Briarwood Assisted Living & Memory Care offers assisted-living services for older adults who do not require dementia care but do want daily clinical oversight. Residents have regular access to an attending physician, diabetes monitoring and management, on-site speech therapy, and podiatry visits scheduled in the building. The community can also accommodate respite or short-term stays for those recovering from illness or surgery, allowing family caregivers a temporary break while the resident benefits from the same medical resources available to long-term occupants.
Clinical staffing includes a registered or licensed practical nurse on duty during the day and a nurse on call at all times. An awake night team, routine background checks, 24-hour security coverage, door alarms, and in-room pull cords support personal safety and rapid response. Staff members provide standby assistance with bathing and monitor residents who perform their own dressing, eating, and toileting, stepping in if a change in ability is noted. An activity director organizes daily programming that matches each resident’s care plan and physician orders.
Living quarters are designed for privacy and basic comfort. Many suites include a private bathroom, individual climate controls, cable access, and the option for residents to paint or decorate the space to suit personal preferences, although not every unit has every feature. Housekeeping is completed on a regular schedule, and linens and clothing are laundered according to the community’s established timetable.
Meals follow a rotating set menu that meets nutritional guidelines, but residents can place made-to-order requests during posted hours. Snacks are available throughout the day, and trays can be delivered to the apartment when in-room dining is preferred. A private dining room may be reserved for family events, and the kitchen can prepare modified textures, restricted-sodium plates, and other physician-ordered diets.
Common-area amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible pathways, a full-service barber and beauty shop, a movie room, campus-wide internet access, cultivated gardens, an on-site chapel, and a library that also hosts special-interest clubs. Scheduled transportation is provided for medical appointments and local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
