Briarwood Senior Living is a small, award-winning personal care home set in an old Victorian house, offering a warm, homelike feeling, and the staff treat residents like family, always with a friendly word or helpful hand, which seems important when folks want to feel comfortable and cared for. The building is single-story and fully wheelchair accessible, so it's easy to move around, with indoor and outdoor common spaces for relaxing or visiting. Residents can choose from private, deluxe private, or friendship suites, and pets are welcome too, which can bring comfort and familiarity for many. The focus is on providing round-the-clock supervision and comprehensive senior living care, whether someone needs daily help with bathing or dressing, support managing medications, or special services like hospice and diabetic care. There's a purpose-built memory care section in a separate, secure building for anyone living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and that includes technology like bracelets that ring alarms if someone tries to leave, so they stay safe.
Staff can help with everything from basic care to 1-person and 2-person transfers, even mechanical lifts, and they're used to helping residents who might wander or have difficult behaviors. Nurses are always around, and there's a doctor who can be called when needed. Briarwood supports aging in place, offering care that changes as residents' needs change, with short-term respite stays and adult day care programs for those who aren't ready for full-time living. For meals, they serve nutritious food right in the home, and residents can choose from kosher or vegetarian options, too, when that's important to them. There is parking for residents and visitors, transportation is available for an extra cost, and the facility is laid out to make it easy for folks with different levels of mobility, including wheelchair-accessible showers and tubs.
Activities happen onsite and offsite, to keep life interesting, social, and active, whether someone joins group devotional services, watches a movie, or heads out for community fun. There's a beautician on hand for hair and personal care, which can feel like a treat, and housekeeping is handled as well. Briarwood's staff have been there a long time, bringing a sense of stability and kindness, and the place has won awards like Best of Senior Living and the All-Star Award for its care. Residents get help that fits their unique needs, and every service aims to make things easier and more comfortable while respecting the choices and independence of each person.
