood was a lot better. Mom looked better than she had in years while at Briarwood .They really did a nice job keeping the room clean. Mom was hit with Dementia very hard the last 6-8 weeks of her life and she was miserable. They did what they could to help her. I think all assisted living facilities are way over priced.
