Definitely will recommend!! Staff and Nurses were of the highest quality and cost was a bargain. Best of the 4 places my sister stayed at. She had to move when her condition deteriorated.","reviewerDisplayName":"Ray K","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Respite care","reviewContent":"My mom stayed there for 3 weeks while we went on a trip. The communication process was a little lacking. \n\nNobody asked me what time we were coming to check in. We got there at 8 am and had to wait and ask for help for a cart to put mom’s things on and had to ask the nurses to find out which room was hers. I also didn’t know I was supposed to bring a trash can and towels. \n\nBut when I picked her up she seemed fine and we didn't have any issues after getting home. Surprisingly, it was like we had never left her. \n\nI just wish we had some sort of log that told us what she did while she was there but they apparently don’t keep those kinds of records.\nSo I don’t know if they took her out for lunch or on any outings. \n\nAnd they didn’t keep track of any visitors she had. So I don’t know how she did or what she did. \n\nBut my two sons told me they visited her. My oldest brought his kids to see her and sent me pictures and videos of their visit and my mom seemed so happy to see them.","reviewerDisplayName":"Denise","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Briar Glen Review","reviewContent":"The staff are very nice and the outdoor space at the facility is what made my mind up to place my mother there. \n\n\n I would like to commend [name removed] from A Place for Mom for all his help with getting my mother into a good facility. His service was exceptional ! That is a very difficult time for family and for the person going into a care facility and he was so patient and kind with me.","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Great Layout","reviewContent":" I find if you are kind, others are kind in return. Staff and administrators are great!\nThey always try to provide food that the residents will eat, i.e., my husband will only eat pizza and hamburgers. They make sure he has these items as often as possible. \nI would also like to add the layout of the facility is very conducive to persons with dementia and related diseases. It is one level, rectangular shaped and one can walk for hours without realizing he or she is confined. It also has a great outdoor courtyard.\n","reviewerDisplayName":"Rebecca B","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Everyone has been so helpful and they care for my dad very well.","reviewContent":"They have been wonderful in every way. I feel like my dad is getting good care. People are helpful and kind. I have no complaints at all. I would recommend this facility for any one. I love the courtyard. Me and my dad are able to sit outside and watch the birds.","reviewerDisplayName":"Charles Clark","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Friendly staff","reviewContent":"We are much happier with Briar Glen then our loved ones last place.

We liked it for its location and size. And the people, they seem to truly care. The spaces could use some updating but that's not a big issue for me, it's clean!","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Our Experience","reviewContent":"The facility is in major need of a facelift. Dirty doors, outdated interiors, garden area is awful and unkept as well. Walkways need pressure washing, the place just feels dirty and old. Not that patients are terribly concerned and I'm not saying you need to install marble and oriental rugs, but I do believe families looking at placement expect more. When I brought my Mother there in January 2024, I was told there would be a major renovation and that never happened. I know the food is not appetizing as well. The staff and care is the best thing going at Briar Glen, they need to feel appreciated. ","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"Would recommend ","reviewContent":"The staff are wonderful. Most are long term employees that really care about the residents. I would give it a 5 but the units are 20+ years old and need refurbishing. BG painted the room per my request. The staff are always kind, engaging and happy. I am always informed any time my family member has a physical issue. They even report if they have a headache or aches and pains. Pleased with quality of food and variety. They offer activities from 9-5 and really engage the residents. Comparable to other homes in the area","reviewerDisplayName":"Anonymous","experienceTypeId":4,"experienceTypeName":"I'm a loved one of a resident or client"},{"reviewTitle":"My mom Is happy & so are we","reviewContent":"The people that work there are all very helpful to me and nice & respectful to my mom.
