I went to visit a friend at Briarwood Manor. His memory is good. He had a horrible accident, but he is cognitively impaired. For somebody who needs that and is in that state, it was nice enough. It's small, and I think they have very good care. I found it terribly depressing, but it was like a home. It was almost like a house. It was as if maybe 8 or 12 people were living together in a home. Everybody had their own bedroom.
It was very clean. and it was very country. I didn't get the impression that it was ultramodern. It was almost as if you're staying in a country farmhouse. The upkeep was very nice.
The staff were very good. They're very caring and very loving. This is definitely assisted facility. There's a lot of help there with good help for each person. I don't know what their activities are.

I toured Briarwood Senior Living for my mother and to be honest with you, I didn't like anything of it. Everyone there looked like they were in a coma. They were just sitting around, not talking, not doing anything. They were just sitting and watching the television. Nobody spoke. And the facility was old.
It's just one building to everything. I toured for assisted living. It's a big house and two floors. But I would never put my mother there.
The staff was pleasant. I just did not like the facility. It didn't look like they had much of anything, and it didn't look like they offered too much.

Mom loves it here. This place is really charming from the first step you take in the front door. Really beautiful and homey fire places and decor. Mom loves plop on the couch with her friends and joke around. Staff are really nice, attentive and the residents love them. Cant say enough good things. This home is a diamond in the rough!

My friends mom is here and before Covid I used to visit with my friend. This place is a home away from home and is so charming. The staff is excellent and have such a great relationship with each resident, it’s so sweet. They have been there for a while. Although I haven’t been there in a while I am hearing such great things about the positive changes that are happening there for the residents and staff. I felt the need to give this review as a thank you from the community!

Extremely pleased with Briarwood and its staff. We looked at a number of facilities for my grandmother but decided on Briarwood for its cleanliness and the freindliness of it's staff. We were all treated with such respect and consideration that we felt like home. i was informed that the building is under new award managegement which explains the good results. My family couldn't be more grateful for the good work you all do, thank you guys!!

Briarwood Manor Personal Care Home , in Newfoundland is one of the most amazing place I have ever been to. I loved the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the staff. Every one was so happy and wity. Everyone was willing to help each other and guide their way to one and other. The food was amazing, while also I noticed the activities. Everyone was always kept busy, with monthly activities or short week day activities. Also, the outside view was amazing where the regular citizens can enjoy the summer sun. In that community around, there are many people that are willing to devote their time to make this community happy and running. People always come visit and bring with them fun and excitement of different activities. Overall, there was all postive reviews that I have to say. I found the place to be welcoming, inviting and a fun place to call it a home. props to all the staff for making it all work with their hard efforts.

Sometimes you are truly blessed enough to find a place where you can take a loved one for the intensive care they need and go home and sleep at night knowing that all is well. I have found such a place for my elderly Aunt in Briarwood Manor. It is immaculately clean, delightfully decorated, and a pleasure to be in. The caretakers are exceptionally pleasant and upbeat and seem to know just what to say to deal with difficult times for my Aunt. They have been very attentive to both my Aunt's physical and emotional needs. From the "pet therapy", to the local girl scouts who came to sing, to the efforts to get my Aunt to recover her oil painting skills, they have gone far beyond my expectations. The administration has kept in very close touch with me and has been entirely responsive to any question I had or need perceived. What an outstanding place!!!
