What this means for your family
Briarfield Place offers a modern, clean environment with a strong physical therapy team, making it a potential candidate for short-term rehab. However, families should be aware of recurring reports regarding slow response times and inconsistent follow-through on medical orders. We strongly recommend conducting a site visit and asking management specifically how they ensure patient call buttons are answered promptly and how medical orders are verified during off-hours.

Key Review Excerpts
“What stood out to me was the caring for my mother with tenderness and the kindness that they all showed myself at a very difficult time.”
“My mother typically went 4 to 6 hours without seeing any employees - not even walking the halls to check on patients.”
“I was due pain medicine at 7pm. I rang the buzzer at 7pm,8pm,9pm. Finally received medicine 3 hrs later.”
