Key Review Excerpts
“My mom has been a long term resident here for several years and I absolutely love this facility. They address any issues quickly and treat the residents with respect and dignity.”
“My dad was admitted for rehab after a hospital stay with the beginnings of a bed sore. During his 3 weeks at Briarwood, he was mostly left to lie flat on his back for days on end.”
“The therapy department was engaged with his progress, showed compassion throughout his treatments, and worked hard at every session to ensure he was on the right track to recovering.”
