I have a loved one staying here and every time I visit he has nothing but good things to say! The staff are friendly and welcoming and treat the residents like their own family. The facility is always clean and offers a very comfortable setting. I would 100% recommend Briarwood to anyone looking for a personal care home.

We have chosen Briarwood Senior Living for my mother because of the size of the facility, which was the most important thing for us. It's a very small facility. I think that my mother is going to get a higher level of attention than I think she needs. The staff member who toured me was very friendly and very informative. There seemed to be a close bond between the staff and the residents there. I did not try the food. I saw the menu, and all I can see right now appears to be OK. It's not a newer type of building, but there are many facilities there for my mother. One thing that I think she's going to enjoy is the salon that they have. They have somebody come in to do hair care and things like that. Everything else seemed to be fine. There's a dining area. They don't really have a gym, but I think they have an area where they can do physical therapy with the residents over there. Everything seemed to be clean. There's an outdoor porch type area that they can sit at. There's a backyard that we didn't really look at too closely because it was a little rainy that day when we were there, so we didn't really look at it. But there's a backyard type of area for the residents to walk around at.

Briarwood Senior Living helped my love one in so many ways. We are a tight knit and very close small family. Briarwood recognized that and became a member of our fam. Everyone is so polite and helpful. We are all on a first name basis there and my loved one is always attended to with 5 star care. The rooms are pristine and very comfortable and the food is terrific. But most of all the family atmosphere we get from everyone is above all. What a truly amazing place. Thank you Briarwood for all that you do and continue to do!!

My aunt and uncle were/are both residents there. My uncle continues to live there. The staff are accommodating and amazing. They care deeply for the residents as if they were their own family. The food is good and they give generous portions. The staff works closely with families regarding patient care in all aspects (medications, vaccinations, well-being, healthcare, and many other areas). The rooms are spacious and safety is a priority. Residents enjoy a myriad of activities such as games, music, community relations interactions, celebrations and many more!

I had to place my uncle at Briarwood. He loved it. The staff was attentive. He had great fun. To me it was the best place for him. Small number of residents. Personal attention. He was there over three years until he passed away. He actually passed away in the arms of a staff member. So loving and personal. Great home!

I went to visit a friend at Briarwood Manor. His memory is good. He had a horrible accident, but he is cognitively impaired. For somebody who needs that and is in that state, it was nice enough. It's small, and I think they have very good care. I found it terribly depressing, but it was like a home. It was almost like a house. It was as if maybe 8 or 12 people were living together in a home. Everybody had their own bedroom. It was very clean. and it was very country. I didn't get the impression that it was ultramodern. It was almost as if you're staying in a country farmhouse. The upkeep was very nice. The staff were very good. They're very caring and very loving. This is definitely assisted facility. There's a lot of help there with good help for each person. I don't know what their activities are.

I toured Briarwood Senior Living for my mother and to be honest with you, I didn't like anything of it. Everyone there looked like they were in a coma. They were just sitting around, not talking, not doing anything. They were just sitting and watching the television. Nobody spoke. And the facility was old. It's just one building to everything. I toured for assisted living. It's a big house and two floors. But I would never put my mother there. The staff was pleasant. I just did not like the facility. It didn't look like they had much of anything, and it didn't look like they offered too much.

Extremely pleased with Briarwood and its staff. We looked at a number of facilities for my grandmother but decided on Briarwood for its cleanliness and the freindliness of it's staff. We were all treated with such respect and consideration that we felt like home. i was informed that the building is under new award managegement which explains the good results. My family couldn't be more grateful for the good work you all do, thank you guys!!

Sometimes you are truly blessed enough to find a place where you can take a loved one for the intensive care they need and go home and sleep at night knowing that all is well. I have found such a place for my elderly Aunt in Briarwood Manor. It is immaculately clean, delightfully decorated, and a pleasure to be in. The caretakers are exceptionally pleasant and upbeat and seem to know just what to say to deal with difficult times for my Aunt. They have been very attentive to both my Aunt's physical and emotional needs. From the "pet therapy", to the local girl scouts who came to sing, to the efforts to get my Aunt to recover her oil painting skills, they have gone far beyond my expectations. The administration has kept in very close touch with me and has been entirely responsive to any question I had or need perceived. What an outstanding place!!!
