Briar Glen

Briar Glen is a very loving and homelike environment that caters and nurtures to the needs of all residents and their individual needs.

In addition to my original review below- I have read some of the negative reviews and I must disagree with most of the complaints. I know there are always exceptions, but in my husband's case, the staff and nurses as a whole were caring and attentive. Anyone who is reading the reviews and sincerely looking for the right place, please visit Briar Glen and see for yourself. That's what I did and I'm so glad I did. My husband was happy the short time he was there. Original review- This facility was truly a God-send for me and my family. My husband was only 61 years old and suffered from Early Onset Alzheimer's. He was physically strong with no other health issues. I questioned myself for months about the timing of moving him to a special care center. The love and care he received at Briar Glen was above and beyond what I thought was possible at a "facility." The friendships he made with the staff and other residents helped me as much as it did him. I, too, consider many of these precious people my friends now and we try to stay in touch regularly. From my sons & daughters-in-law & grandchildren, to my sister & brother-in-law & my husband's best friend, to our pastor- Everyone who visited and came in contact with the nurses and staff at Briar Glen commented on the love and care they witnessed for my husband and they felt it themselves. In my heart and soul I know without a doubt that God placed us right where we needed to be. I can never thank them enough!!

The staff were caring but communication is severely lacking. As someone else previously stated ,my loved one was sent out for behavior and was kicked out while in the hospital. Very difficult to find a place that will take him within the time frame needed and has put me and my family in a very difficult spot. When someone has advanced Alzheimers, I do not think they can be responsible for their behavior. It is up to the medical professionals and facility to see that he gets the medication needed to help control behavior. Especially when there are medical professionals available.
