Greenbriar Village

Greenbriar Village is a nice community. They're very friendly, and they work in an orderly fashion. They prep my father's meals every day. He is comfortable with this space as well. The staff is very friendly and nice. He doesn't complain much about the food either. It seems to be that he has very many options when they prepare the meals there. I have tried it myself and I was surprised. They do a pretty good job overall. The condition of the place is very neat and clean. They manage the activities well. They have bingo nights, things for veterans on Veterans Day, pretty much periodically every holiday, and they do something for the seniors as well as birthdays.

Greenbriar Village gave us a more corporate feel. People were just going through the motions of doing their job. The memory care areas were very, very far in the back. It was a very long walk. It didn't go well with me. We didn't see that much of the overall facility.

We were very impressed with how Greenbriar Village looked. It had just been redone (the floors and the apartments). We liked just how it looked. It looked new. The staff was very knowledgeable. There was a situation wherein while we were talking with a staff member, a resident who has dementia came up and interrupted us and the staff member handled it very professionally. We were very impressed with how kind she was to the lady who interrupted us and was very patient. I was very, very impressed with that. I asked a couple of different residents how they liked the food and we talked to the chef and I was very impressed. The people liked the food. They showed us the menus and how often they change. The chef had been there for quite some time and that was important to me, that the chef liked working there.

Greenbriar Village was very impressive. We were quite happy with that tour. They have been remodeling, putting in new flooring, and getting new paint. They had some weird shapes to some of their apartments on the third floor. The people that we talked to were super nice. The lady was super pleasant, explained everything, gave us some paperwork, and addressed any questions we had. She was excellent. We saw an apartment on the first floor. It was just a typical one-bedroom apartment. There was nothing spectacular. They were on the third floor, and it was probably because of the shape of the roofline. They had a lot of odd shaped rooms. They were not square. They might have different walls. One wall could be sloping down from the ceiling, almost down to the floor. The room on the third floor had a great master bath. We went through the dining room where they were serving lunch. The dining room was very nice, and the food looked good. The people were socializing, which is what I liked to see. There's a salon, and they had game rooms. They gave us a list of activities. I know there's a lot of them on there. They had get-togethers to watch basketball games, NASCAR, or something on TV. They have outings to places. They can take you to the doctor and so on. It was super clean, and everything was new. They're continuing to update all their apartments. The whole place was just very impressive. We were surprised at how clean the place was.

I went to Greenbriar Village. I would give it a 10 out of a 10. It was an excellent facility. The admission director was excellent explaining everything, explaining the costs, and explaining what they offer. It was excellent. The rooms were very roomy and very clean. They're very willing to move furniture around to best suit my brother. If I wanted to bring in something that is his, that would be fine. The other thing that was good about this place is that they did have a room available. They just have two rooms for respite care. They are both excellent apartments, not just little rooms. It is an apartment with a small fridge and microwave. You don't have to give 30-day notice. I don't know how much time he's going to need in a place, and so I don't know how to give a 30-day notice. I don't have to at Greenbriar. I can say, 'Hey, he is ready to go home. Tomorrow discharge him, and he can go home.' That was an excellent ability with them. The dining area was very nice. It was spread out so they could have some social distancing. If you wanted to be served in your room, they would bring it to your room. They do laundry just one room at a time. They do the laundry and bring it right back to the room. It was nice because I have back issues, and I don't want to be dragging big bags of clothes home, lift them into the trunk, and so on. It was a very nice feature. They choose their menu, whatever they want each meal; that was very good. They have a therapy room that my brother would go to, and not just do a few exercises in his room. They have therapy on site; whereas the other facility, they would have a visiting therapy come in.

The person I talked to at Greenbriar Village was very nice. I really like that they had a sample one-bedroom in her office; it's kind of nice to see the whole layout without having to look around. It was very comfortable, and the apartment was very nice. It's not in the best area of town, though. While the facility is very nice, and it wasn't in the worst part of town, I didn't feel that it was the best. It's not a place I would feel safe for my eighteen-year-old daughter or my grandma to be in at night. The facility itself is very nice. It's a little older, which I don't have a problem with, but my grandma likes things a little newer and a little greener. Not that it was dirty -- it's just not quite as up to date as some of the ones I have visited. I liked the size of the apartment, it was very well laid out, and it was very well put together.
