Very impressed

I went to visit my aunt, it felt so cozy and homey. it's a rather small friendly community where everyone knows each other, especially the staff. The staff, management are amazing, caring and will do anything to make my aunt feel safe, and happy. When I was there, a school choir came to sing for the residents, it was really lovely. I highly recommend this place, thank you!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living.
