Brier Creek in Green, OH is an Independent Living community that centers its health services on residents who need routine diabetes care. The staff manages both oral medications and insulin injections, coordinating closely with residents and their physicians to keep blood glucose levels within target ranges. Because the community does not provide memory-care programming, prospective residents with dementia-related needs will need to look elsewhere for appropriate support.

Round-the-clock staffing and a secured environment back up the medical services. All employees complete background checks, an on-site activity director coordinates daily engagement, and team members remain available 24/7. While residents are expected to handle most of their activities of daily living, assistance is on hand for self-care tasks such as bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Transfer help is limited to the use of a walker, so anyone who requires two-person transfers or mechanical lifts would not be a match for the community.

Accommodations range from studio to one-bedroom layouts. Depending on the specific unit, residents may have a private bathroom, a kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and routine housekeeping. Not every apartment includes every listed feature, so it is best to confirm the exact layout and amenities during a visit.

Meals are served three times daily in the main dining room from either a set menu or on-order selections, and snacks are available throughout the day. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Independent Living residents participate in a monthly meal plan and also receive weekly housekeeping and laundry service as part of their basic package.

Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, communal gardens, and walking paths. The community is pet-friendly, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Additional amenities include wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber/beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, restaurant-style venue, pub, and an organized walking club. Internet access, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments round out the service offerings.
