I went to Briarwood Continuing Care Retirement Community. Everything was nice. It was clean. It didn't have any foul odors. It looked modern and well-maintained. The person who accommodated me during the tour, her name is Tracy and was very nice and very knowledgeable. There were some people playing bingo. Some light exercise programs were going on. They were preparing to have some entertainment that evening. They had plenty of things going on, which was good. I was there when people were getting ready to eat dinner, and the dining facility was busy.

Very nice design - warm, welcoming people. Professional nursing/assistants. Nice apartments, wall paper, common areas. Clean. Nice gardens - nature areas.

I think they did a good job, the room was pretty large and she had no roomate. She was allowed to decorate it with her own pictures of her family and other things. The furniture was comfortable enough, and the view was nice. The staff seemed very skilled and knowledgable about her likes and dislikes as well as what care she needed. The only complaint I guess was that the food was not always the best. There were often activities for the residents just about every day I think, Bingo was popular and puzzles and board games were in the living areas. I did not like the hotel feel of the building though, did not seem very home like or warm.However, overall I think it was a good place to live in.
