Great staff, very personal care

After caring for my mother for years, I came to the time that I could no longer do so. Mom was at a facility near our home until we moved. We found Briarwood, again close to our new home, and knew it was going to be a great fit. From our initial tour to today, we have not been disappointed! It is a small, intimate setting in an old Victorian home. The staff has amazing longevity and really take exceptional care of Mom. The pricing is affordable too!

Extremely unhappy

I requested a placement for my husband. When he was evaluated he was not able to be placed. It has been 3 months and Briarwood has not returned my $[removed] deposit. I have tried multiple times to recover it. Do not give a deposit to Briarwood in Newfoundland!

A Family Friend

I came to visit a Resident at briarwood who is a family friend. It made me feel happy to see her in good health and in good spirits. The house was clean and neat, and was offered to stay for lunch. We had baked ziti and it was delicious, I left there knowing that my loved one was being taken care of and my mind was at ease.

Just like home

I live in the the area and decided to get info for my dad. I was welcomed in and showed around the facility except it wasn't a facility it was home. The residents seemed happy, the staff answered my questions, and felt pushed into anything. I certainly will consider Briarwood for my mom when I am ready for the next step. Thank you.

A win win

I recently came in for a tour. The staff, greeted us with smiles. The administrative assistant and the head cna were polite and very knowledgeable. The facility was clean and the you could smell something delicious coming from the kitchen. The residents were kind, and very welcoming. My mom will be going there for daycare and I feel more than confident, that this will be a wonderful experience for her.

Small community with the best care

I have visited Briarwood recently and have been extremely impressed with the incredible devotion and care that the staff show towards the residents. It is a small community in which makes the experience a whole lot more personal. I highly recommend this community for anyone looking to be placed in an Assisted living.
