Briarwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Inc. is a continuing care retirement community, which means folks can move between different types of care as their needs change, without having to leave the campus, and they provide skilled nursing care for people who need help after being in the hospital, or who are dealing with ongoing illnesses or need rehab after surgery, and you'll find both long-term and short-term options here, as well as respite care for families who might just need a break every now and then. The facility is pretty new and has private rooms, each with its own bathroom, air conditioning, cable TV, Wi-Fi, a telephone, and even kitchenettes, but if you want something furnished, they've got furnished rooms too, and an emergency alert system keeps things on the safe side. Residents here get help with daily activities like bathing, dressing, taking medicine, and transferring, and there's always someone around to help since a nurse is on site 12-16 hours a day, plus a 24-hour call system and round-the-clock supervision, so folks don't have to worry about being alone if they need something.
The dining services include a community dining room, restaurant-style dining, all-day dining, and special menus for residents with allergies or diabetes, which is important since not everyone can eat the same food, and if someone prefers to eat in their room, options are flexible. Briarwood accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, which helps make it easier for different people to get care here. There are a lot of ways to keep busy, like arts and crafts, activity rooms, music programs, a movie theater, and even a game room, and you'll also find a library where folks can read and relax. The facility has walking paths, gardens, a fitness room, outdoor common spaces for fresh air, and spa or wellness rooms, so residents can enjoy themselves while staying active, and there are community-sponsored events, movie nights, and even activities that residents help run themselves.
Transportation and parking are available for residents, which is handy if you still want to get out and about. The staff supports residents with a friendly, respectful approach and they're dedicated to making sure everyone can do as much as possible for themselves, but will lend a hand when needed. The goal here is to help people keep their dignity and to encourage recovery and wellness. Briarwood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center has a supportive environment with amenities and activities that are designed to make life better for seniors, and there's a picture gallery and video tour folks can look at to get a sense of the place, which can be helpful before visiting in person.
