Briarcliffe Preserve Assisted and Independent Living sits in a quiet wooded area of Johnston at 54 Old Pocasset Road and is part of the Briarcliffe Campus. The community offers both independent and assisted living, so residents can get help as they need it, and there's specialized memory care for people living with Alzheimer's or dementia using research-based programs and memory-enhancing activities. The community has 66 modern, private apartments with kitchens and "European-style" barrier-free bathrooms for safer access and movement, plus wide hallways with sturdy handrails, large windows for natural light, and options like patios or balconies for fresh air.
Residents can join in diverse community activities in spaces such as the large lounges, game room, media center, fitness room, or library, with well-maintained outdoor areas to enjoy walks or gardening. There's a two-story dining room where residents eat meals together, with restaurant-style service and choices for special diets like allergy-friendly or diabetes-friendly menus. Meals, weekly housekeeping, and laundry and linen services come included, and staff can help with tasks like dressing, grooming, bathing, and managing medicine.
The community is designed for safety, with 24-hour call systems, supervision, individualized care plans, state-of-the-art monitoring, and wheelchair-width doors throughout. There's a back-up generator for power needs and elevators for easier access to both floors. Residents have different floor plans, including studio, one- and two-bedroom, and semi-private or private options. On-site licensed nursing staff gives regular health checks and medical attention, while other services cover non-ambulatory care and help with moving around.
Briarcliffe Preserve offers scheduled transportation to doctor appointments or group outings, and residents have access to a salon, barbershop, laundry, and housekeeping services. The community tries to make life comfortable and positive, aiming to help everyone feel safe, secure, and at home, whether they want to live independently or need some help each day.
