“My father has dementia and had to go to Briarwood for rehab. He really liked all the nurses and the CNA’s. The place always smelled nice and clean. His therapist were all very nice and helpful. I don’t have any complaints on Briarwood and if we had to go there again for rehab I wouldn’t have a problem with that. Thanks to all the employees there for being so nice and helpful and also for the care …”
